Fit squad means players need to step up

Postby Wonderwall » Mon Feb 06, 2017 10:26 am

So we only have Ilkay who is injured now. This means some players will need to make a big impression on the training ground to get considered for the squad.

Yesterday saw no room for otter, Sagna or kelechi in the squad. Nice problem to have, but there are going to be a few players who are unhappy. Sagna is out of contract at the end of the season but he has been good when called upon. It's a conundrum for Pep. I wonder if we will see them against Huddersfield?

Is Nolito injured? No room at the inn for him either.

Nolito hasn't done a lot wrong when he played. Would like to see him getting more time.

Not that I know of. So that's 4 first teamers that can't even get in the match day squad.

I know we are still in 3 comps so a healthy squad will help cope with that.

With age and injuries the defenders don't have much to worry about, but considering Silva, kdb and aguero are cornerstones and sane, Sterling and Jesus are killing it anyone else playing north of yaya needs to sweat a bit now.
Tracking back is overrated.

Don't get Navas on the bench ahead of Nolito. Aside from the fact that Nolito provides more of a goal threat there's their respective contracts to consider, why would you favour someone who's off in the summer when their contract expires over a new signing? Baffled!
