Forshaw would naturally replace Phillips.
Every team struggles to fill a position when both players missing
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We knew Forshaw was going to be missing, he was injured in Sep/October. Had a chance to get Phillips cover and we took the chancer route. Made our bed, now have to lay in it. I think Kalv will be ok but Tuesday might come too soon.

I actually think Fordham’s is a natural 8 not a 4. And we have three 8s in Klich, Fordham’s & Shack. And only one 4 in Phillips which is why the side is a bit out of balance. As well as the fact that Fordham’s is out for the season obviously

Agree but Of those 3 Forshaw replaces Phillips. Very comfortable on ball

You can't just sign a player everytime you get an injury. Not financially viable.

Especially with the money we overpay players and the 5 year contracts for all policy

Good job we play on Wednesday then

Was you at the game Lubo, if you were watch the last eight minutes again and you will see Shackleton gave it away nearly every time he touched it.
As for the original point. It could be argued positively that Bielsa's philosophy of players being able to cover more than one role is a good thing but without a doubt we look a different team with Kal out.
I would prefer we had enough options that we don't have to make do and mend.
We are already without Forshaw for the rest of the season, Bera until some time in March and if KP is out for any time things are very tight.

Never ever want to see white in midfield again

I was sat right in front of Shackleton a few times, and saw a few nervy touches. Didn't think it was anything that bad though.

I try to focus on the positives and not remember specific examples of negativity to talk about on here though.

Great to see him pumping up the South Stand, Pontus style, after the whistle.

We need someone like that on the pitch!
