Where's the bloke we signed to cover at left back? Can't even remember his name.

Jaysus, he was only called up to the France squad yesterday, wasn't he?
FFS - what did he do, jump for joy and do his ankle in when he landed

Perhaps it's a Gallic fuck you, for not selecting him in the first place.

What, the guy that Gerrard didn't give a run-out to away at Bolton??!
Nothing like preparing players for their potential introduction to the first team.

Unlike Taylor, I think this is down to the system. Both Cash and Digne are skillful for fullbacks, but not skillful enough to play as wingers when we are attacking, which is what they are being asked to do. They can't take on teams by themselves, and don't have enough overlap opportunities in our setup.
I think this is one of the many flaws with the 'tactics'. The fullbacks should be a link in the chain to get it to the attackers, not the final destination. I can't imagine having Grealish drop back to provide cover for Targett to constantly get forward.

That’s what Gerrard would have him doing.

Maybe ... I actually can't remember! But I did think it weird at the time that he wasn't getting a game.

stress fracture of the ankle apparently. 4-8 weeks then I'd guess?

At least we have a specialised player for that position rather than having to put someone out of position there

FFS! It's never just a slight muscle pull with us is it? I would guess 4-8 weeks might be OK for normal people who might then just be sat at a desk all day, but for a professional footballer to then be playing on it must make it at least 8 weeks, surely? And then time to get properly match fit again.

It's just long enough that he'll probably be getting fit just in time for the world cup break.
