Just having him on the pitch will give the other players a mental lift. We've been short of a leader. Could make all the difference.

The three of them are our heart, our brain and our backbone…

It would be like watching the Wizard of Oz without the Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow.

Of all the players we miss the most, it has to be McGinn and Kamara. To lose them both and Tielemans, is as proved catastrophic!

Welcome back skipper.

I think you could make a case for any of them being our most important player.

Yep, you’re probably right. We have (when fit) the best midfield in Europe.

My Chelsea colleague says they do. We asked a neutral. He said Everton *shrug*

It really depends who you count as the midfield but, as a unit:

Kamara Onana
McGinn Tielemans Rogers

is as good a midfield as any in the world, when that was our regular starting group for a few months we were the in-form team in Europe despite Ollie being out of form.

I think McGinn and Kamara are the two biggest losses.  Kamara because he is amazing.

McGinn just brings so much you can play him in any roll and he’ll give a good perfomance - his tenacity and guile has been much missed particularly when we’re up against it
