Chido Obi Martin

I get the calls for integration into the first team but aren't we all missing a vital point with Amorim taking over?

Since he has come in Amorim has constantly stated/complained about lack of prep/training time.

How does he integrate a young player into the team if he hasn't got time to prepare the first team players he actually currently has?

That may come over the coming weeks. We've avoided the playoff round for the Europa League, so our fixtures are currently:

07/02 - Leicester (H)
[8 days]
16/02 - Spurs (A)
[5 days]
22/02 - Everton (A)
26/02 - Ipswich (H)
[7 days]*
06/03 - Europa League
09/03 - Arsenal (H)

*This is subject to if we beat Leicester, as 01/03 weekend is FA Cup 5th Round and we will also play our Europa League Round of 16 tie on 06/03 regardless as far as I'm aware.

We definitely have to make the most of this training time, we won't be getting much more if we stay in the FA Cup & Europa League for a while. I'm aware that the amount of days between games doesn't all represent training as they'll be recovery days, prep days etc but I think bar the recovery day straight after a game you can be doing video/tactical/theory work etc.

Amorim has to go all-in on Hojlund and potentially bring in Obi if he's the most promising, because we must start scoring.

I hope so. And hopefully more than just Chido gets a look in.

I could be totally wrong obviously and maybe there is a plan for Chido and now isn't it.

It just struck me that a manager has a squad and has consistently said we have no time to train, then pushes that message at every opportunity yet us fans are asking about players being integrated who aren't part of that first team squad.

The obvious answer for me is he hasn't had/got the time.
