Howe answered a different question as well, he was asked if he was going to be in the squad for the weekend, he said he anticipates he’ll be fit. Proper lawyer answer that!

Even the commentators said yesterday that they’d barely mentioned his name. he definitely has a valuable set of assets for the team but being forced to use him game in game out when not all the games are suited to him isn’t doing anyone a favour. He definitely falls into the category of player Howe was talking about shouldn’t be getting as much stick as he’s been asking them to play when they otherwise might not have been fit and ready.

Honking team, that

Dat bench

If he can hit a cross right footed he'll be more use than Almiron.

Watching Sky, who were playing Liverpool?

It did occur to me that a system that enforces selling a player you don't want to sell for an accounting trick strikes me as something that probably shouldn't be looked upon too favourably.

Punching a player in the head.

Properly rooting for him. With the exception of Isak, I think everyone in the squad last year looked ropey in spells, but some didn’t have much competition and got game time and came good eventually. He was unlucky that Schar, Botman and Burn didn’t get injured.

And Tonali sprinting back behind the defensive line to play everyone onside

You need 3 keepers and by if 1 isn't homegrown you lose a squad spot which would be an annoying choice to make.

Looking at the guidelines, Anderson, Miley and Ashby will all need registering on A or B list. Anderson and Miley qualify for A-list club-trained or B-list. Ashby hasn't been with us for 2 years so only counts as an A-list association trained player.

Isak is wasted up front man (joking, not joking?)

I always remember why I never watch the build-up on the few times I actually do.

Has anyone got/seen any decent photos of him standing celebrating on the hoardings?
