Those two are key to the team and it was very bad luck having them both out at once. One of them out and Trippier in is ok.
The achilles heal of the squad remains - quality in depth. It seems years since weve had a very good starting 11 but little to come off the bench. This is improving at CB and, somewhat, in the wide attacking areas but full backs and central forwards are the weaker areas.
As much as I wouldn?t play Schar in midfield, Burn should not play LB. Hes a CB and deserves praise for filling in there but it limits us hugely, especially in attack.

Im still wondering where the young lads who should be coming through are?

The biggest risk with the Tino/Hall combo is the reliance on the national team for both of them and the subsequent risk of injury
