I dislike Mou with a passion, but I thought Gio for Ndombele was the right call, if both have fitness issues. And they do. This was probably decided prior to the game, for the two to split playing time. Ndombele was also on a yellow.

Get Bergwijn in, they will foul him a lot and maybe get a red card, plus he is creative.

I think we need to stop reading too much into the substitution.

Likelihood is that both Ndombele and Lo Celso are still building match fitness, and as we’ve seen from both this game and Plovdiv, and the lack of either player against Everton, they are our crucial creative forces at the moment.

It’s important they both get game time, and neither get injured. We can’t afford to be without either of them.

Just questioning why when we’re playing so bad as a team, you’d highlight a player who’s not even on the pitch.

it’s not like you haven’t got 11 to pick from today.

No to being a smart arse too, maybe guilty of pointing out the obvious but definitely not smart.

Enjoy the second half...Dumbarse?
Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realise that I had to pick solely from today's starting 11 the players that are clearly not good enough to start for us.

We literally vacate the centre of the pitch at times. Someone needs some discipline to stay in there

it‘s that double pivot. It just leave the midfield far to deep and disconnected from the attack. We don’t need Winks and Hojbjerg sitting. Pick one of them and let two guys play in front.
I’d like that to be GLC and Bale.
son and Kane as a strike partnership
Proper wing backs for with with a back three

Some people really underestimate Son. He and Kane are both world class strikers. They just need people who can load the bullets. That is people other than each other
