    How has Nkunku looked in pre-season?

    Also, is the Nkunku appeal due to him being classed as a Midfielder when in reality he's a striker?

      You’ve got to hope you don’t get any early injuries because you have very little bench to speak of. Barco potentially time limited, Harwood Bellis playing for the future whipping boys who’s manager said they wouldn’t sit back and Jebbison could well be second to Semenyo.

          Feel it might be a bit too soon for them. We weren't too bad defensively at the weekend, so Ten Hag might not feel the need to rush them in without a full week of training at least.

            Yes we weren't too bad defensively, but I think ETH also saw what most of us saw. Which was Evans at times struggling to play out from the back, specially under pressure and Licha not being the best at LB.

              Should still be enough to get past Fulham at home really. Just a bit concerned about their injury records (Mazraoui especially) so just hoping they're not getting chucked in without being fully fit.
