Re Kral...that's because Noble playing in the cups and a handful of league games has enabled Rice and Soucek to get that much needed rest. But as weve said all season one injury to Tomas or Rice and were in trouble, that's still the case now and will be worse if Kral cant step up, everything so far leads you to beleive that he won't, but let's see what happens in the next 5 months.Bubbles Fortuna wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 7:19 pm By your own admission Kral has played so little he may as well not be here so we've been playing with three central midfielders. Add in Lanzini and we're covered.
Our squad wouldn't be meaningfully smaller, Fredericks never plays and is replaced by Johnson, Martin is lit we really meaningless, Noble's place taken by an integrated Kral and Yarmolenko replaced by Lingard, plus another striker. In what way is our squad smaller?
Masuaku isn't a total liability, CB is a bigger priority, hence the Zouma signing and hence us chasing CBs still and not any Left Backs.
"Masuaku isnt a liability at left back"...have you watched any of the games that he's played there :lol: come on your arguing for the sake of it now.
What you're proposing is less squad numbers then we have now in a potential 55+ game season. I really shouldn't have to explain to you why this is a bad idea
