Could be mind games for both purposes. We are without our key okayed. So Vlahovic comes in. The world can’t complain. And also. It means we could maybe call some games off because we have some serious injuries. I’ve heard that there are at least 7/8 players injured now and we have covid cases.
After the game Howe said Callam though he had been kicked. But no sign of that so something must of went.
Two strikers needed in Jan. At least one centre back and a full back and a centre mid. They are the main priorities.
A striker in Jan is a must now. It was before the injury tbh. Gayle doesn't even count and Jobocop is now officially a CM so we have no one.
Just realised Watford game isn't until mid jan, panic over. Just southampton to face in the mean time with everton game off. Good stuff. Hopefully ASM will be back in that time, and also we'll have signed someone by then. Watford is a 6 pointer. Must win.
I'd rather play Saints and the Mersey Mackems later in the season when our new players start to bed in.
It's a tough call, if we can win it and get out of the bottom 3 it puts even more pressure on Watford, Burnley & Leeds. The sooner that pressure comes to bear on teams around us, the better. However we have a greater chance of winning the game if we do a good job in the Jan window.
