Great to hear Howe say that he scored best on their fitness tests, this and the confidence building (for the staff and him) goals preseason, bold well for a fantastic season ahead for the lad.

No tears, but does seem a low price, relatively speaking. But he/someone of value had to go, it seems, so far enough.

I think the post by @Ash2579 would have seemed ridiculous at the mid point of last season. Bruno is still my favourite player to watch, when he’s on it. I do feel his form, not his class, has fallen off. Rather than us fretting about him being picked off by a bigger team, hoping we get to enjoy him returning to influencing games in the way he has shown he can. Really excited to see how he dovetails with Tonali. Also hope he stops doing the ‘feel a player behind you and fold from the middle’ thing he seems to do at least once a game. It’s beginning to look predicable, get on my tits, and regardless of any tactical advantage the hoped for free kick may bring, it makes him look weaker than he is.

Thought this thread had been put out to pasture after last season. I created a Top Six tracking thread for this season, happy to move that stuff here if you’d prefer @Rich

Who played the pseudo Schar?

Beauty!!!!

Unlucky young Parky.

Fuck was that from Targett!!

Well played the young guns!

Jesus surely should have scored.

Would have liked to see a left footed screamer form Barnes there.

Oof, fell to right man. Shame .

Redemption from Pope.

Fucking dumb 'n' Dummet man.

Welcome home, bonny lad.

Lascelles isn't suited to quick passing out form the back, that's the second time he has fucked up.

Well, we're second best (just about) not surprising with 9 men out, but enjoying this.

Club website, if you're outside the UK, Ireland, USA... or can get there.

Unlucky Barnesy, more of that please!

Good spot for a free kick

Sneaky little kick from Bruno on Dahoud

Well done Ashby again.

Ok, it has all gone to shit since I posted this... I can only apologise.

Nice tackle Ashby. Make shift defence looking canny.

Great run from New Joe (Harvey)... going to be an open game.
