We've got a few of them. Thankfully Thiago isn't one of them.

I'm surprised he's not asking to go in goal after 5 minutes. "No Blammers lads"

I don't blame refs or the fa. I'm surprised you can't see how good Thiago can be.

They were both good today, but they won't fix the midfield issue that we are now faced with - deep sitting well organised defences. Fab will play DM, and we need two dynamic midfielders who are comfortable committing defenders and have imagination with the ball. Thiago is one of them. Can the other be Jones? Henderson can fill in in any number of roles, CB, DM, RB etc - but he shouldn't be taking up a non-DM berth in midfield unless we're short of players. Thiago is really good - he needs more games to make his link up play with the forwards more instinctive, but I really enjoyed his all-round play today.

The front players are receiving the ball too late. Our midfield needs to take the initiative rather than pass the ball sideways while the opposition settles and organises.

He makes things happen. Right now, we've got Firmino offering nothing , and wasting good chances. We need to get Jones and Thiago taking people on, making runs from midfield, committing defenders and making space for the front players.

This is fab

indeed. Thank god she wasn't filmed earlier when she pulled his boxers off.

but she's good with the kids

Well now I’ve had both vaccinations I’m invincible. I’m off down the Asda to lick some shopping trolley handles.

Jota and Thiago bring a massive uplift to this team

Jones invisible so far. No link between mf and forwards. Every ball just a bit shitter than it needs to be.

Happy birthday Mick - have a great day

Jimmy and Wes have a few Christmas tunes as well if you want to get them on your playlists...

got quite emotional watching that - I'll be a mess watching the fillum
