We have a good enough bench to be able to do this.I think this is where we’ll start to see a ‘Man City’ type selection whereby some will play who didn’t on Friday and change again for next Saturday. It’s a long hard season and he knows it, so I reckon they’ll be plenty of Tinkerman tactics coming up
Completely agree Doyle as been dogshite and we have amhad a few in the last few yearsSo where does Faes come into contention? Because Doyle hasn't impressed me yet TBH.
I think squad depth will be a major factor this season. We've already seen it with all the games where we've finished strongly and scored late goals - we just have more quality on the bench that most other teams in the division, so are able to tilt games strongly in our favour in the latter stages. This will also apply to our ability to rotate between matches - we will be able to rest more players without suffering a major drop off in performance. Over 46 games, that will be a massive advantage.We have a good enough bench to be able to do this.
Agreed but think he needs restingDoyle has made a couple of mistakes but some of his passing has been superb.
He’s 19 years of age.
Thought JJ was a bit (understandably) rusty in the first half but really stepped up after Sulemana left him for dead when he first came on.Agreed but think he needs resting
JJ
Coady
Faes
That’s the best back 3 for me .
I think he’s referring to CoadyBack in the team?
You don't fail your medical just because of an injury, Maddison was 'injured' when we signed him.Just read that Cannon was injured when we signed him.
Surely that’s a very big gamble to sign a player that must have failed his medical ?
I would have thought a stress fracture of the back was enough to cause concern.You don't fail your medical just because of an injury, Maddison was 'injured' when we signed him.
It does seem like a gamble, but maybe it was a 'now or never' moment where we had a unique opportunity to get somebody on the cheap who has the potential to be a major star in the future...?I would have thought a stress fracture of the back was enough to cause concern.
How did he complete the rest of his medical when in such a state of incapacity ?
Buying a player who they knew was injured, and could be out for months or the whole season is to me, a big gamble.
