Howe has said they’ll play in the same team.

This is what I'm thinking, some of them have put an unreal shift in across the last 2 games.

I think he said something along the lines of ‘tomorrow may be a bit soon for him’.

I'd take this...loan on top if we're being greedy.

The application has been submitted to the home office, it’s completely out of the clubs hands.

Can’t see Willock in a midfield 2.

Feels like the right decision but gutted for Burn the way he’s been moved out to LB then on to the bench (if it transpires).

Silver lining if ASM is injured it may force an Isak start.

The argument in favour of bringing him on is that we want to take the cups seriously which justifies playing our best players (not that we won).

It Anderson comes in it will be for Willock surely? Longstaff is sitting deep in the absence of Bruno & Shelvey

I wish we’d stop this floating corners to Burn at the back post. Proper Pardew tactic to Williamson, which funnily enough didn’t work either. Mid week shows just put in into a dangerous area with plenty pace.

ASM could do with trying to whip one to the far post when he cuts back. Keepers just expect him to lash it as hard as he can to the near post every time, predictable.

I know we can’t rebuild Rome in a day, but the first team and bench today really highlights our lack of quality in depth.

Was he injured getting kicked? Because if not then it’s just unlucky

Bit of a head scratcher.

BBC reporting the Paqueta deal is £36.5m plus £15m in add ons. Hurts even more at that price

What’s all this Bruno rumour based on?

Really hope we get a look at him tomorrow, more than 4 or 5 minutes.

This last week is gonna be immense.

If he’s unhappy on our bench why does he want to go sit on Man Utd’s?

If Everton offer a few mil more but Pedro doesn’t want to go there how does that play out?

The issue with this take is Romano has then gambled his 100% hit rate with zero information about the deal being agreed? Makes no sense.

I love an Ando post

How you can watch that and come on here looking for the negatives is beyond me. ‘We played fantastic today but if a couple of the players had been shite we would have lost’.

I’m optimistic we’ll make it a contest, can’t ask for more than that against this lot.
