To be honest, we don’t know how we will fare if we loose a couple of key players. Early season form and the Southampton game aside
we haven’t that much to go on. We have quality at this level right through the team. Let’s not hit the panic button before we actually have a drama to contend with.
Scooby - how you can offer an opinion of Gruev, whether positive or negative based on the few mins he has played is to me unjustified. He is the natural squad replacement for Ampadu. He clearly isn’t better than Amps otherwise he would starting, but best to wait until we have seen him properly before writing him off.
Not sure bout that, we've got plenty to go on now.
We were in a state, barely 11 players and no subs, picking through the bones of inheritance.
He's laid his preferred style of play out for us all to see.
He took the game to the 2nd best team and won, and that whilst not having this best current 11.
He tried rotation and got unlucky, but we all saw how much it affected us.
He's moved players like Archie around, along with the front 4.
He's slowly integrated Kamara.
We got a lesson in how not to do things v Soton,
And perhaps the biggest indicator of how far we've come, was the all-round team effort and performance away at Leicester, where i thought at the time prior to k/o 'this is a proper barometer of where we're at.
