Hahaha fuck, he's going to get injured for another 2 months.
Argentina ahead of the curve on both. Our best XI will end up having Foyth at RB and Lo Celso in place of Eriksen by the end of the season.
I just hope it doesn't take Poch too much longer to throw them in.
he needs to be unleashed, otherwise he will lose any kind of enthusiasm for playing for us.
Hope Poch has had a conversation to say that Lo Celso has only been fit enough to play for s few minutes in one match since coming back injured from the last international break..
I'd be tempted to suggest Poch pulls him completely, so that Lo Celso has a longer redt.
I think with both GLC and Foyth, we know exactly what will happen in regards to international fixtures and league matches.
I don't blame them for wanting to play for the national team. They are footballers who don't play.
Sadly true.
But if I had only been fit enough to come off the bench for 20 minutes I'd hope they feel a bit guilty in going off to play 90 minutes I one of both internstionals
Why should they feel guilty when it's Poch not selecting them even though they are fit.
I am just wondering if Poch is even aware that GLC is on loan from Betis ? 
I mean, maybe crowd should chant it in Everton game, to make him aware. Otherwise "he will be integrated over course of a season" and by May he has played like 400 minutes and demands to go back to Betis, for not getting chance to play

Except it's not really a loan deal... it was structured that way to screw over PSG.....
Wouldn't really want to play 2 fully attacking minded players as CM pairing.
Agree he should start, but I suspect he won’t be on until panic sets in at 2-0 on 85 minutes.
Ndombele can sit
Make it 86 minutes, 85 is Moura's cue to make an appearance remember
I would love to see a stat of Poch's substitutions for last season and this and see how many have been made before the 70th minute not due to an injury. Also when did he last make one at half time, again not because of an injury. 
My inference obviously, is that I believe he leaves it far too late for a substitute to have any real influence on the game. I also tend to question his choice of who leaves and who comes on. It does seem to be somewhat of a recurring pattern during our matches, particularly when losing.

We have to buy him if we qualify for CL or EL. We have an option to buy him regardless.
He's not going back to Betis.
If Poch isn't going to play Lo Celso it makes no difference whether he's injured playing for Argentina, in fact it gives Poch more of an excuse to leave him out of the team. Seems as though he's determined to limit the time our newcomers have on the pitch in case they improve our game and we start to pick up points.
On the bench
