Like the gib of delap, in a good team he would be very dangerous. Lots of pace, strong and good running into channels

Burn has a yellow and delap and enciso have pace. Craft or botman on

I think Eddie has been quoted recently that players could earn their place in the team via performances and training. Barnes has to stay based upon goals/assists contributed over this short period

I agree, we could go another season with the same two keepers. But... we do need a striker, a winger or even a combo of the two (Mbuemo type) to cover for and to be able to rest Isak. Schar is already showing signs of losing his legs and concentration in parts of this season so we need to get a high level replacement so that Schar is the reserve in that position. Three "Purples": RW, RCB & Striker "Up and comings": Goalie, Nº10, Midfielder (if we sell Sean or Willock)

Not too bad a line up for everton: Pickford Mykolenko Branthwaite Patterson O'Brien Gueye Garner Ndiaye Doucouré Harrison Beto

Come on you Blues (Everton)!!! Don´t like seamus coleman up against chelsea´s attack tho´

I think out of Barnes and Murphy it has to be murph who is dropped, he was pretty lame against Villa (as were many) and he is not on the same level as Barnes IMO. I would also have Krafty in at centre back instead of Schar, i just think he needs a rest and a reset...

Is DCL better than Wilson at this moment in time? I think he probably is and as a free Transfer It would be a simple one in one out. Would rather spend a large wedge on Mbuemo, keeper and a rcb.

So we cannot rely on 3 wins and a draw

Looking at villas fixtures after tonight, they are well capable of winning them all and getting 12 points. That means we need to win four also. Our gd took a hit on Saturday

Chelsea have a fairly difficult run in and should drop points given their recent form; Everton, Liverpool, Us, Manu, Forest

our next three games are the most important; ipswich and brighton are down on form and should be winnable, chelsea at home is a "six-pointer", if we do them then I think we qualify. Mancity or villa are going to drop points this week so we must take advantage...

Missing in action today.

The pair of them magnified the mistakes, was obvious villa targeted our right sided of the defence, watkins was always between him and schar and pissed all over them

Schar was abysmal today, slow to react and beaten to every ball, can't remember him winning a header either. Worst game this season. A pacy right centre back is needed this summer

Why we don't give Osula a chance is beyond me, he can't be any worse!

Really detailed! Quite interesting to see how much análysis is usted on these websites

Botman is 100% the better defender out of the two. Drip feed him minutes and maybe a couple of 60 min run outs nearer end of season

A decent manager should be able to adapt to the players he has, not the players having to adapt to him. Once he has a pre-season and a couple of his own players there really should be zeto excuses I still laugh at the thought that a supposed world class manager is incapable of motivating and improving any group of players... Makes you believe he is no where near as good as they say. Do you think Pep or Eddie wouldn't be able to improve the Manu team? My thoughts exactly!

Man mark Fernández and they are left toothless

I am also hoping that he gets two or three "purples" this summer and two or three up and coming/unknown entities who can step up to the next level. My dream signings would be; Huijsen, Mbuemo and Delap (or david on free), with a sprinkling of Dibling and trafford for up and comings!!! If we get a fast ball playing right back to compliment a fit Botman, a right winger to fight with Murph for that place, a proper back up striker and a couple of extra new faces, we should be a team who can compete pretty well in the champs league and also our home comps.

Yep, PSG look a very solid team this season and are playing nice direct and fast football with a team who works hard off the ball. Good to watch!

Lovely cross for the Murphy goal

Good thing is that Manu play the same system as leicester, so a good warm Up. Thought we were sloppy in the 2nd half and let them have too much ball. Ojalá needs to calm down, i do like his energy and keeness but he needs to channel It better. Miley was slow and sloppy, sean looked allright apart from one pass. Krafty is a great sub to have, never puts a foot wrong.

Villa made 8 changes from the team that played their last game, they were equal to forest... Pretty impressive tbf
