Fuck me, let's not give credit where its due eh. Football isn't all beat a man. Too many 'fans' haven't got a clue.

Ah, you're one of them. "Get it forward", "put it in the mixer".

Shame you didn't see the goal. It was a belter. Redmond did great.

Great play from Redmond there. Again.

Most of them won't have spotted it, they'll judge him only on the men he beats and goals.

Romeu walking a tightrope. Gotta be careful.

Nice. Great run, great ball, great finish. Mini assist for Redmond too.

Yep. I don't think he was being asked to run at players on the week. It looked like he had a very different role, more of a link man. His performance wasn't eye caching, but it helped the team.

I've noticed that he gives us a slightly different shape. He drops off Ings in a free ish role making our system more 4231 than 4222. Although I'm not convinced by him in that role (I'd like to see Minamino there, Redmond left) I like the shape of the team.

Yep. Someone getting away with something after a court or quasi court decision gives them a victory. If you know that you're not going to win, don't have the fight.

Inevitable outcome from a pointless show trial. Republicans were never going to find against Trump. It's always better to do nothing than to allow a 'guilty' person to be publicly exonerated.

Bollocks

I agree with that, those 2 our best 10's, even if Walcott were available. There's no way Minamino loan would be free though, but I think it probable that we pay a reduced contribution to his wages if he plays. This loan seems to be part a Liverpool player getting half a season playing Premier league football for his/Liverpool's benefit, and part us getting a player to improve our team.

Surgery

Agreed. Salisu showed huge promise but I'd start Vest ahead of him. The rest of the team pretty much picks itself imo.

String

Yep, it's not complicated. It's important to win any match, for confidence if nothing else. Moreover, we're also skint and every league place is worth nearly £2m. There's 18 million reasons why it's important to finish 8th rather than 17th. That's another player.

Thanks, didn't hear the interview. He's right about Tella. What a cracking cameo. Full of energy and did so well for the goal. In fact, he did more when he was on than Djenepo did all game.

Decent debut on the whole. Good pace, positioning and mostly good on the ball. Few sloppy moments which is probably a combo of nerves / rustiness and tiredness towards the end. I liked what I saw. Hopefully he'll get a huge confidence boost from that and kick on.

Shock

Superb from Tella. Pressing, pace, strength, composure. Nice.

Salisu struggling now. Probably knackered to be fair. Get Vest on, and Adams on up front.

Traore looks like he's oiled himself up bodybuilder style. Odd. He'll be a good test for Salisu who's looked good so far.

Yep, my thoughts. Perhaps the new strain is more deadly than we're told.
