Morgan Rogers

[pauliewalnuts]

He looked like he was walking off ok. We sure its a hamstring ?

It looked like he was rubbing his hamstring as he walked off, so yes, probably.

Probably an ACL.

They're probably trying desperately to stitch his head back on right now.

RIP .

Looked a simple muscle pull so probably a couple of weeks but given it's May probably season ending.

The great news is he's come on so well in the last six weeks that he'll be a fantastic option for all next season will bring.

Him, Ramsey and Buendia all fully fit in August and that is excellent depth for the left hand midfield side. Surely we won't be signing Zaniolo?

Irrespective of those three being fit, surely we won’t sign Zaniolo?

Why did it take so long for Cash to come on for Rogers today?  We were down to 10 men during which time Brighton had an attack. You'd have been spitting feathers if they had scored in that time.

I assume a lot of it was working out how the were going to rejig an already rejigged team and then passing that on to the players 15 minutes into the game. It’s not as though it was a like for like replacement.

Honestly i think it was a bad sub. For me cash as a rw never works so why not havw given kellyman a go in his natural position? It was a perfect opportunity to see how he does

Cash was the one player who brought energy and drive.

Cash did ok when he came on. Wasn't quite sure what position he was meant to be playing though.

[Monty]

I thought Cash did pretty well individually. It's just an indictment of the injury situation that he was our best option.

Well, to be fair, I'd have brought on Tim and sent McGinn wide to provide a bit more stability but - in all seriousness - who the fuck am I.

[ChicagoLion]

The Cash sub did not help at all strategically.

[Risso]

I'd have put Cash at right back and maybe gone 3 at the back (in the middle) to give Torres a bit more licence to get forward and help out in midfield. Or brought Tim on to partner McGinn and free up Luiz a bit.

I actually thought we might do this from the start. The only area we have options in is at the back - why not use them to try and maximise our numbers in that middle-third bit we have such issues playing through? It's worked before.

[Risso]

Yes we're being overrun in the middle and I found it strange that Unai did nothing to rectify this. Bringing on Duran in a straight swap for Diaby was another strange one that did absolutely nothing to address the main issue we were having, ie lack of control in midfield.

[Monty]

Same thought crossed my mind - much as I like Duran, he doesn't exactly scream 'control' to me. The only explanation I could think of was that Emery had just given up on our regular style working properly, and decided to lean into the chaos thing. Which, in itself, would be a bit of a statement.
