This ref has lost his whistle.

Wilson not happy.

Aye its rancid. No wonder Eddie fucked off.

Come one Eddie. Let us see Miggy and Barnes etc. Want to see how many more we can get.

Was sunshine last time we beat them down there.

Can't believe how good Hall has been. Never been so confused as to why Howe wasn't starting him.

Murphy 2 assists. Man we know how to score.

If you are missing a pen, that's the one to miss.

Alex having a day off.

Absolutely killing them.

Some great cameos here. Isak has been quiet... which should worry Burnley.

Ref is making it about him.

Good football. Started by Tino.

Ref letting Burnley do what they want. Fouls on Wilson and Isak just let go.

Should be a booking for foul on Gordon.

Yeah I reckon it's 442 with Isak given licence to roam. In this formation we might ask Murphy to sit in a touch.

I said I thought Tosin would be a great signing so we are in agreement but his price makes it a no brainer. My wider point is that the club won't be making 5 20m pound signings. They are much more likely to make 2 50m signings and rightly so.

Gonna be 442. That will kill Burnley.

Telt ya Edit: apart from Barnes.

It's been two years since the takeover, we have a horrific injury crisis. I'll take a bet that this is the last year of us having to play "the old guard", like Dummett and Richie. We may have a Murphy or Krafth still knocking about but they will be 3rd choice.

That's two poor examples. Endo was a panic buy after Caicedo and Lavia turned Liverpool down. He's been OK but he's nowhere near as good as Fabinho. So Liverpool are weaker in that area. Trossard cost 30m and is a quality signing. No different to say Barnes. So exactly what we already have been doing. I'm not really sure what the debate point is here? I want them to sign quality and quality costs.

If he's with the squad, I'd presume Howe will start him.

It's hard to really grasp what you are saying though. Give me an example of a player/price you would look at? In general, the less you pay, the worse the quality. Filling the bench with players "just better than Richie and Dummett" is a ridiculous strategy, both from a financial and footballing point of view. I'd rather sign quality, slowly and be patient.

What annoys me is that he played left of the midfield 3 too many times. With that passing/crossing ability, you have to have him in that half space around the opposition box, where Longstaff plays. Do that and Tonali could well get 15 goal contributions, especially with Gordon and Isak bombing in.

Are you saying you were dreaming of penises?
