If he needs surgery, we will 100% go all out for a CB in January. Can't fuck about on this one, it's something we would have looked at in the summer anyway.

Chelsea have to give permission for him to play. More chance of their fans voting lib dem.

Goldbridge is completely different on Ben Fosters podcast. Way more likeable. Try not to take them seriously.

Yeah it looks as though Casemiro might be over the hill. I'd have him at the toon mind.

So in one game he's found extra cover at CB (Krafth) an option in Brunos position (Joelinton) and someone who can do a decent job up front (Gordon). Fully expecting Richie to go in goal or some shit.

Can we get back to talking about how mint Livramento is please

Just to add to this, last 9: won 5, drawn 2, lost 2. That's decent form but not the barnstorming of last season. Both sides have found a slight struggle with fixture congestion.

Old as fuck.

They got beat yesterday and there's been alot of questions surrounding their performances, lack of balance, what Havertz offers etc. They certainly aren't the side that beat us at SJP last season but still good obviously.

Trippier might seem like lazarus right now but an injury to any player is around the corner, it takes one injury for Livramento to pounce. All those amazing right backs England have; Trippier (old), TAA (cant defend), James (crock).... Livramento is the one.

Oh and it's my first match since Wembley.

24 hours ago, this was a game that Arsenal edged us out. We've pretty much rested : Bruno, Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Wilson and Burn. Notably, these are some of our more aging players. Arsenal have lost confidence and aren't in a great mental space either. We CAN win, I'd take a draw, place needs to be a cauldron. Pope Trippier Lascelles Schar Burn Longstaff Bruno Joelinton Miggy Wilson Gordon Key subs: Livramento, Willock, Hall. If we can get a lead, the likes of Krafth, Dummett, Richie and Co have shown that they can help us see out a game with professionalism. We are in a decent spot. Tough game though.

At least Liverpool got West Ham.

Dubravka 7 Livramento 9 Krafth 8 Dummett 8 Hall 8 Longstaff 7 Joelinton 9 Willock 9 Richie 7 Gordon 7 Miggy 8

The way he sprinted to celebrate was lush. Pure schoolboy stuff.

If its not Boro at home, I'll be fuming .

He was everything we thought he was. What's great is that he's got soooooo much to learn. Knowing you can trust a player is everything and we can trust him.

Targett started the game as DM.

It's absolutely frightning to me that our second string can go to old Trafford, smash them 3-0 and I'm not remotely surprised. It's the new norm for me to be thrilled by these performances but never surprised.

I really like Neville to be fair.

Enjoy this lads.

Quite unnerving that I don't expect us to bottle this. They will make subs.... so will we.

Our recruitment policy doesn't look too terrible right now.

Our midfield is smashing theirs.

Let's assume Eddie won't change formation for this. Pope Tino Lascelles Dummett Targett Longstaff Willock Joelinton Richie Hall Gordon Would be my guess. If we are drawing at half time, I'd 100% bring on the big guns second half. Wilson- Hall Miggy- Richie Bruno- Longstaff Schar- Dummett 30 mins won't harm them much and they could see us through to the next round.
