Gordon. I don't approve of this BTW I'm merely the interpreter.

It's the Headless Chook.

0.94 v 0.26

I wouldn't hang about getting Isak on in the second half. Wilson is not gonna play himself out of this slump on form, he needs a break.

Trippier definitely stuck his leg out there.

Wilson man. Do one.

Maxi and Isak on in the second half. This is far too easy for them, they've got fuck all to worry about. I'm fucking sick of watching Wilson at the minute. Even his press looks half hearted.

Little porky fucker this ref. He looks fucked.

Foden v Burn is a tough watch.

Fuck sake. Dead easy.

Gordon got the first touch right too. The shot, less so.

Sounds gnarly dude.

Good from Lascelles from the corner. We've missed that.

Ederson looking wobbly.

Nice caption up for Lascelles. "Made his PL debut in a 6-1 defeat against Man City in 2015"

Howe confirms Schar is a concussion.

Agree with this. Can't explain Wilson keeping his place but the rest is fine.

Ah you've paid to be up a height this weekend. Where you off?

Same instruction Nancy Dell'Olio used to get whenever she wore the strap-on.

Good shout actually. I'd love us to get back to scoring from set pieces. A towering header from Lascelles today would be an instant pants-spunker.

Actually Howe said no injury concerns when asked yesterday so maybe Schar has woken up with the squirts or picked something up since the press conference.

I completely missed that Lascelles is starting. Schar must have been concussed when sent back onto the pitch to play most of the match last week then. Canny.

Might also be recognition that Burn can't be exposed at LB against this lot.

If its a step in the direction of us recognising that we have a squad that needs to be rotated, fine. But it does seem harsh on ASM and incredibly generous to Wilson who was frankly dogshit at Wembley.

I want to see Targett back but I think it might be a mistake to hoy him back in at Man City away. I see no reason to persist with Wilson though. No point having competition for places if you don't drop players when they're underperforming.
