Rogers plays just behind Watkins. None of those others are really left wingers, and none have had close to the production Barnes has had down that side. I think you underestimate what Barnes has been able to contribute in goals and assists in the Premier league, even when he was at Leicester. If we make him available we'll see. I'm certain there will be interest. Perhaps some of the clubs even battling to stay up would see him as a big signing that gets them over the line. Time will tell.

Villa were apparently looking at him around the time we signed him. They currently use McGinn and Ramsey on that side. I could see them signing Barnes. They don't really have a left winger, which is one of their issues. Brentford are comfortably established in the Prem now. They spent £30 million on an unproven Brazilian striker from Belgium this past summer. Barnes is on around the same as what they pay Aaron Hickey from what I can see, so not beyond the realms of possibility.

No for the first two based on what exactly? And for Fulham and West Ham what makes you think they have no more room to spend?

Villa, Brentford, Fulham, Bournemouth, West Ham.

£40 million?! Yes, absolutely!

Man, this is pretty disgraceful from such an experienced player and previous captain. Must be absolutely killing the vibe around the place. As one of the people that thought we should have accepted the Bayern January bid as both Tino and Krafth were fit and available at the time, this is extremely annoying. It would have been good for him to get away too and link up with Kane who he's apparently close to, and who is a very stable guy. We have mismanaged his situation pretty badly.

Yeah, it's not a bad shout, and I don't know why it hasn't been tried yet when the alternatives are Murphy and Almiron tbh. However, now Bruno is in that RCM position, it should improve things regardless of who is on that side now, until we can upgrade the position.

Very well suited to breaking the press as he is uncannily great at it.

This guy is an absolute mess if all this is true. Can't be helping the atmosphere around the place. Hope we move him on quickly when the window opens.

Had some really poor moments today, but he kept going and didn't let his head drop, which was great to see, and he ended up with a really great goal. Just needs to now not be moved around any more, so he can build on this and really get into a rhythm.

Very very annoying, but at least we have arrived here now, and there will be no more second guessing going forward, as all that has been done now.

Really like that he just left Gordon on the left today. Some frustrating moments still, but it ultimately got him a great goal that should hopefully get him up and running now. It's taken a while but good to also see Tonali deeper and Bruno further forward. Really looking forward to that combo against teams that sit in deep against us. Think we'll find solutions to open them up more easily now. Eddie keeps plugging away. Think he should just stick with the current midfield and Gordon on the left now and let that all bed in. We'll see what happens with recruitment as the coming windows come around. If he and Mitchell are on the same page, I could really see things progressing well.

Infinitely more dangerous when his forward runs into space are spotted and he is threaded through like Bruno did on the goal. Could see him reaching another level with more of that kind of service through the middle. Going to be very interesting to see how things go with that relationship developing further the rest of the season now.

Pretty outrageous it's taken this long to get him in there. Thought he was great defensively, and just so efficient and sharp moving the ball. Improves our defending in midfield and allows Bruno the freedom to make things happen for our attack. Looking forward to the midfield developing further from here now.

Been dying to see him in positions to thread balls through to Isak, and finally we had that today from the outset. Will become a lethal weapon with more game time with him in that position. Love seeing him higher up the pitch. Not a bad free kick for our equaliser at the end too.

Great game. Amazing to get a point after ending up behind in such a demoralising fashion. Outrageous ending the game like that at the end ref. Really happy for the midfield 3 today, particularly Bruno as he made a fair bit happen further forward, and Tonali was brilliant too, especially defensively. Joe still scares me in there giving the ball away, but he brought a lot of presence too. Something to build on.

He blew the whistle !!!

If Longstaff gave away that penalty man. I swear.

Always liked Kelleher. Sign him up!

Gordon terrible getting back just then. Completely leaves Trent to get in position to feed Salah.

Tonali again kills the break away for Liverpool.

Tonali great defending again.

Another lovely through ball to Isak from Bruno. Isak has to be stronger there.

His was a big part of both goals!

We're so fucking idiotic giving the ball away in midfield.
