    Sounds like we can’t defend set pieces… not a great habit to get into when we have Newcastle and Arsenal in gameweek 2 and 3

    We’ve got to sign up Konate

    this will be our starting full backs imo. Bring VvD and Maca into this team and it will be very close to our starting 11. Endo to give way and unfortunately Szlob, who can count himself very unlucky to lose a starting slot.

    Wirtz will be the folcrum of our attacks. Etikite looked lively and going forward looked fun. Always hard to gauge in friendlies.

    Not ideal is it.

    If he wont then we have to decide.

    Keep him and wonder if he will flake out half way through if we are not top?

    Or sell him and make sure we are not top.

    Simply dont see a cb option out there just now.

    Not that I see at the moment.

    Obviously guehi is going to happen after the community shield but he's not at the level but a lot better than Robertson or endo ffs.

    I actually think that some of the kids will get a few run outs this year. Rio is making claims for the first team but we need to be careful with the younger lads.

    Another silly error by nallo.

    Can head it away and let's it bounce thrn had his arm up and it hits it but ref waves it off.

    Stop making juvenile mistakes if you want to be in the senior squad make up.

    The difference between ngumoha and nyoni is they have that cushion behind them to go play.

    Nallo has to be solid 100% as a cb so he has to learn to get the basics absolutely spot on to become a senior player.

    We will have to look at the club squad make up.

    Ngumoha will need a foreign slot but I'd rather him than chiesa. Any day of the week.

    Ekitike is good.
    Wirtz and salah are telepathic.
    Gravenberch was classy but needs macca with him.
    Kerkez was OK. Bit of a Robertson early end product but he was committed.
    We desperately need to get everyone fit and keep them.fit.

    2 players for every position? No way do we have anything like it but we've plenty of bodies.

    I regret asking

    But I really don't understand the cheisa hate

    First touch? Top class
    Passing? Top class
    Work rate? Top class
    Attitude? Top class
    Cost? Pennies

    Fans attitude? He's a ****

    Shouldn't say fan attitude, Around the ground he's reasonably popular.

    we don’t have adequate cover at CB.

    GK - Yes
    RB - Yes
    LB - Yes
    #6 - Yes if you assume that Macca covers Grav
    #8 - Yes
    #10 - Yes
    LW - Yes, assumes Rio steps up or more likely Etikite
    RW - yes, none as good as Salah but currently a few options
    #9 erm….no, I guess not anymore

    So CB + #9
