Weldone to our boys yesterday for greatest come back, Ed i want to ask anyone who knows the extent of Can's injury bcz some conflicting reports say he is out for the season, if that is the case then we are doomed as hendo is out as well. I like Lucas but has no legs Allen is a super sub at best, Stewart is young can't be relied on.

{Ed002's Note - The injury won't yet have been assessed to establish what needs to be don and how long he will be outfor. Once any swelling has gone dow - maybe today but probably tomorrow, he will have a scan and be looked at. Anything before any announcement from the club is pure speculation.}

We're not quite doomed. Can and Hendo have been immense but with a good Cdm behind them to give them freedom to roam, Milner and Allen have proven themselves more than capable of dominating midfield.

Main worry is that probably has to be Lucas now (given big match experience and with Stewart not registered for EL), and his legs aren't what they were, but I'm sure he'll be up for it and has a few PL games try it out before next leg.

That is a decent observation and a concern mate. Credit goes to Brendan who in three years did not even consider one specialist CDM after spending £300 mill. Without a decent midfield no club has won anything in the past.
