The league games are coming in tough and tougher. March Guehi supposed to be on the opposition side today, unfortunately it is not so. Hugo Ekitike shot himself in the foot yesterday by getting a second yellow card, he has opened the door for Alaxender Isak to start this game, This is not going to be an easy game, I hope we can get all the points.

Alisson Bradley konate vvd kerkez Grwvenberch Szoboszlai Salah wirtz gakpo Isak Can put on macallister and Chiesa who will be on the bench after the card and performance. Frimpong played his way out of starting imo (really really poor) We are now left hoping we get to January 1 without a cb injury.
We are not getting to Jan without a CB injury Probs be VVD then all we will hear is - you only won cause you kept VVD injury free whilst telling us he is not that good a player - not a great CB etc etc
I mean it happened last season. Konate was out for a stint. Gomez stepped up. Gomez tends to look better when he's been able to string a few games together so, as poor as he was yesterday, I wouldnt go in full on panic mode about it.
Also have to take into account he has kid debutant next to him and had Endo Nyoni infront who 1, aren’t great getting the ball to feet in the turn, and 2, is young inexperienced kid. Stick Mac/grav/szobo in that midfield and suddenly has a bit more protection and can give the ball to them under pressure and let them deal with it rather than trying to force it or play 1-2s as Endo can’t turn on the ball under any pressure. Games like that I don’t think can really use to get a proper judge of a player as always a bit of a mess, especially early in season when 50% of them probably aren’t fully match fit either.
I agree. The problem is gomez gets a few weeks then gets some injury. Konate is likely to dive in somewhere and hurt himself doing it as anything. Its mid September. Theres 21 games to be played before anything can be done aboit this so it is what it is. If it were 5 games with gomez I'd shrug it off. If its 10 I'd start to worry he wont make the pace and get injured. But most of all it'll mean all 3 must roate at times amd if I were slot I'd be starting to give gomez 10/15mins at rb where possible just to sharpen him up. Had his issue last night was being uncomfortable at lcb imo. But he was making bad errors on tje ball and in retracting runs
