More grist for the mill that we haven’t played anyone yet and those we have, we’ve been lucky because of injuries or form or something of the opposition.
I kind of expect we won't see so much of Elliott in the 10, I think Jones has probably jumped ahead of Elliott. Elliott might see more time on the right wing if Salah needs a rest/gets injured, but he may have a hard time getting back into the side, especially if Chiesa is actually getting fit...
I think we'll see frequent occasions when we want to rest both Jones and Dom, which is where Harvey can be invaluable. and that's before we consider (aaaaarrrgggghhhh) potential injuries.
Gravenberch sholdn't play in either of those IMO... and one of Mac/Sboz should rest v the Everturds..
The CL and League Cup matches will be perfect for Endo to play in place of Grav. Jones/Szob/Mac will rotate with one another over the next few games. Let's hope city/arse draw this week and we can extend to double digits over both of them.
I would rest Sbozslai tomorrow and rest Gravenberch v Everton. He could play a bit for MacCallister if we get the thuing dusted by an hour.... The guy has played a lot of games recently.
Remember when I said I wanted 4 / 6 from The Cheats and Saudi? I lied - I want all 6. 3pts today please, by hook or by crook, Reds!
It surprised everyone when Jonesy was chosen over Elliott for England and reacted well in a confidence builder for him. He came good while poor Elliot got injured in a shitty tackle.
I liked what I saw in his brief cameo. I think he's a very good player and obviously his fitness has been an issue so we'll see. I love Jota but with him staying fit is also a thing ,Ibou too ,Ali too etc etc. But with Chiesa his fee was a snip and if he doesn't work out no big deal. Certainly worth the risk imo.
