We so miss Merino in the middle of the park

Sean Dyche is quite full of himself - so hope we win.

is he injured?

Not so - was 50/50 - late fitness test today.

Damn it !!

Gambled on Coutinho to play .. also gambles Man U v Spurs is 0-0

^this

Am sure when Ashley was buying the club the papers mentions a massive war chest.

His pass to Yedlin? (I think it was) in the 1st half - inch perfect - was Shelvey like.

He's a step up on Dummett - that'll do me for now.

He didn't have one shot on target - ran with the ball a bit, did a few twists and turns but there was zero end product.

There is no connection between him and Joselu. At least with Mitro the two seem to have an understanding.

Can run with a ball but can't do anything with it. Give me Richie any day.

I wouldn't - hopeless player - was glad he left especially as we got Richie as his replacement.

Awful half of football. Need Merino

Gamble didn't pay off last week - so kept a steady ship. Did move Lukaku out for Mortata.

Love Rafa He's single handedly trying to drag this club out of the gutter.

Looking forward for today - recon atmosphere is going to be buzzing Going for 3-0 with Lejeune to score a header

Am hoping the fact Ashley wants a quick sell he got his lawyers to get sort out all the relevant paper work ready.

I agree. As I said earlier - how is this any different to when he put the club up for sale last time? Just an excuse not to spend in Jan imo.

What this tells me is currently there are no interested parties and this is a hit and hope

Need a fans buy out..We can pay a few quid over the next 1,000 years
