There's every chance that Koeman would have relegated Lambert to the bench more often if he'd stayed here, to be fair. With the number of games Liverpool are going to be playing he'll get his minutes

I'm sure you're not contesting that America was built on black slavery. Most of America's black population has, over hundreds of years, had to work its way from the utter desolation of slavery to the position it is in now - still at economic and social disadvantage. They still haven't reached equality with white people, and that inequality is built on racism, regardless of whether there are poor people of other ethnicities.

The odd bigot but not otherwise. Being anonymous always makes people a bit more liberal with their aggro

Congratulations on naming one migrant out of the hundreds of thousands, millions that have come to this country and lived productively, peacefully and within the law. Think about that - one person out of a million. One in a million. What does that phrase normally mean? Considering the USA is a nation built by black slaves under white supremacists, I'd say, er, all of it.

Everyone seemed to know he wouldn't play on Sunday as well.

If I wanted to do that I wouldn't attribute the view to someone else. I think she's in it for the long run. Just think it's strange that such a respected and well connected journalist thinks otherwise, against all other evidence.

There are still respected and well connected journalists (not least Tony Evans, football editor of the Times) who say that she wants out. Not sure what to make of that

His lack of match fitness showed a little but he still performed - didn't assert himself but kept things moving and played a few lovely passes. Fans sang his name more than I've ever heard at a game.

Ah, right you are. Townsend may or may not be worth £10m/the right signing but he's definitely better than Puncheon. He's got a real talent and that might come out with regular top-flight games.

Who's JP? Am I missing something?

It certainly was. I was disappointed Long couldn't get his header on target but if he had done there was a good chance of it being blocked on the line anyway. Davis had time to pick his spot, even take a touch, and panicked.

Steady on! I definitely fancy him though

Ok boss I enjoyed today's game and think we looked sharp. Agonising not to get anything with those two sitters. Bigger challenges to come though, because Liverpool were pretty poor.

Big words from Lambert on sky just now. Said 'the owners have brought in the people they think are best for the club, and we'll have to see if it was the right decision'. Hardly disguised the fact he doesn't agree.
