      We need to play two no. 6s defending our defense. They will need to be protected. Fabinho is close?

      Who knows with the sh*t Dejan comes out with 🤣

      Probably still thinking he's the best centre half in the business.

      Play to our strengths and simply try to out score the opposition, after all we are the champions !

      I agree, its our only strategy now, make the defence as compact and solid as possible with plenty of protection from DM, then attack attack attack, as long as we can outscore the opponent we win, its the tactic that nearly worked for the Geordies in the 90's.

      Talk of bringing in Janmaat on a short term contract - decent player

      But you're right, we need to fight on.

      He's ok, but I think he can cover CB as well so has good versatility.

      Milan Skriniar or David Alaba would be top additions if we can get one of them in January.

      Don't think we'll look at Upamecano until the Summer.

      Clubs will be rubbing their hands with predicament we are in charging extortionate  fees for their players which is a worry no doubt about at it though need one possibly two bearing in mind Matips frailties

      That's the least of my worries; not a chance Edwards will have his pants pulled down over a deal.
      If Fab is back soon and he can play once a week with Matip/Williams/Phillips we may just be able to get through to Jan.

      Fortunately defending seems to have gone out of the window for most teams this season so all the injuries may not be as catastrophic as if they'd happened all at the same time in previous seasons.

      I'd rather go after one that's commanding in the air. Read a stat that Skriniar loses more than 50% of his aerial duels and Alaba's isn't the tallest either.
