SuperSAINT

It's funny, I was reflecting on Austin's 2 goals & about how I hope he doesn't get injured again & it reminded me about how good a job Claude actually did after losing both VvD & Austin for the 2nd half of the season last season. He just seemed to just casually put Stephens into the mix & he did so well for a young lad. (Who, lets be honest couldn't get into Boro's championship side!)

Scored another couple of goals for the U23's who drew 3-3 with Boro. Seems to be getting better & better after his injury. Wonder if he might be able to get a spot on the bench soon?

Yeah, I remember Puel saying Charlie couldn't play 3 games in a week last season.

Good, honest interview with Adam Blackmore after the game: https://audioboom.com/posts/6516063-charlie-austin-speaks-after-the-4-1-win-over-everton

Sell in the summer. Liverpool's need for a centre-back is unlikely to dissipate in the next few months.

We won a game with Boufal & Tadic in the team?! Brilliant!

Agree. What a difference it makes for somebody to head the ball into the net!!

Agreed. Steve Parish took some stick for ditching FdB, but at least they decided it wasn't right & made the change ASAP.

Interesting stats. Tomorrow is going to be pivotal. It will turn toxic if we lose.

We'd have to score though.

@OptaJoe: 12 - Everton have conceded at least once in each of their last 12 games in all competitions, including in all six under David Unsworth. Fragile.

They will have to considerably up their games after their respective performances vs Fulham U23's.

Here's how they line up tonight:

Indeed. I remember Sims playing in this game last season & was brilliant - Such a shame he's been injured. Hesketh literally cannot possibly offer less than Tadic, currently.

Has anybody read the book? Does it mention about playing incredibly slow-paced, repetitive football & not committing any runners from midfield?

71 now. Ross Wilson must've created a log-in

Probably poses the same goal threat as our current attackers, TBF.

Should've been in for him a year ago.

If successful (which so far it is) he's got a load of his players (& manager) in the shop window.

Nuno wouldn't come here. Wolves' owners have cracked the problem of post-modern loyalty & have solved it by employing an agent who won't talk his players (or manager) into leaving!

Bednarek seems like the archetypal kind of signing of a player who blocks the pathway of an academy centre-back.

I believe that was sarcasm.

Here's the link to the stream if it makes it easier.

3-3 Barnes

2-3 Barnes We should have at least 5.
