Is only going to get better if given the minutes to get match fit & confident. Depends if he gets those minutes but as you say, he gives us something different.

Alan Nixon saying Blackburn are very keen on loan but depends on if we want to utilise him or not. Interesting to see what happens as Obafemi is still out for a few more weeks.

Thought there might be a hint by an ITK if anything was imminent re: Cedric.

I imagine he might need surgery as he's been carrying it for ages.

Ralph Hasenhuttl coy on Southampton links with Leipzig forward Jean-Kevin Augustin: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11700/11609721/ralph-hasenhuttl-coy-on-southampton-links-with-leipzig-forward-jean-kevin-augustin Of all the deals they had to ask about - They ask him about the £38m option FFS.

Needs 2 or 3, but unlikely to have the cash.

What do you really think of him though?

Yeah, good physical tools to work with. But he's only 18 & hasn't played a huge amount of games for the U23's yet.

Ralph just said he wanted Bertrand to start, but Bertrand said he's still feeling pain.

The Forster to Leeds talk seemingly came from Jim Proudfoot who later deleted his own tweet about the news. The papers just kept that story running for a few days.

Totally agree. I said above he needs a good spell of being injury free & he will score goals in the EFL.

Lookman & Theo are going to be tricky to deal with.

Great thread title if it's true. Misleading if its just speculation.

I'd cut Sam some slack. Long time out injured, with zero game time to build up any sort of match fitness.

I'd play Sims instead of him easily. Abdominal injury

Think there's only been the Everton link. Would have thought the Portuguese media would have made more noise about a move if one was imminent.

Does he normally do this?

Was hoping he'd miss the game through injury, but Harry Wilson showed he's some talent tonight. Wonder if he'll ever get in the Liverpool team.

Best we can probably hope for given the games we've had. Still struggling at home.

Lovely chip for the goal, looked terrible apart from that. He reminds me of when you play a football computer game for the 1st time and don't know the buttons so just run head down straight into the opposing defenders.

Being fresh for this game is going to be tricky for some of our players. Don't want another repeat of the West Ham game. Assume Long might be a doubt for this one. Don't think Everton have any injury concerns.

Agreed. He waited and looked for that pass too.

Derby look like they've named a strong team.
