Make a mistake with the benefit of multiple slow-mo replays at different angles.

Need a spot in the 25 man squad but counts towards homegrown requirement of 8 (we have plenty).

Based on absolutely nothing, can see two loans, two permanents in.

Excluding Trippier and Wood monies? If so, think it will be lower than 100m.

Seriously, all the French-born African central midfielders playing in France and we cannot get one in?

Recalled Jonas being a right footer being played on the left. Once, we put him on the right wing and he proceeds to send in a cross with his weaker left foot...

Ya, Bakker, Botman, Ekitike, Badiashile won't count towards 25-man squad limits.

That could have been a nasty break.

Unlikely to happen but Pickford Vs Sunderland would be fun.

I think he has served the club to his best but his future here will be clearer if we bring in Bakker or Gosens.

Used to be Southampton, but now Chelsea and Man City have the best academies in the country.

Woot?

So 31 Jan permanent transfer deadline for English league clubs. Are Championship clubs allowed to get loans in after that? Going to be hectic days for some players (currently two out for Trippier and Wood) once we conclude our signings late on. If we get U21s like Botman, Badiashile, Bakker, Ekitike in, they won't need squad lots.

Oh, yes I did yesterday. Today is post-match analysis.

Wilson's back end of Feb? So that's another four games that Wood can hopefully find an understanding with the team and contribute more.

Going Rafa-esque critique even when you score a goal. Longstaff didn't react when the ball was lost. Nobody offered a passing option to Longstaff until Manquillo took it on him to run down the left flank (Dummett wouldn't have done that). No passing lanes available for Manquillo so he had to keep running. Leeds players on the other hand, were more fluid in moving to the next phases.

And he went on to play for Real Madrid.

A win here and Everton will be in the relegation mix. Believe that we will also have a few players making their debuts.

He disappears in too many games for him to be considered useful. Once we secure survival and get to the summer, would like to see him replaced.

Hope the players work on getting a better understanding of each other with this training camp. Those stray passes and lack of movement are so infuriating.

Hmm time to give the captain's armband to Trippier in the time that he will be out, then pretended he never existed once we get a new CB and move on?

Provided an option for the ball and made the run for that FK when others would have been content just sitting back.

Slight chance that Everton and Brentford will be dragged into relegation worries too. Hopefully we can get new signings in and a few more wins on the trot, then go clear in the next few weeks.

Good performance today.
