Further aside from this, who do people think is the best natural finisher at the club? Without thinking about it I think you naturally say Isak, but I reckon Barnes runs him close.

More than deserved from Palace.

Liverpool have played it around well in midfield, but they've not really done anything that makes me think this team is going to be any better than last seasons Liverpool, they actually look quite fallible at the back, Palace have broke quite a few times. Kerkez looks suspect, and its been an overall equal game.

That Palace kits is so close to being perfect, but that white shoulder line ruins it.

Was fully expecting that to be overturned. Given it was against Liverpool

Obviously

@Magpie pinned for you. It's mainly in place so I remember every week and so I can finish bottom again. Gameweek 1 Liverpool 3 v 1 Bournemouth Villa 3 v 0 Newcastle Brighton 1 v 1 Fulham Spurs 1 v 1 Burnley Sunderland 2 v 1 West Ham Wolves 0 v 2 Man City Chelsea 2 v 0 Palace Forest 1 v 1 Brentford Man United 1 v 2 Arsenal Leeds 2 v 1 Everton

Sheffield United in the mud after sacking a manager that got them 90 points last season. Love to see it.

We finished 5th 2 months ago.

Atleast we get our customary 3-0 loss at Villa Park out the way early this season.

We've had better pre-seasons (not that it ever really matters)

You say that like Barnes didn't have a great end of last season, and is some chump

Two games, two losses, 7 goals conceded.

Charlton got a last minute winner

I guess I'm going to have to figure out how to pronounce Thiaw.

Why out of interest?

Scored. Deserved to be fair, they've been the better side.

Penalty Wrexham. It's soft, but its so stupid from the Southampton player.

That Southampton kit may be one of the worst striped kits i've ever seen. It's honking.

This is the 4th time we've done it since Howe came in, and its worked well each time and other clubs also seem to do it to. Its probably a way of benchmarking players, give the whole squad a full 90 minutes, and see which players are at the required fitness and which are lagging behind a touch.

For whats its worth, in the previous two back to back games, Howe has never played a full strength team, this was the two 11's last year: Vs. Girona: Pope, Livramento, Krafth, Burn, Hall, Longstaff, J.Miley, Joelinton, J.Murphy, Gordon, Isak Vs. Brest: Dubravka, Trippier, Schar, Kelly, Lewis, Al.Harrison, Guimaraes, Willock , Almiron, Osula, Barnes

I want to believe that Edwards article, but earlier in the summer he posted an article that Trafford was going to sign, only for it to be wrong, with Trafford heading to Man City 7 minutes later

I wouldn't be surprised if it's something like this:
