Looks we'll be seeing a lot of Lascelles over the next month.

Erm...we'd be deep in shite if Schar or Botman got injured. Lascelles and Dummett did very well yesterday, credit to them, but let's not go overboard eh? There's a significant drop in quality between them and our first choice CBs. Even with Burn at CB we've already had a taste of how it can go agianst top sides. Schar and Botman have been world class, they've gone up against the best and come out on top week after week.

I think he was pissed off about the constant Phillips questioning, and I liked he showed his annoyance at it. Phillips is basically a 3rd team player for him now , doesnt give a shite that he's not getting enough game time to be in good touch for England. Not his fault Southgate keeps picking shit players.

Also it's right after they play City in the league apparently so hopefully they'll be knackered.

Brings a tear to the eye that, how far the club has come in 2 years. Most of them thanking their lucky starts it's not at SJP.

And none of the other big boys draw each other again shockingly.

Oh well, we just arent going to get anything easy this season. Bring it on and take the game to them

Grealish was dog shite mind, icing on the cake.

Just looking at that starting defence, cant believe we've won this Credit to Lascelles and co tbf but Pep will be absolutely livid

The best thing for me is how we grind out performances when we're up against it. Milan away, today first half. Newcastle of old would have crumbled, now we stick around and give ourselves a chance even with squad players involved. Amazing what a great coach and some organization can do.

Brilliant second half. We looked liked the team from last season. Lascelles and Dummett did well, can't believe we've kept a clean sheet here A couple of moments when Lascelles floundered and Tino bailed him out, I thought he was very very good. City were shite going forward werent they? Ddint do much in the final third.

Bruno seems in one of his moods today.

Ah Gordon couldnt get a shot off there. Been some good play between Tonali and Joe this half. What a massive different Joelinton makes for us though.

Hope Isak is ok. Looks like Gordon up front.

Bruno and Isak both down.......

Brilliant from Joe that. Get in!

Well that was shite but we're in the game because City have been pretty gland in the final third. What a waste of a finish from Murphy from the best chance of the game. Didn't seem confident at all and seemed like a half hearted attempt.

ESPN with a timely reminder that we should be facing Fulham today if not for the blunder during the draw

MF t Clutching at sausages here

Next to Targett, baptism of fire for Livramento here.

Holy crap that defence Eddie pointing a 100 ft flashing neon sign on the area of the squad needing stregthening now.

Right then. I'm of the view we need to rotate and prioritize the league and PSG next week. Isak, Tonali, Murphy are the easy ones to bring in. Perhaps Tino and Hall too, even Miley? The CBs should probably get a rest too but that's where it gets tricky as we know who's waiting in the wings Surely Lascelles has to come in at some point though, no way Schar and Botman keep playing 3 games a week regularly.

Aye tons of reaction about feeling sorry or sympathetic for Sheffield Utd players? Why ffs? Rich men just got promoted to playing in the best league in the world and put in a half arsed performance in front of their home crowd. Yeah THAT is what needs sympathy these days. They got absolutely what they deserved.

Cant see it either but if that's the Icardi 'penalty' its certainly worth a look

But his role and place has been questioned lately. Which makes sense in the way that we haven't clicked with him and Bruno together. It's something that needs time though as Howe has been saying, roles will evolve.
