They take at minimum 2 weeks to heal, then a further week or 2 building them back up. I didn't think he'd be risked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps didn't want to throw an inexperienced Ned in to a very lively home game against one of the two best teams in the league and doesn't trust Carlos after what happened in pre-season. Must mean we're looking at another player that can fill both a RCB and RB role. Geertruida makes so much sense if we're keeping Cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton, Wycombe, Wolves and if late, Ipswich. Not a bad bunch of games to miss tbh. a good run for Kosta/Bogarde to get some valuable lesson time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems a better and more natural fit though.. We’ve also still got the option of moving Konsa over for Carlos or Mings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be our strongest position, but we have options and potential. What’s all we can really ask for right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouba back will be a major boost though) but am wondering or even slightly concerned that we may be short on quality in those big or tough European games… but we have Unai… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly for the harder ties. We sacrifice a bit of our attacking play to have a tougher back 4.

Cash or the kids for the easier ties where we can attack Makes a lot of sense… if Ty can come back strong and stay fit that’s massive as well. All of the previously injured players can be major contributors… great to have JJ back and hopefully Buendia will be heavily involved and perform really well. I expect improvements in some aswell, Pau’s only going into his second season with us (hopefully can steer clear of knocks and injuries now). Maybe Matty can get to a new level… CL football is a real motivator. Unai must have a lot of faith in him. We need a lot from our senior players… we will continue to rely heavily on the likes of Emi, Bailey, Watkins… I’m just not sure on how much attacking depth and quality we have at this point. And RB is an oft repeated concern but we’ve covered that. I’m not completely comfortable with relying on and expecting too much (especially consistency) from our younger players, even Rogers. The good thing is that we have versatile players like Tielemans and McGinn. If Buendia can step into that 10 role too… Youri can play in an attacking role again once Bouba is back and if Barkley comes into contention more… We at least have options… it’s exciting to think what Unai can get out of the players really. Very much a wait and see at this point but performances have been really encouraging so far… we’ve actually made a decent start to a season when was the last time we managed that?
