Most of our depth Is clearly at CB isn't it. Why are people surprised to see us utilise rotation options not just in defence but throughout the team by packing them in too relieve a bit of fatigue?
1 natural RB, a natural LB who got ruled out the other day, a potential backup LB in Sessegnon in and out of fitness, a youth Lb in Cirkin wearing a protective boot, a knackered Winks, a nonchalant Tanguy, a crocked Sissoko, a sold Wanyama, a 19 year old Skipp who played 2 hours solid a couple of days before, Dele flat out minutes wise despite a lack of apparent form, Lucas and Bergwijn saying they feel close to getting injured, Lamela being able to only muster 20 minutes here, 30 minutes there and doing so with no training before games, Sonny and Kane ruled out for the foreseeable and then look our CBs.... so much depth that even in times of injury crisis we don't need Foyth to make the bench and are oblivious when he's actually out injured.
We need to be so careful and streetwise in how to manage the creative ones. It really pisses me off when supporters take cheap shots at our circumstances. Really sad that the club and its fans seem to be losing that bond.
Toby, Davinson, Japhet, Dier and Jan all seem fit and able....more depth twice over than any other area of our squad so please don't be surprised to see if we have apparently gone 'defensive' during such occasions, it's really tiresome trying to explain what people should know and see.
