El Rojo

Should have gone for him when he was available for about £15m. Good footballer. Is he vastly better than Harry Wilson though? They’d seem to be at a relatively similar level to me. Both take their haircut game seriously in true stud style too.

I’d be making my three substitutions now if I was that Watford manager.

Tell you what, Manchester City will know they’ve been in a game today.

More goals already this season than <Liverpool Player X>. Klopp being found out by Eddie Howe.

Napoli at home to us over the last few years are like us away to Man United when we used to snatch unlikely 1-0 wins with Danny Murphy goals. Great for the victors at the time but ultimately meaningless in terms of how those competitions end up.

They’re very much our bogey-team. We’ll both qualify from the group. Onwards and upwards. Let’s make sure we beat Chelsea on Sunday.

I’m hearing that Fabian Delph may not have been a key factor behind Manchester City’s recent success.

Arsenal showing tremendous character but just lacking that wee bit of not being Arsenal.

It’s a game on Tuesday and a game on Sunday early in the season. We’ll play strong teams in both. Hendo and Bobby will replace Ox and Divock on Tuesday with the rest as expected.

In fairness to Shelvey, he called Ferguson a grass to his face when he got sent off against Man United back in the day. Probably a season highlight in those bleak days.

£34m for Iwobi was one of the strangest transfers in recent years. Whatever they were smoking over at the Emirates that day must have tasted extra special.

That colour scheme is much nicer than the general release. Might invest.

Maybe you should watch Alisson a little more closely when he’s back. His positioning and anticipation is phenomenal, which means he rarely has to pull off ridiculous saves. It most likely wouldn’t have been as difficult a save for him because he would have been lined up better when the shot was taken. Again, no criticism of Adrian, he’s done a really good job in difficult circumstances.

You almost had me until the last paragraph! Quality tribute to the comments section of a particularly horrific newspaper.

He’s done fine so far but he’s a good few levels below Alisson. He’s playing to the best of his ability and that’s all we can ask. Alisson would have made that goal look a comfortable save, I’m convinced. That says more about Alisson than Adrian though.
