‘He can be involved. That is very good news for us because being involved tomorrow and being in the squad, he can start to feel the competition, to feel the Premier League, and be with his team-mates for the first time after pre-season.
'Now we need to be calm and quiet because we don’t want to put all the pressure on him. Now he needs to evolve, know the Premier League, know the competition. But it’s a big motivation also for us, for his team-mates and for our fans to see a player who should be important for us in the squad for the first time of the season.’
'People need to know when you want to build in the way we want to build it is always circumstances. After Liverpool we go to West Ham. Watching the first half, I think if Enzo scores the penalty and it is 2-1 for us maybe in the second half it’s 4-1, 5-1 for us because we played really well. But remember at 1-1 in the first half, which player scored? Carney. That is another signing for us. That is a player that can be this playmaker we are talking about. He is out and never played again. He scored and was doing well."
"We have a lot of injury issues and it's like building a house and some of the stuff are not there but we need to keep believing. The roof? Not there yet. We have good people building the house, good architects."
Solid analogy, Poch

Nkunku will spend most of the game on the half way line whilst we repell the worst team in the league in our 18 yard box

I'd be more worried about our keeper

very annoying that this wasn't a month ago when there was some good feel factor left, now he's coming into what feels like a sinking ship.

Time for the kids to man up Nick
Hopefully he will develop a fruitful relationship with Palmer.

About time. A player I’m actually looking forward to seeing play for us.
Btw 1 player returns and 3 get injured ffs 😂

Considering how much we need him, to restore balance to the force I expect at least three long term injuries within the month (James doesn't count, a force onto himself lol).

Typing him into google images is hilarious. Tons of pics of him for Chelsea looking miserable as sin, top pic of him at Leipzig looking happy as Larry

Lavia is in 'partial full-training', week or 10 days away...Poch claims.

Something that wouldn't surprise at all is Poch deploying Maatsen at RB. Plays Maatsen at RW.
What's to stop him from moving Maatsen backwards at RB?
