It's dependent on injuries of course but Morton makes a NINTH midfielder - how much do we really need a tenth?
On the subject of injuries/rotation, a lot of our fans were worried about a repeat of last season's loss of Jota and couldn't fathom us playing first-teamers against AC Milan in case of injury - tonight we saw Bayern okay Lewandowski, Sane, Muller etc.
Numbers wise, we are absolutely covered. We do need to upgrade on Nabby and Ox.
Morton looks like he's close. He could be some player when he fills out a bit.
I have actually wondered for the last few years if Jurgen is banking on a batch of youngsters coming through.
