Well it’s probably cost us 2 points.

Or gained us one.

Do you think the Mings injury will mean we bring forward some summer cash to buy proper first teamer?

All links to date feel like we are making do rather than pushing to improve.

With so many financial restrictions facing most of the overpaying PL, I expect the only way to get better players is to loan with an obligation to buy in the summer.

It would quite a stretch to say we gained a point as a result of selling our back-up centre back (who was needed today) without a replacement.

C'mon, it's pretty obvious it's a joke.

Do you think a CB coming in from outside and playing on the wrong side of the pitch then they are used to would have helped defensively?

Versus how Digne played? Almost certainly.

It would have worked better than putting a LB who was completely hopeless there

Unai Emery on Juan Foyth: “We are analysing different players. Of course, I know Juan Foyth because I know him and one player with his quality, he can play with the performance we want to add to the squad.

Foyth isn’t really a centre back is he? And has had a rough couple of years with injury?

How?

I’m far from convinced DC would’ve come on and restored order and balance.

On paper, a draw when we needed to win to start motoring again is poor.

But throw an unpredictable element like Diego Carlos into that this afternoon and a draw could’ve been a 1-4 reversal.

Played as a centre back in his early years. Think that's how Spurs tried using him until Villareal under Mister.
