Feels like we really needed a Pedro or Ekitike in the window, that touch of class.  Stating the obvious I know, hopefully Wissa really hits the ground running 

Ekitike would have fit our current style of play - we're going to have to admit to get the best out of Woltemade

Aye we’ve lost our best player so by definition our ceiling is lower. 
 

Elanga isn’t night and day better than Murphy so far. And the rest aren’t automatic starters (excluding the strikers who aren’t as good as Isak).  
 

It’s harder to get such big jumps in quality with the squad we have now. But even Burn to Botman you can see how Botman is better on the ball and almost as good in the air. Another Tonali/Bruno level player would take the level up despite how good Joelinton is. 
 

Having Gordon back will be big. 

 

I agree, but Thiaw, Ramsey, Elanga and Woltamade all have the potential to be ceiling raisers down the line.

 

Plus having a bigger squad means you have you can keep your best players in good condition, indirectly raising the ceiling. It's something we've struggled with in recent times.

Pedro and Ekitike would have been useless if they got ruled out for 6 weeks due to injury as well.

 

Wissa was that touch of class signing, it's just rotten luck that he got crocked on international duty.

Wasn’t sure where to put this, but given stuff re ‘Eddie’s slow starting magpies’.  Here’s when we have picked points this season this season compared to last four.

Surprised we stuck with him early doors in 21-22, really poor start.

It's what makes all the FPL 'experts' that come up on my feed so bizarre. Not one of them brings up our defence. 

The ones I watch do. But there's 2 big issues - lots of European and Cup football, strength in depth in most defensive positions and not the best fixtures.

 

I don't think anyone's minutes are secure except Pope.
