Am I seeing a familiar pattern emerging or tilting at windmills? ..

Right. Just long enough will do.

I'm sure we do have enough money, although apparently not enough to make anyone set up the striker

We need the German lad back. It isnt the same without him

Rice tried to be fair. Our ?poacher? just failed to read it.

Hmmm. We are a two man team (Gabriel & Saliba) imo

Well, we rely on our first choice central defensive partnership, yes. Just like any other team.

Would be quite odd to suggest that Timber, Raya, Rice, Saka, Odegaard etc were all merely side characters....

I do think we will come to view this game as significant. Not the end, not even the beginning of the end. But the end of the beginning.

Title race starts here. And we are limping.....
