Eze doesn't have a bad injury record afaik. Olise had that hamstring but is that a reason not to sign a player? He's an incredible player for his age.

Doesn't matter how good a player is if they're not on the pitch.

Well that's my question - do we write a player off because they've had one hamstring injury at 22?

Sess has been out with hamstring injuries every season for about 4 or 5 years, it's not remotely comparable. Most players come back from it.

In team for sure, but POTY is Rodri by far.
Raya/Martinez/Areola
Porro
Gabriel
Dijk
Doughty
Rodri (POTY)
Gross
Foden
Saka
Palmer (YPOTY)
Watkins
I think the 3rd one is stonewall. First first isn't a PK and the second falls is on the line between foul/no foul.

Saliba should be in there.

Probably will due to hype, Rice as well. But Gabriel has been their most solid defender imo, stats back it up by far as well.

Liverpool showing us how we should’ve played away to Fulham.
I don’t like Klopp and can’t wait until he leaves but I do think his tactical system is really really good, it’s attacking, it’s gegenpressing, it’s dominating the ball, it’s wide attacking fullbacks, it’s fast attacks on transition etc, and it always to me seems pretty balanced.
Id like Ange to tweak how we play just a tad so it can be a bit more like Liverpools system as they’re still very attacking but they have a bit more balance about them.

Just watched the highlights, I personally think all 3 were penalties.

Certainly. Also wish we’d signed him from Brentford, there are clear players in the championship who given time look good bets to do well in the PL, Bowen, Maddison others.
I also think Benhrama if given more game time and in a more attacking team could’ve exploded.

Especially when the wan Bissaka handball was very similar at Wembley. That was given. Grealish yesterday 10yds from the ball. Jumped with his arm up.

I see it as pretty similar. The difference is our pressing isn't as good and we're much easier to play through and counter against.
There was one moment at the end that crystallized it for me - Fulham try to play a ball out to their forward, and Endo is just standing in the right spot and cuts it out. We don't really have a player like that, and when we're attacking everyone is looking to get involved and we have too many bodies forward, and too much space open to play into behind.
