I think we needed two first team ready players. One a central midfielder, ideally a defensive one. We also needed a right sided winger.
I raised it at the time and was told we didn’t need midfield cover as Hinshelwood and Milner could cover there. It Gilmour pulls a hamstring today we are...
For this match we are missing:
March
Pedro
Enciso
Hinshelwood
Adringra
Milner
Barco
So that’s 7. Meanwhile Fati, Veltman, Mitoma, Lamptey, Lallana, Moder aren’t fit enough for 90 minutes.
It was naive of people to suggest we would soon have everyone back and so didn’t need to strengthen.
