Lots of still photos on Twitter this morning that really don't look very good at all.

I'm not surprised. It's just the way things have been.

If he's out long I'd much rather we use Tim (the player, not the poster) rather than dropping McGinn or Tielemans back there.

It's definitely not a position for Tielemans. He's got quality, but he looks to me like a 34 year old who was brilliant once, and is now slowing down and in the final year of his contract. Rather than the 26 year old he actually is.

Me too. A bit of Bazball arrogance/trust in the inexperienced players is needed rather than shuffling the whole pack.

If it's longer term I think McGinn is our best option in that role.  I thought it would be Tielemans, but McGinn is the only one I'd trust to play there now and he did a good job at the end of last season.

Now that Ramsey looks to be getting back to form we can just about cope with moving SJM.

Pure guess work, but the fact he walked off and the way he was moving looked MCL or ACL to me. Clearly I hope I’m way off the mark and it’s just a painful tweak, but if not hopefully it’s the former.

If he’s out for any extended period of time it’s a bit of a hammer blow to our hopes.

Bailey's becoming a key player and Ramsey looked like he's starting to find his form again. So I would use them with McGinn and Luiz in the middle. I thought Diaby looked better too, just lacking in end product.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul? McGinn taking ball off the back always worries me. That bum roll is far more dangerous in the opposition half. Id give Tim a go at Fulham and leave McGinn where he is.

Tielemans can't run or tackle so is a liability next to Luiz like he was at Bournemouth.

Got to give Tim the chance now, no point moving McGinn and Tielemans is useless in our own half.

Kamara's balance and control of the ball yesterday was a sight to behold. He still has frequent brain-farts in him but he is such a lovely footballer, especially considering he's meant to do more off-the-ball work than any of our other midfielders.

Agree, we won't ever know if he is good enough unless we give him a go in what appears to be his best position.

He could end up saving us a fortune.

Maybe we won't but hopefully the coaching staff can see in training whether he warrants a start over the likes of Ramsey or Tielemans.

If thats another ACL then we gotta start asming are they being pushed too much during training. You dont have three ACLs in one season. Its unheard of
