Ribeiro won’t be in the team.

I agree with the calls to drop Grabs and give Taylor a start

What's he done Sabri?

Do clubs have to announce if a player gets a positive covid test? My brain turned a bit conspiracy theory last night and wondered whether something like that may have happened or he and/or Joao May have come in contact with someone who has tested positive?

Nothing personally. Let’s just say he’s facing the same obstacle as Carvalho.

We drop our top scorer last season after he fails to find the net in just one game?

Now that is extreme!

Yes. I remember yesterday in the matchday thread I said are the mendes signings on their way out?

Someone better then him in the position?

Yes. Not surprised.

I would TPL. Not just because of one game but because of his last 15 or so games. Plus we have Taylor now too.

Harsh - in my view.
As the current incumbent he deserves a few games.
If not the coach would lose any trust in the dressing room.

Not really harsh, not if he is put on the bench and brought on for the last 30 minutes. Opposition sides have got their game plans to nullify Grabban. With Taylor or Freemen up top, it throws their plans out of the window. Then bring a fresh Grabban on when the opposition legs are tiring. it would give him more time to turn and/or run at the defence. 

Maybe, just maybe Grabbans confidence is shot too. Maybe just being a part player may help him build up his confidence again. Who knows
