Pep lost me when he said "Redmond is so good..."

Well, 3 at the back has come a long way since getting trounced by Wolves reserves earlier this season. Unlucky Saints.

Pards probably more likely to find a role for him than Megson. We shall see.

Last year's effort was pretty great.

He hasn't though, that's why it's so good.

Looks like he's done a good video interview with the OS which I have no idea how to embed.

& to expand on #4, would give us 6 more months of scouting time.

Genuine question: Next summer, if City came in with £60m & Liverpool with £80m - Who would you sell him to?

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?
