Lo Celso injured again

Sell Lo Celso in the summer, he’s just not quite hitting it and had plenty of opportunities but is always injured or not quite good enough (bar a couple of games)

Ange on Porro:

"He's a good footballer. Most coaches will tell you that they want good footballers. I didn't see anything there [that was an issue], a lot of people have always said that, especially with the way I get my full-backs to play, that I haven't been at a club yet where the full-backs haven't adapted, whether that was at Celtic, or at Yokohama since I've been going down this road.

Very few have struggled with it. I think it's just probably the uniqueness of what they do that takes people aback a little bit, but in terms of the functionality of it, we try to make it as simple for the guys in that position. Then the quality we have both with Pedro and Destiny, they take it to another level altogether, because it's one thing for me to tell them to move into the areas we want them to move into but then they need to show that quality and they've got it in abundance.

I was never concerned about Pedro. I thought that with him and Emerson we were well covered on the right-hand side. Most of the teams I've had, whether it was at Celtic where Greg Taylor was very influential, Anthony Ralston, Alistair Johnston and when I was at Yokohama, Ken Matsubara. I could go on, they were all very influential and it's part of the way we play, and they all hugged me after a goal."

Ange is a journo's dream. He loves it.

Understand Gio Lo Celso's injury is a minor muscular problem and should keep him out of just one game

That’s exactly what I thought

Congrats on getting hang of bold texting

Think this will be business as usual - Ange ball to rule, and goal or 2 from Perdo could on the card

GLC does this every time. Gets a chance of a run of games and always pulls up injured at some point, then back to squad 1.

If as reported Barcelona come in with a offer of £30m +, I think we should snap it up

"When we had all the guys fit at the start of the year, the level of our training was a lot higher, we could be a lot more intense with what we do. It’s a bit different now."

Is he saying that the non-first teamers are lazy? Surely you can still train with intensity if a few players are out injured?

he's saying you have to manage fitness more now the squad is thinner because you can't rotate and make as many subs, so training has had to be a bit lighter

In the summer not January

"Romero makes a big difference to that but I thought Ben Davies was outstanding, he's getting a run of games but we've got to be mindful he's not a centre back."
*******************
Romero is the best Center back in the world - Lionel Messi.
Ben Davies has been playing very well for 3 games now.
And BTW, he plays CB for Wales, and its his best position.

He plays left in a three though, as far as I know he's very rarely played as part of a 2 at the back.

Ali G just released some more quotes from Ange 😂
