First time starting a thread so go easy on me!
I think we can all agree last night was magnificent. For me though what was as pleasing as the result was the confirmation of the depth of squad we have assembled. As we enter what is always a hectic festive period we are faced with the prospect of being without:
Our talismanic top scorer
Our captain
Our record signing
One of our two outstanding centre halves and potential player of the season so far
Our best attacking wide man from last year (Izzy)
And yet I am totally relaxed about that and excited to see how the players who come in will do. I believe:
Andone can more that substitute for Murray and we still have Locadia who may get a bit more game time
Montoya is clearly an able deputy at right back
March has hit form and AK will be champing at the bit for a game, I actually thought he was playing really well until recently and has a good assist return
Balogun was due a run and looks class
See above the point about March/AK
Add to this Bernardo and Bissouma really looking like finds and this surely must be the best squad we have ever had the pleasure to watch.
Exciting times ahead.
