Slaven Bilic delivered an upbeat report on injured defender Arthur Masuaku who was stretchered off near the end of the 90 minutes against Accrington Stanley.
The left back looked in real trouble so it was encouraging to hear the manager’s post-match verdict that his “left leg injury ‘does not look like a worrying one’
Beyond that there were no further problems on the injury front and the boss was pleased with 33 year old right back Arbeola.
He said: “Arbeloa didn’t play for a long time but he played the full 90 minutes and he is going to bring us experience and quality.
But worrying enough to leave ten men,potentially playing an extra half hour.Hope he isn’t starting to play up Saks style? . COYI
Dont want to be paranoid but his suspicious handball and now withdrawal from the game.. I will watch this fella closely – might be a bookies puppet.
Maybe they have got to Ginge,Noble,Adrien,Reid,Tore,Zaza,
Calleri as well ?
The bloke was brilliant until he grew a hand on the side of his head,
It’s just a mater of time before the team clicks then everyone shouting for Slavs head and jumping on the players back will just go quite for a week or 2 then say they were always behind those people and never said a bad thing about them,
We had enough chances last night to score 5-6 but when it’s not going your way there is nothing you can do about it,
But none of our new boys or AC are going to score 20 plus goals in a season,
Unless I’m very much mistaken we won last night. Not the best performance but a win. And aren’t there enough daft stories circulating about us without our own fans making up conspiracy stories of their own? Once Slav gets us to click into gear there will be a few red faces!
