Incredibly suspect in a number of areas despite getting in some players who could hold their own and given injuries to players are getting more game time than otherwise would be especially Ake albeit he was missing tonight through injury.Very useful player to bring on and close a game out like last Saturday. Big loss if he’s out for a few months as we’re hardly stacked in central midfield.
Why we didn't get another striker and a DM and left back at the start of this season I don't know maybe the club thinks what we have can see us through this season but with Covid , a compressed season , a shortened off season and unlikely to get past one week of games without more injuries Pep will be forced to play young players that wouldn't get game time if we had the full quota of 25 players.
Jesus, Ake, KDB , Laporte , Kun , Zinckenko , Stones , Gundy and Cancelo have all been unavailable for games this year and now Ferny and we are only 4 games into the season.
