    It is fascinating to read what our players have said about the Bruce fitness and training regimes, ie countless days off, short training sessions and them being totally unfit and out of shape for matches. Thus they'd normally start games OK, then by 60 minutes be knackered cos they were so unfit.

    They all say the change in training under Howe was a revelation.

    I suppose drink driving is one of the few accusations that can’t be used against the Saudis

    Wasn't Lloris done for similar? I said then and I'll say it again that these fellas earn so much money why don't they have a driver? Unless it was 2 glasses of wine over lunch and thought he'd be OK, let he without sin etc

    I suspect the driving laws in Brasil are rather more relaxed?

    But it would seem with only one or two exceptions they weren’t professional enough to get themselves fit. Bruce was at fault, Ashley was at fault but the players collectively were also at fault.

    And that’s from someone who didn’t want Bruce from day one as the end result was inevitable.

    Do we start Isak or Wilson?

    I hope Joelinton starts also because our midfield is weaker without him
