Will probably have to miss this as I have my nephew's christening tomorrow, but will try to keep up with what's going on.

Absolutely crucial 3 points here as we have Betis and Juve up next before the NT brake. We're not going to get anything out of the Juve game, so ensuring all 3 points here will keep us on track even if we lose against Juve.

He went off with an injury pretty early on. Didn't look like anything caused it - sometimes those are the worst so hopefully, he is alright. What a game, I was furious when they botched that fk in the last 5 mins but what a way to win it. Romagnoli is a WC defender and a great captain what a game. We needed the 3 points there.

Samu and Suso were both being selfish tonight, I don't know why. They were in a lot of spots where they could have played in a teammate for a great opportunity and opted to take a shot instead. Getting them to click would be huge.

Baka and Kessie were both immense today as well. Baka slowly growing on me, he might come good if he starts to build up his confidence.

Castielljo is mediocre. Should have never signed him.

I think he's useful, Suso wasn't all that when we signed him either but look at him now, 8 assists so far this season + 4 goals. It takes time, but he has talent it's just a matter of nurturing it

Also, having someone who can stand in for Suso is hugely important as was shown last season when we ran him into the ground and had zero options instead of him when he was injured.

Bona, Higuain, Hakan, Biglia all injured is a major problem. That's basically all our creative players on the treatment table with Suso being the last man standing.


Higuain is apparently not serious and will play against Juve but this is getting really worrying now, another injury and we'll start slipping down the table again

I knew Suso was going to be good the first moment I saw him play. If you go scavange my posts from 3-4 years you’ll see. Talent is very easy to notice, and Castillejo doesn’t have much IMO. He’s a decent, versatile player to have as sub, but nothing more.

I’m hopeful we can recover Hakan and Higuain for the Juve game.
