Ok, I know you know but I will repeat because I'm actually enjoying this.
1. New league, about to find his feet next to Fab and Hendo but gets butchered in the same game as VvD gets butchered.
2. By the time he returns we're playing the worst CBs in the PL thanks to Gomez and Matip's wet wafer bodies.
3. Fab leaves his position next to Thiago to cover CB. Also gets injured.
4. Hendo... Where the hell is he?
5. Finally Fab returns to normal position and Thiago starts looking class again. Was best player against Utd's rested XI for example.
Would love to have seen how good prime Messi would have been as our DM in front of Rhys and Nat.
