The Egyptian King

Without Mo, we beat some sides whom we should have beaten. I can only say we lost 3-1 in the critical Arsenal game without Trent , Mo and a few players which led to them clawing points back on us. Apart from Chelsea in the league, I don't remember beating anyone we shouldn't have in that small run during Afcon. But regardless, if you are looking at his post Injured results then why would you ignore the pre-injury results last season? it's kind of nonsensical.

It's not about the injury, it's about the amount of games. I'm wondering if this might turn into a trend. A sudden downturn in performance levels in the latter stages of the season.

We are going to be without mo either way. The very difficult problem is how to replace him at the right time without him getting in the way of that. For me, a much more trivial problem is "how can we replace him?"

Mo often is better 1st half of season compared latter half historically.

He defo could and should play less but since we seldom invest now days until we really have to then what can we do? I don’t buy this argument, a top young player won’t join us because we have mo, virgil playing 50 games min. They would get their fair share especially with the new longer shite CL version. We could afford to rest mid season to freshen up. So we will like a decent motor, run them into the ground to get fair value while witj decent dealership service fees and all.

That's all the more confusing why we haven't used Chiesa more at the end of matches.

I get that Chiesa supposedly isn't ready for starting or even 60 mins. Fine. He's got to be ready for 15-20 mins.

Our fitness team is apparently good. So what are they doing with him?
