Remember watching it before the League Cup final earlier this year, got me. Then the match happened, need to get Howay the Lads chant returned for cup matches at least.

It feels a bit wrong spinning the positives on players getting injured but I'd feel it less if it wasn’t for the absolute mess we're in.

It's a bit concerning isn't it. Hopefully they're just keeping things in house and he's recovering. Half expecting an announcement that he now needs surgery, but I'm a pessimist.

The Keegan, Jinky Smith ect references my particular highlight.

As I thought, Wilson must be fit for this given he's in the England aquad.

Lose and we'll likely drop two places going into the break.

As I've said I get your point of view. But ,for me, winning something would be incredible. Obviously I'd much rather that be the CL but being realistic we'd have a better chance in this years EL. I think my mentality has changed as I get older. Last year's cup final hit me more than most so another go at that (League Cup) or the EL this season which resulted in us actually winning something is more important for me.

I think Wilson plays.

Can understand those being "all in" for the CL but we're now dealing with the reality of here and now. Dropping into the EL would enhance any chance of actually winning something. This could still be the greatest season in most folks living memory.

Always thought Europa was an achievable goal this season. Hopefully we have an opportunity in the final group match to secure a place. Obviously still some good teams but, much like the League Cup, we've a chance of going all the way.

Not started at all well. Bruno and Joelinton not touched the ball.

Yep, the circus will have moved on.

A great watch, especially for the neutral.

Was on Talksport this morning. Ended his career there at 41 years old playing in same team as his, then 16, son.

Gerrin man.

Ah OK, read your post wrongly then.

Would've been a red if he had?

Love that he's educated on how he plays and therfore fits into the system. Him and Willock are both maturing into great players.

Lovely goal, plenty time to get great connection

Even if Burns back is just a bruising type injury i doubt he'll play on Tuesday. Give Tino another start in a massive, high profile, game.

On bench? Good news

Timely goal.

Aye, got it on for same reason.

I'm thinking from a Europa League qualification angle. Couple of draws gets us 3rd and a greater chance of actually winning something.

Snap your hands off for 3 points today and a draw on Tuesday.
