Phillips is out too.
 
I started to do a thread like this on Monday but it became far too depressing.

Against West Ham we could have a team of Vicario, Porro, Romero, Davies, Udogie, Bissouma, Sarr, GLC, Johnson, Son, Kulusevski. That should be good enough to beat them. Trouble is there are no options off the bench to change things effectively.

Until January we are going to have to battle through, suck it up and try and pick up some points. There are a lot of fixtures later in December that are winnable and we only have 2 PL matches in January, so we need to hope for a kind FA Cup draw.
 
One last dance?

I guarantee you one of our players will have a great start, at which point the West Ham players will kick the living fucking shit out of him until he goes off injured for 3 months too.
