When Percy's in this mood, it's like arguing with my wife. You're best just nodding and getting on with something else.

I suspect it'll be Konsa-Torres-Mings-Dinge/Maatsen or Cash-Konsa-Torres-Digne/Maatsen if ever we get all our players back without any more getting injured in the meantime, depending on opposition.

I know we have two good left-backs - but I do wonder if Torres could play there too when Tyrone is back playing.

I think you then lose the good thing about him which is his distribution from the middle of defence. That strikes me as trying to fit him in for the sake of it, rather than it being best for the team. We've seen with Konsa that out-of-poition centre backs are OK as a stop gap measure, but long term it's not a good idea.

It would only work as a 3 at the back or an in-game switch to 3. Still doesn't solve RB/RWB issue. I think Tyrone will play some games but Pau will be preferred.

I think it was mentioned by Mings about where/how he would play with Torres - that the left side could be an option

When all fit and firing, we have a lot of choice - even maybe a back three with wingbacks - Maasten could do the role on the left - however the right side would be an issue.

I think we're going to get battered, sadly. An inept defence and too many players like Ramsey and Bailey who are nowhere near their best.

I think we'll win handsomely on Wednesday and gift those bastards a win at the weekend.

I doubt we will see much of Mings this season.  Maybe the odd sub cameo when we're comfortably in the lead.

Some players looked really rusty. A lot of awful first touches from some.

We'll really need to be on our game Wednesday Night.

The ref was junk.

A draw away from home is never a bad result really. Bad performance but they happen. Very good start to the season, just the usual misery arses on here who become 'very worried' the minute we don't play well e every single game.

Well at least we got a draw at a difficult place to go.

Konsa and Carlos both made big errors for the second.

We've a few players either new signings or returning from injury, who are not quite up to speed yet.

Still, our best start to a league campaign in 25 years, and we didn't lose.

Watkins has 4 goals and 3 assists in his last few games, so he's on form again.

Has it been pointed out enough how definitely sent-off Sam Morsy should've been? Can't remember the last time I saw someone so absolutely sent-off without actually getting the card and the point-off-the-pitch gesture.

It was ridiculous. Laughable in all honesty.

Billing for Bournemouth at home the year we came back up. Howe subbed him at HT.
