Without the captain we are very light in attacking midfield and on the wings.
Saka plays and hobbles off nearly every game for two seasons straight.
Martinelli has been off it for a season and a half.
Sold ESR, Eddie, loaned Viera and Reiss Nelson.
Outside of the often injured Zinchenko, our otherwise astute fullbacks, don’t create much.
I’m optimistic that Merino will contribute a lot this season, and that Jesus will find his touch again, but this squad looked outmatched on the ball yesterday.
