His best is fucking miles better than Heskey's best. That touch and finish for his second goal, Heskey couldn't have done that in his dreams. At his worst though yeah I see the comparison.

That's a league cup starting eleven.

Bit different with Ox, he was leaving Arsenal that summer come what may, Chelsea had a bid accepted for him. Eriksen could be the new experienced squad member for us if he joins on a free in summer, but i don't really think we'll be in for him. He wouldn't play in our front three, and even if Milner, Lallana and Shaqiri all leave, he still wouldn't be first choice in our midfield either.

Would have liked to see a bit more rotation for this one, Brighton play decent football and like to try and play their way out of trouble. We all know what a full pitch Klopp press can do against sides like that. We don't need creativity today, we need energy.

He needs to knock the international shite on the head if he wants to make it here. If he'd jibbed the ACON and worked harder on rehab and integrating with out style of play over the summer then he'd be playing. He's got amazing potential and he was great for Leipzig but it's not looking rosy for him at the moment. Honestly think if someone would pay us a similar sum as what we paid for him he'd be sold, but right now I doubt we'd get half, even. Maybe he could be useful as a makeweight in a deal for Sancho in the summer if his reputation in Germany is still good.

Pochettino looked like he needed a very long break after the Champions League final and has only got more stressed out since. Not sure he'd be the best option for the Mancs right now, especially given their best players don't particularly like training hard.

Keita hasn't been fully fit for us since the Barca game away last season, he fucked himself up even more over the summer playing Guinea, has had a few knock-on effects since then as well, and he's off playing for his national team? Who the fuck signed that one off?

Will be four minimum

Wilder is an excellent coach. Pleased to see them doing well.

Was he this injury prone in Germany?

Neco Williams has had an interesting night, overplayed it at times and got skinned by Saka too often but he looks pretty good going forward.

Don't think Gomez has been that bad, he'd look loads better alongside Van Dijk as well.

Second stonewall penalty inside a minute, glad the ref gave that one.

I don't think Gazzaniga had an amazing game, i mean he obviously wasn't doing a Mignolet out there but all the saves he made are ones you'd expect the keeper to be making at this level. Our finishing wasn't as sharp as it could have been.

This lad has made me forget the dark days of Henderson and Emre Can playing as the deepest midfielder for us.
