Midfield has been like that for ages. Weak as piss in the tackle and hardly ever win a 2nd ball regardless of who we're playing. The fact that our front line give the ball away cheaply most of the time hardly helps.
Spence (again). Unlike the others he'd go into a tackle, look like he'd lost it, go in again and scrap for the ball. Just about every other challenge on the pitch was weak as piss except for some of our defenders who you expect to put in tackles. Midfield was outfought and beaten to everything...
There are likely very, very few supporters out there who think their club didn't need to do more in every single window. If we can somehow stop this freak run of injuries I think we may well be reasonably happy in 4 months time. We have Vicario, Romero, Udogie, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke all...
Fair enough, but Dragusin got injured late in the window and we'd almost got VdV and Davies back. I think we'd have been stung trying to buy a CB early. as it stands, we let Wolves strike a deal and then hijacked it at what appears to be a very good price.
He stayed on the pitch for a short while so I'd assume it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Quite often an ACL injury means there's no chance of bearing any weight on it. Fingers crossed.
Think we did OK. CB became an emergency when Dragusin's season got finished and we made a quality signing there in Danso. Kinsky early doors steadied the ship. Will have to wait and see on Tel but I reckon he'll get a fair bit of game time. We'll have to tinker about with the EL squad but...
Read somewhere that Tyrick Mitchell's contract was running out. Not sure if that was extended but I wouldn't mind him as LB cover, which would allow Spence to shift to RB (especially if Porro is wanted by RM).
No idea why we've done this. Should have brought Phillips back. Hopefully he doesn't get on the pitch because he's dreadful. There you go Axel, now go and prove me wrong.
Lots of really shit players have premiership experience (Disasi being one of them). I hope to God we steer clear of this one, hopefully because we're stringing Chelsea along til the end of the window and then, 'Nah'.
