Thanks Aslef. Think it’s interesting that Neymar and Paqueta seemed to keep to one side of the pitch each. But Paqueta also definitely was much more involved way deeper than Neymar from that first half map so I think the two of them were playing different roles, even if Paqueta’s wasn’t exactly like Casemiro - who was everywhere!
I think that probably is what you’d like Paqueta’s positioning to be if he was in Soucek’s role as well.
So we could be going into the January window with Zouma and Aguerd crocked, Ogbonna unconvincing of being able to return to PL standard after last season's injury, want-away Dawson and current first choice right back Kehrer as our CB options 🤔🤔🤔
Aguerd going off on a stretcher, typical. I hope, but am not too optimistic, that it's not too serious.
He didn’t actually take the stretcher and walked off so hope that’s good. And at least it’l doesn’t seem to be the same injury as before.
Yeah, sorry, I typed as the stretcher was brought out to him, he did hobble off rather than need to use it. Something we could have really done without nonetheless; the previous games seem to have sharpened him up for the PL, and now he looks likely to have another period on the sidelines.
Nayef has made contact with us already and fingers crossed it’s not as bad as it looked. We saw he reached for his groin but he’s quite happy tonight (after Morocco’s World Cup round of 16 win over Spain) so hopefully he’ll have it assesses and have a scan in the morning and, fingers crossed, it’s not too bad."
