Add Chelsea to the teams desperate for a striker. That seems to be half the bloody league after one, the bastards.

Danny Rose on loan wouldn't be a bad shout - never going to happen though with 2 "senior" left backs when we have more pressing issues

When's McGinn back?

I heard March, likely to be the latter part of the month I would imagine but it would be something of a boost, and may well be needed.

He's still on crutches which surprises me.

I saw a tweet this morning with him waving his crutch around last night. Jumping up and down too though so that's optimistic!
Mind you I was jumping up and down and I'm an old crock. No voice today either.

He’s a troublemaker so doubt Dean would touch him with a barge pole

Outspoken about having depression and being racially abused, are things I know about. But troublemaker?

I thought Targett and Grealish seemed to have a really good understanding last night (even if Targetts final ball was found wanting a couple of times).

Another left back not a priority for me. Definitely need another striker, and probably an upgrade on Trezeguet/El Ghazi

They've done well together I think, Targett is better than we've seen I reckon.

The three at the back formation seems to be suiting him better.  It means there's an extra body in there so that if he gets done for pace, the opposition player shouldn't be running into acres of space.  He's definitely better at the attacking side of the game than the defending, but doesn't have the pace to be a winger, so wing back is probably his best position.

Unless Engels is reinstated,I think another CB should be a priority.Playing Guilbert and Targett suits them and makes the team more compact but Konsa especially is  a liability.

Is Konsa your replacement for Wesley as scapegoat? He is a young player learning his way in the premier league.i personally dont think he has done badly since coming in.But as for Danny Drinkwater dont get me started😡

Konsa had a few iffy moments but was decent overall and scored at least half of our winning goal! I've seen enough ti suggest he has plenty of potential and is capable of getting better and better. Like a young Ugo. I would say Hause is most vulnerable of the three at the moment, but even then, he makes the odd vital tackle or interception.

Despite my reservations about five at the back, I'd be happy to stick with them with Engels in the squad and Chester as cover, too. A new centre-half should be way down the list of priorities.
