Jesus wept. What timing. Thankfully I don’t think he’s as vital in Gracia system as he was under Marsch. But it’s still a blow. We’re cursed with major injuries every year

Good job we signed mckennie or we would be in huge trouble

Mckennie has an illness too, apparently

Can you imagine… good lord.

It shows how absolutely vital having squad depth is just to stay in the Prem

Rumoured to be flu like symptoms which he had before the game but played through it.
Arsenal could be without 4 first team players for Saturday.
I`m not too worried about Saturday but Tuesday is the big one and need our best team out there.

As expected, Adams, Gnonto and Wöber all out of the Arsenal game. Gnonto and Wöber could be out for a couple of weeks after that too. Wonderful.

Lets hope Gracia playing game of cloak and dagger with Forrest and Palace to come next week. He never gives much away.

Next season we must must increase the squad size. To only have one experienced DM in the first team is not good. You have Mckennie, Roca, Adams then it's just kids with no experience in the top flight. The gap is far too big. (forget Forshaw he's finished)

Agree as imo we only have 3 top performers Adams, Wober and Gnonto and all 3 are missing.
We are back to relying on Cooper who has proved to be very up or down in his performances.
The likes of Bamford in particular and Harrison really need to step up now.
Fingers crossed Rodrigo and Sini are fit to play Forrest and Palace and at least Wober makes it otherwise these injuries could define our season.
Such a shame we didn`t take a leaf out of St Helens book and say our players were injured and could not make the Internationals

Decent first half until Ayling goes to ground and gives away a soft penalty.
Harrison in no mans land to let White score and Ayling again half asleep for their other goal.
Plenty of endeavour from Ayling but he`s not really PL quality.
Harrison the game just passes him by and as for Bamford it`s a waste of a jersey.
Someone like Perkins would be a better choice.
Thought Gyabi might have got a run today ahead of the next 2 games.
Second half we looked Championship standard against Arsenal who played in second gear.
Must get 6 from our next 2 or we go down imo.

didn't play badly at all, especially first half. stupid penalty changed the game but nal were simply to good. Next 6 games are crucial, all winnable. 12 points and nearly safe. the manager has been excellent. tactically top notch

Bamford getting stick for a 10min cameo? Strange

Agree Tad. Not bad at all today considering injuries. Nothing more to see and move on.

2 huge games at home coming up with Forrest and Palace. Really could do with Gnonto and Wober fit for both. Leicester and Wolves now well in the relegation battle. Bournemouth keep pulling rabbits out of the hat. 6 points from next two would be huge
