We don't appear to be playing with a striker.

Rogers, Ramsey, Rashford and McGinn are all taking up the exact same positions that they would be if Watkins were also playing.

Suggest Rashford should be more central and further up?

We’ve reverted to this walking football again. Bit static in midfield.

Cash makes me nervous at the best of times, but whenever I see him swig a Red Bull in the tunnel before a game, even more so. He's the last player who should be drinking that. His default mode is "frantic".

BHFC 8-3 Villa

After 30 minutes, they're on track for 24 fouls.. its plainly obvious and the referee needs to set a precedent.
