You are right in fairness. I suppose we all want our best team available at all times to push us back up the table as a few wins will put us back on track for that European chance!
The injury situation hasn't improved whatsoever from last season and arguably worse? Also, it seems apart from Milner who's always injured and Welbz (regularly injured) most of the new arrivals having consistent injuries too! Makes me wonder if it's our training methods or even our recruitment...
The only thing he can blame is his players missing chances they created. More likely he'll blame the fact that it was decided by penalties which is so unfair as United's keeper was better than Raya so it was an unfair advantage🤣
