    Tonali is still getting up to speed but looks a class above the rest of our team. We've got a few very good players but only two who I'd say should be fighting for titles and he's one of them (the other being Isak). They'll not be with us in a year or two if we're still struggling to push for 5th/6th and I wont blame them.

    Draw was probably the right result tonight, like I've said before I like Dyche and it was good to see 15 English players on the pitch at kick off and 2 English managers.

    A patched up back line against a side without a striker. Probably about right for the draw.

    Took his goal really well. Hopefully gives him some confidence to go on a run now.

    Spurs getting a 0-0 at Chelsea in the early days of Mourinho delivered Slot this trophy so I don’t see why you can’t have one too.

    So far they’ve beaten United, San Marino, the Derby 11 points team, Tranmere, Doncaster Belles and the Soccer Aid World XI. Let them be over-excited for now.

    I really rate him. Probably a player who would have looked better in the 442 days with a big fat bloke alongside him and he’s now destined to be transferred for £15m every two years to a newly promoted or newly relegated team like Dwight Gayle. Forever too good for our **** league but not good enough for a mid-table team to take him.

    I've liked the look of him but generally we don't play the way to suit him which is frustrating. He seems to thrive on balls in behind from a quick counter which is how we scored yesterday but we're normally allergic to counter attacks and prefer to keep the ball allowing defences to reset.
