Gravenberch 4 yellows, Agreed is a serious concern.
Konate 4 yellows, Unlikely to get back before our 19th EPL game.
Nunez 4 yellows, Not in the best form of his ( or anyone elses ) career and we have plenty of options up front.
Thought his last 10-15 mins were excellent attacking wise. Has some work to do defensively and toughen up a bit. But promising.
Can't imagine that Mo will be worrying too much about any shite underfoot in an area of the pitch that he usually occupies. 🤣🤣
He's injured anyway !
Which is messed up if there is interactions with cup fixtures.
Yes, actually. Not many touches, but looked classier on the ball than Nunez.
I've been wondering for a while if he should surpass Nunez in the line up. Hopefully he gets a chance. How was Nyoni?
Slot on Chiesa:
"It's good to see that he's back and that he had a few good moments in the game."
"I saw some really good moments and I saw some moments where I felt like, ‘OK, you can do better than this.’ For me, that's completely normal if a player has been out for so long and plays his first game in five or six months."
I love watching Danns and he has a very bright future (hopefully at a very high standard that enables him to stay with us) however there's no chance in hell he'll surpass Nunez (which would substantially lower his value). Danns is at least a season away from breaking into the first team squad, Nunez will be gone by the time he does.
Those easily satisfied though he was good. Personally I thought this a night and day performance compared to his U21 games. He was tidy on the ball and with his passing but hardly played a forward pass all night, just retaining possession. He was caught on the ball badly once which instigated a dangerous Southampton attack.
There were none of the attacking runs or adventure or passing that we've come to associate with him when playing for the U21s - maybe Slot's mantra of retaining possession affected him too much. I was disappointed.
I definitely under-rated Endo's performance last night. I thought he was bypassed too easily at times, maybe not in retrospect.
@King Binny - video's been taken down mate.
I bet he looks closer to premier league standard than she does.
great description, that’s exactly how i thought he looked walking down the stairs in last weeks training video.
he could just be one of those people that moves strangely with a hint of caveman
I surprised Endo went under the radar for some. He was doing everything for a large swathe of the game, and was the glue holding a ragbag of a team together. Great to see the Boy getting time on the pitch again too and showing his quality.
Big clap on the back for Slot who gave zero fucks in this game and just about got away with it. His priorities are bang on.

Heard the fat baldy was too lazy to even make it to the dugout. Sat himself in the stands the whole game, probably didn't rant to get his hair wet.
