These players should have been shown the door & replacements sought. The lad Guei at palace should be bought asap & possibly another CB what a complete mess of our own making.

Totally agree stones is gone he will never have a run in the team, and needs to be shown the door along with Ake both great players a few yrs ago but past their best.
Guehi is a good shout and recall Reiss

This is my biggest criticism of Pep. He wants a small squad, and if that's who he feels he can manage, okay. But you want to run 16-18 senior players, you can't have a sicknote among them. And we have 2, possibly 3. We went out and bought Reis & Bah to give us depth only to loan them out, loan out Akanji as well for good measure and barely play Khusanov to embed him in this side. Now we've lost Dias and Gvardiol and our response was to recall Max Alleyne?
Injuries to Savio and Bobb? Well thank god we have Nypan and Echeverri...wait, what?
But sure, let's buy Semenyo, buy Guehi and paper over the cracks of what is a clearly broken practice that needs addressing. Pep needs himself a dwarf.

Stones, Ake, Bobb, Kovacic, Phillips - well known sicknotes
Add to those: Rodders, Khus and Ait Nouri who seem to be not fully fit.
So we are left with Gvardiol (out now), Dias, Gigi, Trafford, Nunes, Lewis, Nico O, Nico G (out now), Bernie, Sav, Doku, Reindeer, Foden, Cherki, Haaland, Marmoush (not available) and a bunch of not used teens. All of them for a FOUR trophy run.
Absolutely insane and deluded and a terrible club management in allowing Pepito to do this.

Among all the doom and gloom of the last 24 hours, a little bit of good news at last.
Thank the heavens.

He’ll go and sign a pay as you play contract with a Leeds or Brighton and never miss another game

Shame for the lad that he got that bad injury, just when he looked to be pushing to be a first team starter. He has not looked anything like the pre-injury Bobb that was fearless and dangerous.
I hope the lad does well, but £35m + a sell on clause is great business if we get that
