Didn't feel like we needed him up until recently, but Savinho and Bobb are not progressing in the way I'd hoped. Too early to write either off, but does feel like we need a senior right winger right now. Would further limit Marmoush's minutes though, and possibly also Cherki's so not sure it...

Fair point, although I honestly don’t think Rice would’ve come regardless. He wanted to stay in London by all accounts. We didn’t balk at the fee.

He’d certainly provide the energy that our midfield currently lacks. Would be a decent fit I think, and his age/nationality/PL experience work in his favour. Doubt we’d pay anything like the figures quoted though.

Add World Snooker Champion Zhao Xintong to the list.

Rodri unavailable, as expected.

Yeah, it's a very clickbaity account that. I'm amazed they have 3m followers tbh.

This, on paper at least, should be an ideal fixture to get back on track after the recent setbacks. They're on a pretty dire run of form, and are there for the taking.

Couldn't tell you mate, not been myself!

It was midday for the Everton game.

Team picks itself. Same XI as at Newcastle.

Stones was the best of a bad bunch.

Got what we deserved after a frankly ridiculous team selection. All on Pep this one.

Well, that was as bad as we all feared it might be. No time to waste with the subs, get Haaland, Foden and Doku on straightaway.
