DT

V important for him and us. And the Dons are 4-0 up.

Porthos on

Koeman should make a change now

Pelle. It's the big rectangular thing with a net on it.

Bloody lucky there

Refereeing in this is gash

We should buy that Chaplow bloke. Looks good

Now don't bloody sell him

I hope Koeman gets angry sometimes

Huge gulf in class...ahem

Only takes one of those bad tackles on Tadic and our creativity will be gone

Shocking defending

Blimey. That Pelle bloke isn't very good, is he?

Not looking very likely to score

Schneiderlin obviously not wanting to be cup-tied...

I think he'll rest Forster, to be honest

Probably his contract. He maybe didn't have the 'promise you the earth' ones the rest we shipped out were on? Just a hunch.

Things change. Holding onto Schniederlin may have become almost impossible. Basically player power rules, chasing more lucre. I suggest we waste less time castigating the board and ill advised 'promises' and more on envisaging/supporting a new team and formation. And just hoping that Koeman has the draw to get the best possible squad together by Sept 1.

Can't help but think we're looking at the wrong guy here. I think Townsend isn't the player Lennon is, or at least would not be able to supply the kind of raw pace we need that Lennon could. But both are big time charlies who would sulk even more than Schneiderlin. The answer is to let Schniederlin go for £25m and get Clasie in, alongside Toby A in defence and AN Other zippy winger. Possibly.

Wearing that training kit I suspect a few travellers will mistake them for ticket inspectors...

The Lawnmower Man

Lovren's head was not in Manchester

...and lambert scores...

Lambert coming on for Liverpool. 11 mins to go, 3-0 down. Good luck with that

Was waiting for this one. Can't understand why others aren't in for him.
