    Just laughing at Birmingham fans getting peed off about Tyler Robert’s. He has missed the last 21 games due to his latest injury and only played 61 minutes since he arrived in Brum. So Orta did great with Robert’s, Bamford and Firpo but the 2 at Leeds hurt us last season and done nothing for us this season too

    Some want to get rid of Ayling, Cooper, Firpo and Bamford

    Then there's also been forum talk of letting Meslier and Gnonto go and that's before we even get started on Cresswell plus Joffy going out on loan

    Have you been sleeping <laugh>

    Roma imploding as they get a totally avoidable red card and concede just a minute later.

    1-1.

    Tony D on co-commentary.

    Superb overlapping run from Kristensen nearly led to a Roma goal but then Lukaku picks up Roma's second red stopping the counter attack.

    4 mins left for 9 man Roma to try and hang on.

    Well two of the eight are now contributing nothing. It’s dubious if two others will get back to once what they were at their best, two haven’t really broken into the first team and two I’d keep till the end of the season.

    Finished 1-1 and good performances from Llorente & Kristensen who both played the full game.

    Don't want either of them back but at least there is the potential to recoup fairly decent money at some point in the future <ok>

    There's a lot more to a squad dynamic than who starts on any given Saturday and Farke realises the value in keeping wise old heads within the group whilst also expecting younger players to work hard and keep their heads down. It's possible we've all become too accustomed to player power in recent years but we now seem to have manager who quietly and confidently rules the roost.

    Lots of paper talk about Spurs wanting Ben Godfrey from Everton the same said about Struijk, but there are some who say that’s not right and to keep watching Godfrey to Leeds on loan with a view to joining Leeds if Promoted. Everton paid Norwich £20m in 2020 and in a crap Everton season last year he played all across the back line, but has fallen out with Dyche and only played once this season.

    Could it happen?
    Norwich connection
    CB was a position FARKE tried to fill in the summer
    Godfrey can play LB
    Everton have no money
    Everton will want a deal for Harrison
