Let’s comment when we’ve played some top 6 teams (10 man Chelsea excluded).

I cannot emphasise enough that it's very early days and that we should take nothing for granted but to be 13.16% of the way through the League season and having won our only Champion's League game plus the likelihood of being top of the League after this round of fixtures, we're coping not-so-bad thus far without Gini.
Long, long way to go and the Elliott injury was a more-than-unfortunate thing, but if there's any silver lining to be had there, it may have opened a slight door for Ox and Jones.

Fingers crossed Thiago (Wijnaldum replacement 1) isn’t out for too long as it looks like Elliott (Wijnaldum replacement 2) will miss most of the season.
Hopefully Ox (Wijnaldum replacement 3) can stay fit if we need to call on him.
Hopefully
I'm really hoping Jones can step up a bit this season during such times that there are (unfortunate) losses due to injury. We know Milner can cover too and heck, if we were reeeeally desperate we might even fire Minamino in at some stage.
We certainly have the depth to cover knocks and niggles. The Elliott one however was admittedly a huge blow, but I think there's only a finite amount of planning that you can do for such a thing.

Agree, really gutted for Elliott.
Wijnaldum went missing far too often in games if you ask me. Much better options out there and I’m glad he’s not on our payroll anymore. Stealing a living playing for LFC 😝
Okay, so given that we're on a high and are roughly a quarter of the way through the League campaign, I thought an update was due.
This is just appearances (not broken down into which competition) and there will be plenty of opportunities throughout the season to double-check (in case an error has been made in tonight's quick tally-up with a bit of scrap paper) but as it stands, all comps -
Fabinho - 9 apps
Thiago - 5 apps
Milner - 6 apps
Keita - 9 apps
Henderson - 12 apps
Ox - 8 apps
C. Jones - 7 apps
Elliott - 4 apps
I'll probably update/double-check around the half-way mark to see if we are on target to collectively cover Wijnaldum's appearances.
In my ideal world, we'd bring in Ward-Prowse in January who is a very good player, good passer and presser and in tight areas when pressed and exceptional at set pieces and might even be a great help to trent developing his free kick taking ability and although it would be very expensive, Rice in the summer, Rice continues to improve and still needs to improve, but he's a player I feel can be a long term replacement for Hendo and would develop as necessary playing with and being around our other players

Ward Prowse just signed a 5 deal with Southampton. Hes not coming and he will never come. Tielemans looks more of an option. But Leicester wont sell him in January..we need an extra midfielder.. and maybe a forward.
