I’ve decided that we’re not going to be defensively sound regardless. So let’s just blitz them.

……………...Alisson
…..TAA…..Konate….Virgil
.…MacAllister….DomSzob
Mo..Nunez..Gakpo...Jota…..Diaz

Let’s just batter these ice cream-eating, sunbathing, lotion-dousing, sandcastle-building, beach hut-dwelling ****s.

Some side that. On a serious note though, I’d like to see us play with 3 CB’s if we are to persist with TAA being given the free reign in midfield & I think that plus a decent CM will help no end to solve our defensive problems.

this is why people like me are just fans whereas people like rock about with your UEFA Pro Licence badges on display.

That's a Fifa98 through to Fifa23 Badge I'll have you know, with various FM qualifications

Great to see Thiago & Bajetic back training with the squad yesterday but I didn’t spot Matip in there. Hope he’s not injured

[greenturnip]

Might see Endo on the bench...

[Scratch]

Might see him start, if he passes his medical and gels with the team in training tomorrow. Fitness won't be an issue, just a matter of seeing how quickly he adapts.

[Shaggy]

Sounds like Curtis Jones is injured.

There’s a shock.

FFS. Got rid of Ox and it still feels like Ox is still here. Apparently it's an ankle injury now. These are not growing pains, Curtis is not the man we can look at for anything other than 10 games a season.

To be fair to him his previous longer term injury was a freak eye injury rather than any recurring injury.


The one thing him getting injured now might do is force our hand in terms of bringing in an extra player this window.

Panic buying is totally our wheelhouse.

Has Jurgen given him a 'reducer' in training to try and force this?
