Sorry to be a pessimist but this doesn’t look good to me at all:
Thought Fab was absolutely abysmal today, but, the best I can say about it is, it really wasn't helped by the absence of Gini, Jones was playing the LCM controller role, still think it was a fuck up letting Gini go and then not replacing him with a similar player, Bissouma would have been the right player. For me Fab has his rushes of blood steams into things other players are already on leaving gaping holes and players free in space, and gets done not picking players up and ball watching long balls while players run off the back of him, he of all our midfielders needs that experienced player at LCM playing as the controller who positions himself well around him and plugs the gaps
