Our left side was picked off easily with Cress in the team. It’ll be even easier now. Our middle is massively weakened and we have no bulldozer up front as a focal point.

This was always gonna happen to a paper thin squad and we’re just lucky it never happened sooner. Only thing going for us is that Chelsea got a shit ton of games coming up. Watch Wiener do what he’s forgotten how to do and nick a goal or 3

Fredericks is back and in squad probably at the bench.

Squad revised after today physio report.

Fabianski

Coufal
Diop
Ogbonna
Johnson

Noble
Soucek

Benrahma
Lingard
Fornals

Bowen

Benrahma need to step up and be counted if he want to be as good as Lingard.

The other thing going for us,was all the teams below us drew at the weekend and we are still 4th. Hopeflly the uncertainty of super league membership will have a nice caustic disruption within their ranks.

2-0

Never mind being as good as Lingard, Benrahma has to prove he's good enough to get a starting place first. Can't see him having any impact but if he does get a start it will be a good time for him to start showing Moyes some reasons for including him in the starting line up.
