I wonder who the unhappy camper is who is leaking team news.

I was certain Jose Antonio Reyes was going to be top drawer back in the day.

Can tell folk are bored and are ready to go back to work like.

“Have you done the homework, Pep? Can I copy?” ”Yes Michael you can, change it up a little though, don’t make it look obvious.” ”Aiight, bet.”

I noticed he doubled down on the passion right before his error, hilariously enough.

The balls on Pickford to still go mad at his defence man.

Though I do think KaKa was right when he said we should sign McNeil. Always looks a tidy player and think he’s getting better.

Pickford flopping at it like a sad little mackem Magikarp with tiny little arms.

Looks lost on the other side of Bruno. Trippier marshals him well on the right.

Stand him up for fucks sake man, why back off?

Must win game for me, this. Not overly worried, we’re looking a bit better in possession than we have been recently and Isak is enjoying more support. Just need to cut out the little mistakes, we’re inviting the attack.

Needs to be a win today and I think it will be. 3-0.

It was a take it on the chin game. It's been a ridiculously tough run that really, we're coming through better than most would have imagined given the injuries and fixtures piling up. Another game where pre-match I'm looking at the subs before the first 11, hoping someones back.

Willocks the one for me like. I think the strikers especially will be desperate for him to be back up and running.

Nee bother Eddie, get me a pint on Boxing Day.

Hasn’t been an ideal time to do it with the lack of training sessions, but we really need to look at a different formation.

May yet transpire that he stays. Obviously a bit of a ballache if he goes, with having to wait for him to start his role here after agreeing but he is replaceable. I don't think our plans for the next 3 or 4 windows change at all, and everything else is still in early stages ready for whoever to step in, if Ashworth leaves that is.

Howe not yet aware that the fanbase have decided he doesn’t fancy him.

Thrusted into the net. HE DOESNT MISS THOSE.

Deserves it, well done to the lad.

Some beautiful vision by Bruno on show here.

You’d think of all people, Jimenez would think twice about flying in like that.

Hard lines, glad we chased the winner it was the right thing to do. We’ll be back.

Milan haven’t shown up thus far, but we look very good. Looking after the ball far better and it’s making a big difference. Very little pressure for us to deal with and not too much chance of a swift counter if we keep that up. First half we beat Milan, second half we battle the nerves. Have to keep this going.

I've a feeling BDB starts.
