Happy New Year Si! Yes I get the frustrations with Potter - he should be giving the young players some real game time.

In his defence he is lumbered with one of the worst midfields I can remember. Pep would struggle with that dross!

Also a word on injuries. I was running through the list of players - Reece, Chilly, Kante, Fofana - seem to be permanently or semi-permanently unavailable. Kova has to be managed. Even Broja is out for the season.

Add to this physically weak players - Pulisic, Ziyech and Jorgi.

New ownership must examine physical records of new signings because we seem to be repeating mistake after mistake. Enzo would be a great start but if I am honest I am amazed he would consider joining Chelsea at the moment!

HNY mate! Yeah for sure, great points made. I am just sick of relying on the same 'experienced' players who have been collectively poor for seasons now, rather than showing some guts and investing in one of two of the very good young players we have, who nobody can convince me would do any worse than the players on show right now.
