The thing with 5-2-3 is it leaves one less midfield space for a holding midfielder.

Will we be playing a higher line to squash midfield and help break up play?
 
<laugh> It’ll be interesting to see what Juric decides to do with him and the captaincy when he is available again.

I've got a feeling that the injury plays into Juric's hands. Basically, Bedders will be captain for the next few weeks whilst Jack recovers and gets up to speed. Then he will say that Bedders has done a good job, so to not upset the balance keep him captain.

Bednarek is clearly a leader, whereas Stephens ??

The fact that Armstrong is playing so many games for us this season is a damning indictment of our recruitment tbh. We knew before a ball was kicked that he’s not a PL player. And yet the other options are so bad that he keeps getting in based purely on the fact that he can run and run…and we wonder why we don’t score goals.

I apologise in advance for feeling so confident in TP's first goal that I've put him in my Fantrax team today. My opponent has Mateta and Eze. Who wins?
