I think we need to accept that Bentacur and Biss may not hit top form this season, Bentacur almost certainly won’t. Hopefully he’s fully recovered by the start of next season, not against him being used as a squad player this season as he seems a long way from peak fitness
Why can they not hit top form this season? We have nearly half a season to go. Bentancur has had a couple of games off form but too many on here read too much into every performance. I’m feeling confident with everyone fit and available they’ll all be at the top of their game.

I think there’s a fair chance Bentacur never recovers his form. Ever

I think there’s a good chance he never recovers his form this season, or potentially even until 2025. That’s normal for such an injury

Bissouma is carrying malaria and a thigh injury. I imagine it will be a month before he’s back at full fitness
 
So yeah like I said Bissouma and Gio will make sure that Hojbjerg will get limited mins

Why are you struggling with such a basic concept?

Basic concept that says Gio (permanently injured attacking midfielder) keeping out PEH (always available defensive midfielder)? Not very basic, more like fantasy land. I get the part about Bissouma, but mentioning Gio on that context is a joke. But ok, I'll stop it here. Good if it makes sense for you at least.
 
Selling clubs will eventually realise with no money to spend, teams can't pay them what they want for their players. Us included.

If we thought PEH was a £30m player before FFP clamped down, we need to realise he's probably a £15m now.

The upside to it, is that applies to all players. So, whilst we may not make as much as we want selling him, we'll ultimately spend less replacing him.
 
A fair chance he never recovers his form ever??? wtf are you on?🤣🤣
Why would that be? Because he had an injury? Against Villa before Cash smashed him he looked like he was never away. Against Utd he was class all day. He’s missed the best part of 11 months through injury and just needs time and he’ll get there.
Watch the standard of our play go up now that there’s serious competition in midfield and up top now. He’ll step up.
By form I mean full 100% recovery from ACL. He might be fine, but there’s a chance it might not ever be the same therefore he won’t recover his form.

Agree early signs looked good in terms of recovery but recent form has been poor. Could be part of the recovery process arc but to blindly assume he will be 100% is madness. It’s a cunt of injury and not unusual to never be the same

Mate his knee will be stronger than it ever was because he’ll have rehabbed the shit out of it. His injured knee will be stronger than his so called good knee.
It’s not unusual for a non athlete or lower league players who don’t get the right treatment and rehab. He’ll still be doing rehab every day just now to constantly strengthen the muscles around the knee. He is fine and just needs to get to top form. Automatically people will go to his injury for loss of form rather than just going through a bad patch.

There are examples of players that never return their best - even with top treatment and rehab. Hopefully not the case but it’s not automatic that he fully recovers. I also think that rehab / recovery is a long old road….. VVD took a year to return to prior form
 
Looks like a piece of art from the period when you were born 👴🏻
Wow top notch wit
Have you thought of doing the comedy circuit?

nb
You were wrong by 2-3 generations on its age relative to mine
So - basically you maintaining your grasp of facts to the same standard as your football knowledge .
Well done

you're lying again.

We've had this convo before and I specifically listed the big games where he showed up (against those exact teams you've listed).

You actually stated he did nothing in the game last season away to chelski....WHEN HE SCORED. I stated he scored and you responded so what.
was shocking that day, goal was irrelevant

I back Ange not you (sixth choice under him)
 
Completely different coming on when the games done. When he’s started we’ve tended to struggle and that’ll happen again

For me yes, Hojbjerg let’s players run off him all the time. Far more than Bisoumma, he’s got no athleticism He’s got stiff hips and can’t play on the turn. Coming on when the games done is completely different(he actually gave the ball away and played a hospital ball in the time he was on yesterday)he played well against Villa

People are looking for a scapegoat but Bisoumma wasn’t worse than anyone else. It’s always the case that the players who aren’t playing are the answer until they play and then they’re not
Agree hojberg is limited in certain areas technically not a great player,where as bissouma is.Im not scapegoating biss its just all the things he was doing at the start of the season have evaporated under him,hojberg seemed to have his best games alongside Bentancur.Its an area we really need to upgrade on this summer.
