Very good!

Keep Doug, jettison Barkley.

Is that nu-haiku ?

He's getting a fair bit of flack considering he's clearly not as match fit as he could be. It seems to me the coaching staff are telling him to play the role down a bit until he's back up to speed, but who knows. Playing alongside Onana isn't helping him either, he's looked well off it these past few games.

Doug let the game pass him by a bit v Leeds but that's still better than Onana's no show! If Luiz form picks up then I'm not sure you get a better option to rotate/challenge with Tielemans. Hope he can do it.

He's playing too deep for me, especially compared to when he did his best work for us but again, that could well via instruction. We simply cannot afford for him to run himself into the ground and get injured as it stands.
