Do we think De Zerbi might pick Tynan on the bench next week? Or will he fill up it with Steve Sedgley for vibes?
I think we have to do something as without Solanke and Simons we have only 3 fit forwards for 3 positions ( Richarlison, Kolo Muani and Tel), so we are definitely short.
Townsend is both creative and a goal threat plus adds raw speed to the attack - in youth matches this season has 13 goals and 6 assists in 24 matches plus looked the part in 45 mins first team preseason match. Aged 18 and lacks first team experience but say a 30 mins sub appearance might change a game in closing stages. The only other alternative probably Wilson loaned in from Hearts has SPL experience but he's more of a no 9 although pacey.
