That gambling addict suspension would be an absolute disaster if Willock hadn’t returned at the right moment. Thankfully, our defensive issues can be plugged for now. I worry more about striker than anything else, given Wilson’s body is made of play dough

We could make a really competitive 11 out of that list by the way.

 

Manquillo     Burn.    Botman.   Target

 

         Tonali.   Bruno.    Anderson

 

Murphy.             Isak.               Barnes

 

Expecting Pope to get a torn glute tomorrow to complete the team :lol:

We could use Miley against Bournemouth but if he isnt ready maybe Ritchie will have to play and put Joe, Joe and Longstaff in the MF.


I’ve seen Tino play in CM before - he’s isn’t that bad - got the technical ability to play the odd match if we are desperate

So 8 injuries and only 2 of those are timescales are measured in weeks rather than months. That's ridiculous. 

 

Isak coming back will be huge, just hope he can get right back into it quicly.

 

Thank fuck Willock has come back and hit the ground running else we'd be seriously screwed.

This is turning into a real crisis. You just know there'll be more against Dortmund too, such is the current frequency.

 

If we can somehow hang on until the weekend.... hopefully some Isak/Botman combo can return after internationals.

Just realized we have seven games in December, which means you have eight :lol:. Seems bonkers.


The Xmas fixtures are pure overkill imo - don’t need to have so many - save 1 for Jan at the very least 

 

Think the internationals in Oct/Nov come at a poor time - creates a backlog

You can’t seriously be advocating Matt Ritchie start a PL game for us?

I'm being serious

Now we've seen trippier left back and tino right back anything is possible


They’re both good players - that’s the difference, Trippier has played LB for England more than once. Liv is RB and obviously very capable there.
 

You don’t put our best CB in midfield to accommodate Paul fucking Dummett.
