At least he’s on a long term contract. I don’t think JWP is a worry for this summer like Ings and Vest. It would be crazy to lose all 3, that’s the core of our team really. I know when Poch left we did similar but we won’t get the level of money in required to rebuild. We cannot contemplate selling JWP in either of the next 2 windows. Loyalty in football is dead, so can’t expect him to be the next MLT. Would be nice though!

I’d agree with that. Such a shame we are having to rebuild again, likely losing Danny. Vestergaard in the last year of contract too. Going to be a busy summer with a limited budget.

Theo has 9 more league games and hopefully 2 cup games (fingers crossed!) to earn a new contract. He’s not a bad option if the wages demanded are reasonable. No way can he be Ings direct replacement though.

Some coincidence that! I like it.

Yeah does look like the Mirror have made a a big assumption based on Ings favourite place to play being Anfield on a CL night. They won’t be playing CL there next season by the looks of it anyway!

Papers saying he is holding out for a return to Liverpool this morning.

I guess we are managing Djenepo with his injury history. I think he’s a stronger option than Tella. We miss Walcott for sure. Che Adams is in poor form but he loves a goal against Sheffield United. His brute force would be useful against a team like this.

Brighton create a lot more chances than we do, they just can’t finish their dinner. If they had a goal scorer they would be top half comfortably. 25 shots last night, 5 on target. Palace did nothing all game. At half time they were 1-0 up with their only touch in Brighton’s box! Worrying when you lose games that way... For us to be below that Palace team is worrying too. They are so poor, especially without Zaha. Hoping we make tonight’s game in hand count and go back above them. Relegation shouldn’t really be a worry, but would be nice to put it to bed with a win against the league’s fav

Sky Sports gave Salisu a match rating of 5/10... think that’s pretty harsh! Couple of rusty moments but he looks a player to me. Think it won’t be long before he holds a starting place. I liked what I saw last night.

Our injury worries are looking better, only Theo and Diallo who would potentially be starters unavailable. Alongside long term injuries to Obafemi and Smallbone.

He must have been decent enough during his time in Spain to have a top moments video posted by La Liga last month. Looking forward to finally seeing him play (assuming he actually is starting tonight). Easy to focus on his mysterious absence from the team for half a season, but there was a reason why his signing was met with so much excitement. Here’s hoping he can stay fit going forward and start to show why he’s seen as our future.

This is definitely a case of be careful what you wish for. Although I do agree with those that cite negligence when something like this happens twice, it really is unacceptable. Charlie Austin loves to pipe up at times like these and although he’s a bitter bloke, he makes some valid points - we should have defended that game in a way where we never see such a scoreline again. However, this was different to Leicester - Refs and VAR made this game the record scoreline. Injuries and early red card made the prefect storm. Sounds an easy bias/excuse, but it’s 6-0 with 5 to play (we had also s

Another great read Glen 👍

Minamino is an exciting signing for me. He knows the style from Red Bull and has a lot to prove in the PL. Assuming this goes through as reported, I’m looking forward to seeing him play for us. Hoping he can show the form from his CL performances. Elyounoussi did look good against City in the CL too... On the other hand, how can a PL team have literally no cover for either FB position? I accept the view that Valery and Vokins aren’t good enough. However, that does not excuse the mistake to not find alternative cover for either position in the last two windows. Why sign Salisu if there is

Shame there is no option, but there wasn’t with KWP either?
