Hope it’s not serious

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

If there is still a chance he could play today which is suggested I wouldn't have thought the injury would be to bad.... hopefully!

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Good spot. Says it's minor at the end. Hope he's fit to play as I want to see Morocco win

 

[Supadavewolf]

This clearly confirms two things.

1. Why Bruno has been wanting another CB, and 2. the fact Saiss's injury post-dates that wish must mean Bruno is either psychic or owns a time machine.

I’m going for time machine. This is why he didn’t celebrate the winner at Villa - knew it was coming.

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

Hope he plays against Egypt, the media love in around them solely because of Salah is wholly annoying.

I actually fancy Morocco to go on and win, bloody good first XI.

Yes the BBC Football Focus explained "Salahs's Egypt " was playing Morocco !
They are such simplistic luvvies .

But we all know that salah’s Egypt is playing romain “the Moroccan Maldini” sais’ Morocco……

and our boy is going to win!!

 

[Ian C]

He’s just made an absolutely amazing goal saving challenge!

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Is he injured??

 

[NottsWolves]

Played the full game.

 

[Fenrir_]

Looked like he was really struggling today, wouldn't be surprised if he's out for a couple of weeks

 

[Supadavewolf]

He looked ok, if cream crackered, at the end. Hopefully fit by the time he gets back.

 

[Matt]

Probably worth sticking with Toti for Norwich anyway.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Probably worth sticking with Toti for Norwich anyway.

Yes, I'd give Saiss another week (unless he doesn't want it), tough to play these tournaments mid-season, physically and psychologically.

 

[Royal wolf]

That loss is on him. He didn’t deserve to just walk back into the side after Toti played so well IMO. He hasn’t been great since his return. I can’t get my head around that defending from him. Droppable offence

 

[TheConcourse]

He needs a rest. Cost us points in two back to back games with rash decision making. What even was that?

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

That loss is on him. He didn’t deserve to just walk back into the side after Toti played so well IMO. He hasn’t been great since his return. I can’t get my head around that defending from him. Droppable offence

Nonsense. The loss is on the boss and the players who had 14 attempts on goal and couldn't muster a serious threat. Blame Saiss if you want but he's one player who always gives his all in the cause.

If you never threaten the opposition and you have good but not great defenders you will lose games because they occasionally make errors. We have less goals than Watford

 

[woop woop barmy army]

I think he’s been poor since he returned. Might be chance to see if boly can return to some kind of form.

 

[JOSWolf]

He hasnt been the same since ACON. Disappointed that Toti has vanished from the scene along with Cundle.

 

[Ned]

He needs a rest. He’s giving the ball away more than any time this season and is actually looking vulnerable for the first time this season.

 

[Aimless Balls]

We’re relatively strong at his position and it’s been a few poor games, shake it up. Would’ve done so for this one. Toti offers pace, Boly offers power.

No, the loss, as has been the case for a very long time, inc in the Nuno era,, is on the midfield that:
- don’t control the midfield
- don’t break up opposition play
- don’t provide an out ball for the defence
- dont pass through the lines to the strikers
- don’t support the strikers quickly enough when we do get forward

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

3 goals in 2 games his fault

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

3 goals in 2 games his fault

Not his fault per se, but the Leicester goal was played through his position too.

Truly feel Toti is more comfortable on the ball, and I'm somewhat disappointed he's no longer playing.

 

[Supadavewolf]

We all seem to agree that Romain's form has dipped slightly. Probably more than one factor - ACON with its physical demands of switching from a cold to a hot climate and back again, general tiredness, uncertainty as to his future...

I'm sure Toti will get his chance. Maybe sooner rather than later.
