Inexperience will cost you. The kids and Jones in particular have done fantastically, but errors like today will creep in over the space of a season when you have lads in the side who have only done 20 games in their career. Thiago comes straight back in once fit, and hopefully Ox can give us a different dynamic.
Wholly concerning that a trend of dropping points to shite teams like Fulham, WBA and Brighton is appearing. That needs to be arrested if we’re to win this thing. I was confident we’d pull away during this period - the next two are massive now. Two tough away games. Again - hopefully Thiago is a big difference maker there.
Interested in hearing from the lads who think we can compete for the title without buying a CB
It’s just not going to be possible .... be shocked if we don’t buy
We’re top - that’s competing?
Unfortunately think there’s little chance we sign a starting CB, so let’s all hope it’s nothing serious for Matip. Williams and Phillips are far too slow for this level and the thought of them vs the likes of Rashford and Martial doesn’t exactly fill me confidence. At best I think it’ll be another Klavan type.
