The way this is shaping up it looks like we'll have to wait until late Thursday for any signings. It's going to be a nervy one for sure.

Yes, I would be more inclined to believe things if the target and his price was more realistic for us. Gakpo is way out of our price range and bigger fish are interested in him. Let's hear about some realistic targets.

Cody Gakpo is brilliant, tall, strong, powerful runner who can go by opponents, plenty of goals and assists to his game and he whips in a mean corner or cross. Would be pleasantly surprised if a) we could afford him and b) he'd come to us among interest from much bigger clubs. Doubt there is any substance in this.

ABK did make a brilliant last ditch tackle in the second half - can't remember who on.

Plus a creative number 10.

From what I am reading people seem to be only expecting one incoming which will be a huge disappointment. We need two decent acquisitions for me at centre forward and a creative midfield number 10. I don't think full back is a priority but a loan signing to cover Tino's long term absence would be welcome.

To be fair to Ralph bringing on a centre back to play up front and hope someone gets on the end of a knock down is a well used ploy. Don't think he was expecting Lyanco to score - just wanted him to wreak a bit of havoc because we weren't winning many aerial battles up front.

Just hearing the New York Knicks have put in a bid of $200million for Scott McTominay.

Lady Penelope wants him sacked.

Reckon Bournemouth could be the first club to do it twice in the same season.

Heard he had a pre-match phone chat about tactics with Ralph - must have listened carefully and taken it all on board.

Full time 9-0 😞

Dey do do dat doe don't dey!

Calm down, calm down....

Must be loads of added on time for all those kick-offs after goals.

You can never rely on scousers.

Only South Coast softies lose 9-0.

True, that already makes it worse than our two 9 nils.

Surely Salah has to get the 10th.

Pull your finger out Salah - chance to fill your boots and you sack off. Call yourself a striker.

2 to beat it or 1 to equal. Gonna be tight.

No, they referred it to Billy Smart instead and, having looked at it briefly, he decided he'd like McTominay in his circus as the lead juggler.

Brendon in! Rogers out!

10 man Chelsea now 2-0 against Leicester. I can hear the cries of Brendon out from here.

They need 3 in about 25 minutes. Can they do it?
