The biggest problem is losing GX. The ability to play Dec there while Jorgy or Partey as DM is a major advantage compared to last season for tough games.

ESR's injury is gutting, Fab's looked good there, and would be great against these park the bus teams. But Gabby M isn't able to have the link-ups that the Saka-Ødin-Benjamin give us.

Timber's injury is a bügger - I think MA has hoping he'd give us the best of Zinny and Tommy at LB.

Kai's actually been doing all right in the MF side of things - winning duels etc. But we really want the no.10 creativity he showed in Germany and the ability to score.

That goal at the weekend shows why we signed him - if Saka can cut inside, he's got a big target at the far post. Hopefully he'll kick on now he's scored a last minute winner. Another goal and an assist or two in a win next game would be heaven, so here's praying to Ganpati.
Do we know what the latest on Timber is? Seem to recall at the time it was an ACL but not a bad ACL and he might return early in the new year?

Or maybe I was dreaming it all
