Was Selles brought in by Rasmus?

As a supporter of a different team in the Championship I feel they should give him until at least Christmas.

Would be great to get back to 4 at the back. No Jelert at left back? For all of the 2 free kicks, Manning still feels like he's going to leave a massive gaping space several times in any game. Will be interesting to see how, if at all, Aribo and Edozie might be involved now it looks like transfers are off.

I believe the appropriate verb is either "slithered" or "scuttled"

Do they still sell itching powder in joke shops?

That's odd. My ex said it was because I was too big of a cock.

I'm not sure Edozie ever got a chance to build his confidence back up. By the time he was back from injury Martin had brought in Brooks and Rothwell on loan and, after that, chances were few and far between. Then last season Martin decided he'd prefer BBD and Armstrong as his wide players and shipped him off on loan. I'm actually hopeful that Edozie fights for his place now he didn't get his move because his ability to go past people is right up there and he'd added the defensive side of his game. The goals / assists return he got in the first half of the Championship would be very welcome this time. With Robinson I think that Stoke showed that he's going to struggle in that part of the pitch. We want him trying things around the opponent penalty area. Not between our penalty area and the centre circle. At least until he's developed more physically.

The big difference so far for me is that Dibling looked phsycially strong to be able to hold off players when he came into the team. Robinson can get knocked off the ball a bit easily as we saw against Stoke though that was a factor of being forced to play central midfield.

I do worry that Liverpool's threadbare squad will be down to the bare bones to the extent they'll struggle to put out of team worth half a billion dollars.

I'm concerned they're going to run out of space on the high score table for more players.

He's very excited about joining Leeds and the owner is supportive of him going to a higher league. Not.

I believe the esteemed gentleman has been on the jellied eels.

Still unbeaten in the league. That's one hell of a start.

Fully expecting Slothwell to be on soon for Rangers and for them to surrender midfield. That being said - Celtic deserve nothing from this match.

Rodgers teams are always shit after 2 seasons.

I think the players are letting emotion take over and ignoring instructions. Just like the playoff final.

Martin responds by turning round and flicking his hair angrily.

Scottish commentator "we're talking fractions here" with the graphic showing the player entirely ahead of the defender.

VAR rules it out for off side. Still no shots and no goals.

Saying that.... Rangers 1-0 up. The dream is on.

Heady stuff. 30 minutes in.

To be fair... if you've hired the guy you can't really sack him before the end of August. That being said you have to question your hiring process at some point. Much in the way we've despaired at our own over the last few years.
