Looks like we are going to be playing catch up with Liverpool for a while now. Clearly nothing is decided in September but it's a fact that with the departure of Kompany and now the loss of Laporte for months we are weaker than last season. It's hard to judge Cancelo on his two minutes of playing time, though.
The loss of Vinny is equally about the loss of boot-room team talks as it is / was his presence on the field.
Can anybody fill his boots on and off the pitch?
Someone said bringing in Pierce, yet we let Vieira go and i think we need that kind of tactical nuance.
