Good observations. Point 2 was really highlighted tonight. I feel like a huge priority in the summer would be signing a right cb that has similar abilities to pass the ball out and beat the press. Having Licha in the team we gives us a base...
Every game is a risk. Martinez is a professional, he can make his own decisions for his career. Coufal falling on his leg was the injury, lightly running on that knee for a couple of minutes isn't the issue here.
He's not getting more injured playing that extra minute or two. If it's an ACL it's going to need surgery regardless. Rushing people back too quickly is a problem but this has nothing yo do with that, it was a freak accident.
All this talk about about being 21... By my calculations Harry kane had 21 senior goals before the age of 21 and Hojlund 36. So why don't we give our players their due aye? He's improving with every game.
For what it's worth I reckon whoever it is that takes the DOF role is currently in a job. Mitchell's name gets thrown around a lot but if he was their first choice they would have got him by now.
Makes a nice change from the "should have scored 5 in the first half to put the game to bed". Don't really remember a chance West Ham had that should have been a goal, Onana made 2 good saves but saves a keeper at this level should be making. Easy.
