Can anyone explain to me why Mous is a sub when it is evident he is not fit.
Because we have nothing else as back up for central defence other than him and a handful of youth teamers? Mous did come through 90 mins in the Pizza Trophy not long ago so he is capable of playing although we now all know about his knee being held together with splints and sticky tape. He can muster a few minutes here and there but playing two 90 min matches in a week is beyond him.
The defence and the efforts to improve it with Dickie departing has been the glaring oversight from the summer. There is some sympathy in that the Mous knee situation has come to light after the transfer window closed, however the deals for improving that area should have been made way before that anyway. One of Omar Beckles and Ben Heneghan would have been a perfect fit in terms of position, profile and career experience.
