Ok, here's our run for the rest of the calendar year...
Villa (H) - Destiny back, Biss-pended
CIty (A) - Biss back
West Ham (H) - Cuti back
Newcastle (H)
Forest (A) - Richy pain-free and back, maybe?
Everton (H)
Brighton (A)
Bournemouth (H)
Even with Cuti back, Davies/DIer aren't up to the task to start alongside him. They played well today but then they didn't and we conceded twice. Ange said he was playing all the ready centre backs he had so apparently doesn't think Phillips is there yet but he needs to be, frankly.
As for further forward, I have no idea. Bentancur needs to be starting as soon as he's up to it after the break and all we can do is hope that Maddison is back for AFCON and the Asian Cup (United away, January 14th), when we'll lose Pape, Biss and Sonny for at least 2 weeks (the duration of the group stages).
It's easy to be downbeat after the wonderful start we've had but at the moment I'm feeling like the next couple of months are going to be absolutely miserable.
