I know that giving the whole squad game time is 100% the right thing to do but I wanted to see more of Bouba, so slightly annoyed nonetheless..

If Traore and Bailey want to have some serious game time this season, they need to do a lot more than get the ball and pass it back to Digne or Cash.

Two wingers and two wing backs doesn’t work. Way too congested in those areas of the pitch and we are being left light in numbers in the middle in attack and defence
It works for Liverpool.

Bailey and Traore played very narrow at times and drifted wide as needs be.  Just because we haven't lit it up doesn't mean the system can't work.

Jota or Mane and Salah aren’t wingers. More traditional forwards who play either side of the central striker. And they are so much better than what we have.

Nearly a goal for Archer after some magic from Buendia.

Second half XI.

Incredible to think Konsa was due back from injury in September and he's already playing.

Aaron Ramsey, Chrisene and Feeney are the only unused outfield subs so far.

Better so far, KKH and Buendia are creating problems for them. This shape works much better, we're not getting crowded out in the middle of the pitch now.

Critchley isn't in Australia. Passport woes.

Cam is quick and direct. Nearly got on the end of that long ball from Mings
