Totally agree but that will have to be a medium term thing, integrating a player into our complicated patterns of play isn't an overnight thing alas. It would be great to see Barco get some sub time within a month or so

Yes RDZ needs to find solutions, the one back-up plan up to now out wide Facundo hasn't worked often enough. Fati and Enciso are possibilities but realistically as Mike Small referred to above are more inside players. I think that leaves the other options converting Lamptey fully into a winger...

RDZ specifically highlighted the absence of Mitoma as a reason why we didn't beat Everton

I think you're being a bit contrary here - the run of injuries in one particular position, winger, doesn't happen every season

Sarmiento scored the winner for Ipswich the other day, but we were told in January not needed because our players would be back from injury soon
