Just hope we can keep it up against Cardiff next week.

This is literally the one injury we can afford to have. I'd argue Fernandez actually strengthens this back three.

I wouldn’t disagree with that. Commentators going on about it being devastating made me laugh

Thats the problem, we play 'better' against teams like Chelsea and Utd and lose, then play utter s*** against the teams around us and still lose.

If we don't change tack entirely against Cardiff at home we're knackered. Ritchie has to get played higher up for a start.

I agree, they tend to put a lot more effort in on account they know if they don't, We'd get battered. The "effort" against Fulham was horrendous.

I know it's a horrible bench, but I'd be tempted to give Murphy a run just to get some quick fresh legs on.

We've done this to death, but he's had nowhere near a long enough run in the side to show this one way or the other. And that's more than you can say for Atsu.
