But it's not a game of FIFA 20xx, though, is it?

TC has come in for EB who is out for three games. He's gone for minimal disruption to his system, which has borne somewhat acceptable results - bringing Mo/Mario in would have required more extensive changes. The real question is, what happens when EB is eligible again: I'd be surprised if he didn't go straight back in but Farke has surprised me from time to time.

We do seem to be seven points clear of third place with four games left to play. As failures go, this doesn't strike me as particularly abject. Indeed some of us might even regard this season as broadly successful thus far. I'm not sure how much Farke needs our input, nor the extent to which our young players need to be undermined like this - that may not be the intention but it is the result and it's been stated to be the result and yet still the undermining continues.
