Which is crazy to me because his injury record before he came to the club was exceptional.

Yeah.... makes you wonder doesn't it?

Haven't we got a few players whose injury records at previous was exemplary?
...and to think, we avoided Pedro Neto BECAUSE of his appalling injury record at Wolves...

Lemme guess, he's probably not missed a minute for Chelsea, eh?
 
I think TF has tried to play it safe. By that I mean as a football coach, 2-3 games in, he realised that his forward line options were limited in terms of ability and inexperience in The PL.
Therefore he chose to set us up to become difficult to beat and that worked up to a point.
Now after Chelsea and Copenhagen I hope he sees that the double pivot of Pally and Benny is working against us. slows us down and isn't the way to continue.
Against Copenhagen, both Oderbert and KPM showed they are worth persisting with and a single number 6 and Xavi as the 10, makes us more fluid and has the opposition asking more questions.

Franks original "approach" worked ok in terms of results, but now he has to be boulder. This is what I want to see tomorrow!

COYS!

I agree, this will be the team.

I’ll cope with the double pivot of bentinho once Bentancur is instructed to be an attacking player and play forward not backwards sideways all the time

Richie, yes...
But I get the feeling Frank likes Johnson...
Same as Gray... Frank obviously sees something in both of them...

goes back to his (failed) Brentford transfer attempt...

Personally I think Johnson and Richie would probably do really well at a club like Brentford,!!

Atm I think johnson on right balances attack. On the left it dont work. The entire attack needs upgrading imo but I think muani is improving.
 
I have no prob with Johnson starting tomorrow.

*once he’s on the right, running in behind amad - basically what he’s good at. There’ll be space for him snd he can behind amad and destroy Shaw

It’s Brennan’s kinda game
