Difficult what to make of Lanzini . I didn’t see Sundays game , just the second half 2 days later , but there are some that say he hasn’t been the same since his injury .
I thought he seemed to be on the way back somewhat early on last season but he really hasn’t been the same since Payet left .
Oh what would we give for a Payet now ….

Moyes would have him protecting Cresswell

Cornets a jack of all trades so I have heard, played in many positions bar goalkeeper. So you might see him here , see him there, probably see him everywhere. Ready made for Moyes.

If Fornals is to have any hope of being called up by Luis Enrique for the Spanish World Cup squad, which at one time looked highly likely, he should be looking to jump ship before the end of this window imo.

I sincerely hope he doesn’t but I shouldn’t think the prospect of another season babysitting Cresswell is going to impress Enrique much .
I can hear the song now …

Exactly mate. Cornet will be protecting like Fornals does, which takes away some of the pace in attack

But surely we will have a top quality LB coming in shortly to finally put Cresswell on the bench , the window is still open by all accounts

I don’t have to be ITK to deduce that our vice captain will be first choice left back this season .
Be amazed if we’re even looking for a replacement with Johnson here tbh
