Current Players Thread
Some good points made above, lets hope he starts to show more than the occasional glimpse of the talent he undoubtedly has.

At the end of the day its better than discussing Luke Freeman isn’t it?

So moving on, midfield options.

Sangare off possibly missing 6 league games plus the cup game. Unlikely Yates is back in that period either.

Leaves us with Anderson, Dominguez and Douglas who realistically cant pay more than 60 mins in any game.

Options.
1. Manage with those 3 and hope for the best.
2. Zinchenko as midfield option
3. Play MGW deeper as an 8 and McAtee ahead

Which do we do? Any other ideas?

Other option would be Hutchinson in the 10 with MGW as a traditional midfield player with Bakwa/Ndoye on the right.

Bad timing for Yates to get injured, do we know how long he is likely out for.

I think we will attempt to get by playing the three above. Perhaps for the Everton game we could mix it up and have MGW deeper? I mean we struggled against them anyway last time so might make sense to make some changes anyway.

Do we know how far away Dominguez is from playing?

Yates should be back early Jan.

So will miss Fulham, Man City, Everton and Villa.

Depending on Dominquez id give McAtee a go and drop Morgan further back. 2 chances from the start with the main players at the main level.

Let's throw him in.

Sangare in the EAFC Team of the Week. Thoroughly deserved too.
