Shout out to Lascelles, outstanding tonight, looked pretty decent on the ball too.

This was really great to see, hopefully he tries this more in the coming weeks.

I’ve read Botman had a reason for not travelling with squad but will be available? Hall I suspect will play in the league cup, it may well be Targett at left back tomorrow, maybe a back four of Tino, Lascelles, Burn and Hall in the league cup?

Howe will go full strength at the weekend, Tuesday to Sunday is plenty of time to recover. I think Gordon and Miggy will start on the flanks, only ‘surprise’ might be Wilson up top, I feel like he’d do a good job against these.

Seems Dunk was a huge loss for them at the back too

Great defending and good off the ball positioning, terrible with the ball tonight though.

We’ve had a really tough start to the season mind, not too concerned about the performances yet.

Would like to hear everyone’s thoughts on Isak moving out wide, not sure I’m a fan and it left us open down the left at times

Fantastic team performance, yes we can play better but this is AC Milan away!

For me finishing top 7 will be fine, any form of European football next season should be the minimum. I think Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal will be clear of everyone by Christmas.

I’m certain Longstaff will start this one.

I was literally thinking the same thing, we might not get it right this year but you can bet they’ll try to improve next year and every year after that. Get a couple of wins together after the break and everything will be rosy again.

Wonder if he’ll revert back to Joelinton, Bruno and longstaff in the midfield three with Barnes, Wilson and Murphy up top with the champions league game the following Thursday in mind? One thing for sure is we will be seeing a lot more changes in the starting elevens first half of the season.

It’s all about confidence, a couple of wins and we’ll be fine again. It happens in football, all teams go through bad spells and this could be ours. How we bounce back is the key and hopefully Howe can do it.

Naive to say we will finish 6-8, could easily finish below that, just look at Chelsea last season.

Back at the san siro, what a perfect draw, can’t wait

Hopefully weeks not months

It’s football, these happen every so often. We’ve got a lot to learn, we will come back stronger.

Has the rules changed regarding red cards when the last man takes out a striker through on goal or am I missing something?

You’d think Gordon would be up for it today though

Watching some of the highlights from our last season, I’m struggling to believe we can get anywhere near that this season. Some of our performances, goals and wins were unbelievable. Someone change my mind please!

115million, give me a break lol

No way are Liverpool playing this team vs us, we’d murder them in the middle of the field. They’ll probably have a new face in before we play them anyway.

From what Howe implied after the game this last transfer may well drag on until the last few days of the window, maybe there’s a reason for that? You’d imagine it’ll be extra defence cover.

Pretty certain Longstaff will start. Have a sneaky suspicion Barnes will start too.
