    Seelt should not be loaned out thought him and Ballard were good.

    No point keeping him if he's going to be 4th or 5th choice tho - will never reach his potential unless he is playing

    Ballard and Alderete will be 1st choice for now, I still think we will bring in 1 more CB (possibly Lucumi) then you've got O9 - if that happened Seelt would be 5th choice

    Exactly marra, how does the likes of xhaka and Rodri appear not to do much but are brilliant and essential cogs in a midfield
    Full time whistle i can’t remember being so proud of our club, from the dark days of league one to competing in the premier league…..hoping it’s not a dream

    This! Dan was immense today and what a performance from the whole team. The atmosphere was incredible today. The fans were loud and proud. Well done to all you lucky people that were in the stadium today making yourselves heard.

    You don't need pace when you can read the game Bobby Moore was a great example

    Omar was good, but in one of his interviews RLB mentioned some tweaks to deal with Paquieta better so tactical I think.

    That match was one of the best I’ve seen at the SOL entertainment wise

    Me and my dad said it was actually enjoyable to watch the quality of football on display

    The PL is like a different sport compared to the champ

    Not sure what exactly changed second half will look forward to the lad on twitter who does the videos (hopefully keeps them up in Prem). I thought we played more longer balls second half with the wingers higher up and had their defenders running towards their goal quite a few times but didn’t see that first half.

    Aye I was thinking I'd love an alt-ending explanation but don't think he'll be allowed to post video now.

    I agree. We definitely went more direct in the second half. RLB working his magic again.

    So after watching MOTD anyone still think we need another striker to get us goals this season?
