Tough to be massively critical. A lot of the injuries are down to bad luck. Summer was a key transfer window and we got it wrong so hopefully we learn.

Good around the place. A top 4 mentality if ever I’ve seen one.

Longstaff and Ritchie.

We should take it out of his hands, Freddy Shep with Bellamy style.

Can we just cheat please and get some squad players from the Saudi league in January?

Worst I’ve seen in 30 years.

If Callum isn’t fit for this he needs to be made to withdraw from the England setup asap.

Always has been, to be fair.

I remember that primitive True Geordie video he was on about re. booing. Hilarious viewing.

Be fun watching Southgate managing Norwich in a couple of years.

What sport is that?

Saudi has so many business interests / weight that I’m sure the ‘multiple offers’ aspect isn’t going to be difficult to bypass. No doubt those scouse rats are behind this one.

This based on his 2 goals in the Championship including the elegant finish off his knee? Have a word. Imagine a scout being paid to come back with a report on him with due diligence and concluding we should sign him up. Mike Ashley’s NUFC in a microcosm.

It wasn’t working playing him, as it often won’t away to good sides. Hell of a goalscorer, obviously but he’s a limited footballer. And he’s knackered.

What’s his deal with attacking animals?

Agree on the last sentence. So surely you recognise half of his game is solid and the other half is shit?

Ritchie can’t run. We’d be down to 10 men from the off.

I’m behind Eddie all the way, I just hope one of the conclusions he comes to is that we need to look at finding someone to link midfield with attack, even if it means altering the way we play slightly. If there’s one criticism of this season, there’s been too many spells of 30-45 mins where we’ve been a nonentity going forward. Obviously we’ve scored a lot of goals in the league through intensity alone but there’s limits to who that works against.

Callum is always on the verge of a muscle injury. Nowt remotely surprising and probably nothing to worry about too much.

Bang on, as per.

Or put Trippier at LB after the international break. No too fussed but Liv has earned his chance.

Yeah he’s running on empty and needs a 2 1/2 week break.

I can’t fathom why we run Trippier into the ground to this extent when we’ve got him.

They know exactly what they’re doing, to be fair. Every medium - long range pass is aimed right between our defence and midfield and they got a lot of joy from it first half hour. You need a bit of luck or extra quality against teams like this and without Isak up top that leaves good fortune.

He’s playing far too much football atm. Not his fault. Same for Wilson.
