Walker did look rusty but he's definitely needed for Sunday and rightly or wrongly, being captain makes it likely he'll play tomorrow too.Walker Stones gundo look still a bit off it to me it showed on Saturday they need easing back in and watford is the ideal game plus a few mins off the bench in other games. Add foden to that 3 and it would be a massive risk to play all 4 2moro night.
Stones I agree again but we have 6 defenders and one is injured, there's no room for easing him back, neither akanji nor dias had any pre-season, they were just thrown straight in and haven't stopped since, dias got a break last weekend, Its time for akanji to get one ahead of the weekend.
Gundo has always been suited to slower European football, I don't see him coming in as a risk at all.
Foden I will accept is the stretch and it's probably more likely he doesnt start than does. Nobody knows how fit he is but he's always been somebody you can throw straight in and he'll be on it and I don't think we can be playing kdb 3 games in a week at his age.
