How come so many of our players are struggling after injury? Maddison, udogie, bentancur, richy... maybe there's others.
Udogie is literally just back and had virtually no pre-season.
Bentancur & Richy were re-injured.
It's pretty typical for players to struggle after injury tho'; partly due to the fact that it's momentum that got them to the level we wish to see them return to in the first place.

For sure, players will usually struggle a bit after injury. Some of our guys seem to still be way off their best even months later. Maddison should be plenty fresh by this stage. Maybe we're just a bit crap at the moment and that's exacerbating their sub optimal performances
From what I saw this guy played well the other night. Don't think the goal was an easy finish at all.
Perhaps more of a role going forward?

Heard from a source Maddison was carrying a minor knock for some months last season.For sure, players will usually struggle a bit after injury.

The severity of injury will also play a part.... Van Dyke was pretty shit for a year after his injury...... And realistically you wouldn't have expected Bentancur to be much different...... And that was before that dirty cunt Cash took him out a week after his return.
I'd focus on Maddison cos the other's mentioned speak for themselves tbh.... On the whole I'd say Maddison has looked better this season; but yeh he was crap agains the scum.
He was carrying something in the early part of the season (pre being hurt v Chavs)....... Ange said as much..... Remember; he was subbing both him & Son off as early as possible in those early games?
Glad this lad has been kept on.
Nice to see, can physically handle himself in the Prem
Would be nice to see him on the right linking up with Johnson

im having him over udogie right now. thought we looked better over on that left side when he came on. hes a fair bit quicker than udogie too. udogie so one dimensional in his game, spence can do what he does and more. also think hes a bit taller too and probably better in the air which helps with set pieces.
Can't help but like this guy . Always puts in a good shift
He's done enough every time he's come on to convince me. Cutting Djed from Europa squad was a dubious call but someone has to make the tough calls and I'm glad it's not me. IMO Djed can now start PL games whenever Pedro and Destiny need resting.
I’ve been really impressed with Djed since he’s come back in the summer.
Maybe he’s become a bit more mature since the Genoa loan, or maybe he’s felt a bit of love from Ange and the coaching team that he didn’t get from Warnock or Conte.
Either way, it’s only a good thing for us, because he is, and can be a very good player.

Udogie starts Europa and DJed starts at Brighton for me
still dont understand the reasoning for it, i believe it was a choice of Djed or Forster. But that seems an easy choice to me, Austin can't be that terrible as a stand in for this early stage of the comp .
It will probably be corrected when/if we reach the knockouts
A weird thought. Bear with me here
- Spence is tall and seems decent in the air
- he has solid build and can handle himself
- he’s quick
- he can play on the left
- he’s confident on the ball
With more defensive nous (so not right now), I wonder if he could be the understudy for vdv we need in the future.
