Only one man in the squad for the 7-2 and the 0-6 thumping in 2016.

Young Keinan watched on from the bench in both.

Not really done anything of note in between? Wasn’t in the squad last night, no recognised striker on the bench is worry. Injured? He seems to be made of chocolate if so. Worrying if we pick up any injuries to Watkins.

Cazoo so far:

Everton 4 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses

Aston Villa, 4 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses

Are they giving us performance enhancing drugs?

 

Nah their just driving is to the league title lad 

Imagine if we did sign Benrahma. This guy wouldn’t be getting a game and you can just imagine how much defensive work Benrahma wouldn’t do. Trez just needs confidence and we’re seeing the best of him and great to see a player work so hard and earn there wages for a change!

Looks a completely different player to the one who joined us last year. Deserves huge credit for the hard work he has clearly put in - not the most technically gifted but really seems to get the most out of his talent.  I've become a real fan of his effort and endeavour 

Always thought that. Read back through my posts on him and always defended him, hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t try. Plus he’s scored some of the biggest goals in our clubs recent history last season. Glad others are starting to see him for what he’s worth.

I’m not suggesting we are going to win the league and as such won’t comment too much on this thread, but it’s nice to dream big and also the so called big 6 look like they are coming back to the rest of the pack. No wonder they are looking to make changes to the top flight and safe guard there position and muscle. We must not let that happen.

He did OK. Worst Brazil players on the pitch imo were Marquinhos and Caio , who both got done for Peru goals. Coutinho and Firmino were also disappointing.

A couple of times I thought he could have done better tracking a midfield runner but he spent most of the game covering for the LB who was pushed up like a winger and didn't seem to have much interest in getting back so maybe a little harsh. Gave away a lot of soft fouls too, although that's not limited to him as I don't think I've ever seen a game with so many freekicks.

Early on he played a good pass over the top to Richarlison who headed it down to Firmino a few yards out which probably should have resulted in a goal.

Watching that Brazil team I think he'll become an important player. They have so many players that always want to dribble with the ball and often lose it that it's important they have one more passer sitting deep with Casemiro.

Thank you Sam our resident South American corespondent.

Seems weird the test of the squad has been training all weekend and he’s been on holiday in Bournemouth for a few days. I mean can footballers book annual leave? Or has he been outcasted.

Pleased for him starting for Brazil and excelling like we know he can last night.

Im under no illusions that City will trigger the clause in the summer (hopefully they cant before then). They need him by the looks of things, I think he’s better than Rodri. 
 

We’ll make £20m out the deal, but he arguably was the biggest reason we ended up staying up last season, that cant be downplayed, so in those terms he’s been a big part of earning us another £100m+ and been able to push on like we have. The clause agreed with City was the only way the deal was going to be allowed so there wasnt much we could do about it, we’d have taken that deal every day of the week if we knew it would turn out like this so we cant really complain. Class player and he loves being here.

Well I’m sure his price would of gone up now being a international appearance clause so there’s probably more money they will have to pay, so £20 million plus and as you say he was single handily the reason we stayed up but he was a huge factor and as you said it’s well over £100 million to stay in premier league so you could say he’s made us nearly £150 million if he does go say next summer. Not bad business really is it?

There's absolutely nothing subconscious about his bias toward Liverpool.

Lol so true, Neville is good at hiding it a bit better when he does United. He did united on Sunday and Carragher did Liverpool why don’t they swap them? There was one point Carragher was just chuckling for about a minute which was unprofessional and a bit disrespectful  to us.

Just put story on Instagram of a blank picture and London in French. Looks like he’s off somewhere maybe a London club or Eurostar. Makes sense not being in any league squads. Shame I really liked him. 

Well happy with this witch doctor spell those tanzanians put on us

If only we could all be at the actual game... Imagine the atmosphere....

I’ve got a feeling all these high scoring games are a result of fans not being there. Less pressure more goals

All Our squad getting drug tested tomorrow 

We need to believe we can get something today. Be more like Leeds last night against city. This underlying belief that big teams just turn up and win needs removing from the game. I wouldn’t even take the draw I believe we can and will win. UTV

New youngster. Signed from Norwich for the academy. Anyone know anything about him?

Offer £10m + AEG + Lansbury + Jota 

Nice try but Brentford don’t work on that model and would no way pay there ridiculous wages.

He will be getting my full support this season. Can’t wait to see him in the first team and playing in the premier league. Much rather support a player who is a Aston Villa player than champion someone who plays for Werder Bremen and doesn’t want to sign for us.

How can this guy not even get in the carabao cup squad? He must be fine here. Shame I thought he looked ok.

I mean it’s about time we fluked one of these big games isn’t it Top of the league next Monday. Mark my words 

Welcome Ross. I hope it works out better than the last Ross

Man city and Woofs both losing big today. Not sure we can win the league, but Europe is wide open.

Whilst he's been far from a complete failure overall in his two years (he was part of the promotion team and scored in the play-off final), at premier league level he's cack and if we're going to improve, selling and upgrading El Ghazi is one of the most obvious moves to make.

Unfortunately I feel the same. It’s sad and He’s likeable but we need to get out of liking these very average players. He’s not cut out for the premier league he hides in nearly every game or feigns injury. He’d definitely be suited to a different league.

I think both Watkins and Cash were Smith signings. He knows the Championship very well.

Traore. Wasn't he a JT recommendation?

Martinez. Not sure on that one.

Wrong again villalad.
