Was obvious if you watched him he basically played hurt in the Chav game to help mitigate Davis and Royal but it badly back fired, and Ange should have seen it. Udogie is just like Walker he's a 99% physical percentile player. But them guys are so used to bossing their oponent they are lousy if they are off it, they make zero allowance for "I can run this one," "I'll get there first..because its me" "This dude can't brush me off"..."Oh! FU**k!" They are liabilities unless they are genuinely match fit. Kyle Walker took years for the penny to drop ( an even more monstrous physical specimen) he always backed himself ball watched thinking I'll still beat him. I hope Destiny learns quicker, and Ange don't buy into he's so strong it don't matter if he's a bit below himself. In the EPL you get found out.
So two hamstring injuries in our defenders so far then. Got to think the way we play is having a big effect on our players hamstrings. A lot of sprinting.
Celtic fans did warn us.
I suspect that's an inevitable part of 'playing a high line' .... and we seem to have been playing a higher line than pretty much anyone else.
Villa will be a test to that theory,playing in 20m in the middle until a through ball
If we really had that much clout, I doubt we'd have let Bentancur join up with Uruguay to be honest.
Slight difference in that Bentacur needs to get minutes into his legs.If we really had that much clout, I doubt we'd have let Bentancur join up with Uruguay to be honest.
We're probably hoping/have an agreement with them that he only plays a max of 45 minutes.
Or Uruguay insisted that he turns up, as is there right.
Pure guess work on my part.
We really don't stand in players ways for international games, it's probably a draw for players joining us. We are the biggest club you can join in the PL and support you to join the national team.
Udogie should see that in the future if he's genuinely upset.
Then again maybe too late for Italy to qualify (outside of league playoffs)

I think that Benta is more allowance for getting minutes, whilst Destiny is a worry to aggravate his injury further.If we really had that much clout, I doubt we'd have let Bentancur join up with Uruguay to be honest.
Thought he was incredible and back to his best in the first half but what a total disaster pass back that completely ruined the rest of the performance.
Hope he learns from it because he’s a massive talent.

Gem of a player and will get better , fantastic under radar signing by Paratici
Vital in that all important "left-back, inside-left, central-midfield, anywhere-you-fancy-Destiny" position
