De Zerbi is spot on about us needing a couple more players. We do have injuries coming back but we are still light in some positions and who’s to say we won’t have loads more injuries in the second half of the season. I’d like the club to back De Zerbi but can’t see it happening unfortunately.
Bissouma, Mac Allister, Colwill and Gyokeres all seem to have good attitudes and left the club with no hard feelings. They would also all improve our squad.
It seems like we’ve had a lot of away games recently where we haven’t had a lot of shots on goal during the first half. You can see why we need attacking additions during January.
That was a very dominant performance and we deserved to win. Considering how many we had out and their massive budget, it was surprising that West Ham were playing for a draw for 90 minutes.
I remember a massive injury crisis around this time of the year when we beat Southampton 3-0 under Gus. I think he was forced to throw in Forster-Caskey, Cook and Hall.
We also had a lot of injuries the season after when we made the play offs under Garcia.
