We were out of wingers, then strikers, then LCHs then RCHs then RBs and now MFs. There's only Daveeed and Kepa left to get injured at the same point.

As an aside, Triphop was looking good before the injury and Hinchappy has been looking great at LCH. Really wins those aerial duels around the half-way line and starts attacks.

Oh, and Vik looked useful yesterday. Couple of headers that were decent attempts and his link up play around the box won the corner for the first goal. Would be great to see Kai come back at his very best and then have Vik as an option, with Kai coming on for Zubi and playing inside left with Dec at DM, or coming on for a FB and playing 3 at the back and 2 up top.
I also thought Gyokeres looked better. I really don't get the hate directed towards him. He is a very different striker than we are used to, but that is precisely why we bought him. He needs to adjust to the PL and we need to adjust to him.

Not sure how anyone can write him off after 19 league games.

And we pasted a very good Villa team without Rice and effectively without Saka given how bad he was. Quite the performance.
