It’ll look like a decent point in retrospect, but I’m not sure how anyone putting out a midfield of Gundo, Kova & Rico against Joelinton, Tonali and Guimares could expect even a point.
Top of the table after 5 will quickly become Top 4 in a few hours, which, considering the last 2 games, is an indictment on the rest of the League.
Tbf, without KDB, Rodri & Foden still on the bench (a world class midfield!), we have to realize that games against the Top 6 are going to be tough.
We have an expensive, well-constructed first team squad. It’s time for it to prove its mettle.
Newsflash: We need a big strong midfielder who can go both ways, scores 5-10 goals a season, isn’t a sick note and isn’t a minutes bother…and at £100M, he’d be worth it!
