Fuck.
But I never expected to be available, if he wasn’t fit enough for our biggest game in nearly 17 years Wednesday night it was always unlikely he’d be fit 2.5 days later.
Wasn’t wheatley working for Forest earlier in the year?
Jorginho is more than capable. Not worried
Play Zinchenko with Jorginho and put Tierney LB
It’s a blow because so far Partey has only missed 4 games and 2 of them are our 3-1 defeats to United and City.
The other 2 were narrow home wins vs Villa and Fulham.
Jorginho was good the other night, it’s a lot better than having Lokonga but he isn’t Thomas Partey…
Partey wouldn’t have made a blind bit of difference to the result on Wed, Oz, let’s be honest
Hard to know, as he’s so elite at playing out from a press which we really lacked in the first 25 minutes of the 2nd half Wednesday night.
In saying that we seemed into it n continually shooting ourselves in the footy with constant errors from Tomiyasu, Gabriel and Zinchenko so you’re probably right.
All in all though the sooner he’s back the better, in our 4 most important players with Saka, Jesus and then probably Odegaard.
Going to this one now, just got an away ticket
Hopefully Villa bless us with using the same backline as last week. If they do, they’re fucked.
Mings still out according to LiveScore.
We want Mings to play. He’s shite.
Not under Emery he’s not. Would much rather Chambers there.
Let’s batter these brummy bastards. Shit on the Villa
Same team that did the same last season.
I’ll give you 2 guesses.
People need to stop crying about silly shit like this. The WC fucked up schedules for a few teams. Just accept we are in the process of bottling it and stop looking for excuses.
It’s ridiculous considering we don’t play play again until next Sat (same as Villa). Could have played Monday easily.
Just get on with it ffs. We had a full week off between Everton and Brentford.
