I fear this means we will see Skipp and PEH.
I very much fear this too. For some reason managers can’t help themselves. We’ve seen it over and over and over and over. Those two together simply do not work.

Yep, agreed with a few posters that i would make a change in Dier for Davies. Playing 4 full backs would be pretty cool too 😂

Looking at the table tonight, a win tmrw is so key for laying down a marker for the season. Lose, and we’re in that mix for 5th, 6th, 7th. Win and we catapult ourselves back up to level with city and showing that we are not going away from the top 4 without a fight. #nervous

Udogie
Bentancur
Sarr
Lo Celso
B Johnson

Kulusevski

Emerson is a good defender and we need his pace and physicality in central defence.

Bentancur at 6 is crucial

really thought we had seen the end of the depressing days when we saw Hojberg and skipp starting in midfield for us . But I guess injuries and suspensions have made it impossible.

The good feel big Ange new dawn suddenly seems a distant memory 😞

I think that a lot of people got carried away. You have to enjoy the moment but good things usually take time.

Gosh the entire first choice midfield and central defence out. Can’t remember us having injuries like this.
We have had injuries like this but those times our squad was uniformly sh*t bar a few so it didn't feel like a dip...

so depressing we're ending up with Dier and PEH. clear from Wolves that they can't play in Ange's system, so they revert to type.

There's a long, long way to go yet and our rivals for top 4/5 mostly have Europe to contend with too.

Hojberg was a godsend for our midfield when he started with us. People forget that. It's good to have a player who is never injured and tries hard. Dunno why he gets so much grief on here. He also played his part coming on when we won the 1st 10 games of the season.

Can't we just say 'not first choice' and leave it at that? He is not the reason we lost the last two games.
