Obvious pen. Won‘t be given.

Someone needs to put one on Assencio. Horrible little shithouse.

Utter wank. Two hammerings against a decent but no more Aussie team.

Docile pitch, against a one-man bowling attack. Yet you know we‘ll be all out inside 40 overs.

The lion, surely?

42% of the ball last night. Against Fulham. With just about our strongest team, minus Rodri. It‘s mad that we‘ve chosen to go this way, and effectively given up on what made us one of the best teams in the world for so long.

Robbie Fowler?

Donnarumma, Nunes, O‘Reilly, Dias, Nico G, Bernardo, Foden, Doku and Haaland pretty much pick themselves. I‘d play Stones. Choice between Gvardiol and Cherki for the last spot. Gvardiol at left back, with O‘Reilly left of a midfield three. Or Cherki from the right and Foden as the 10 in front of...

It‘s a shithouse trick, and criticism is deserved. Of course there‘s an unevenness in how it is being spoken about now we‘ve done it. But that‘s hardly a surprise.

Great save. Nowt wrong with the challenge for me. There to go for.

How has that pudding become so effective in that role?

Obvious red. Never going to be anything elsd

Red, I reckon. Or yellow for the challenge, and a second for pretending to be injured.

Watching that challenge again - still can‘t get my head around it. Utterly bizarre.

Piss poor. Should be out of sight. Dropping points here would be embarrassing.

Hopefully Bernardo and Reijnders either side of Gonzalez. And not Bernardo out on the right wing!

Definitely a shout for that as our best shape. The 3-2 has been the basis of all our best teams under Pep - whether a fullback becoming part of the two, or Stones from centre half. Don‘t see any reason why you couldn‘t try it with two proper No. 6s. Gives us back the four in the centre of...

Lewis is another who would be absolutely fine if we were still the side of a few years back - as one of the very few lesser players in the squad who could occasionally come in and do a clearly defined, limited job in a well-grooved system. The Zinchenko role of just stepping in from fullback to...

Probably go with: ————Donnarumma——— Nunes-Dias-Gvardiol-O‘Reilly ———Bernardo-Nico——— —-Cherki-Foden-Doku— —————Haaland———— Poor at Newcastle, but the set-up that was working prior to that match. Otherwise, maybe throw O‘Reilly into the midfield: ——-——-Donnarumma————...
