Video of Kirchhoff, Cattermole and Pickford. Pickford especially looks to be training intensely and I wouldn't be surprised to see him back against Crystal Palace, if not Tottenham. Kone is back as well, his ball control is ****ing ****. Not sure if we are supposed to be impressed by this #TEAMKONE
Every little helps. Catts and Kirchoff (if either can last more than 6 minutes) are vital. Mannone is a calamity. So Pickford is a must. As for Kone. Well its a body. Nowt else to say.
Look, Kone might have crap control, terrible passing accuracy, below par dribbling, poor concentration...hold on where was I going with this...
Kone, though Can't even stand still and pass a ball back to himself off the wall. He's chasing it about like a ****ing little kid. How much do we pay these guys every week again?
We need them back sharpish, bad enough the quality of squad without the injuries. Think we can stay up with the injuries back.
Going to be a massive mountain to clime if we don't sign a strong forward. Massive gamble to pin it on Big Vic's fitness. But what else can we do given the players can't get it out of our own half without him. Sick of being so limited, it season on season. Coupled with the injuries it looks impossible. Must get people back and keep them back.
It doesn't look good at the minute. But we've got a shed load of experience of being in this situation. I still think that Catts will make a difference but he's gotta get back bloody soon!
We have far too many ageing crocks on the books, add the normal wear and tear to this group and our already lightweight squad does not look fit for purpose. Not sure that Catts will be the answer this time, too little too late imo.
