OK

If only he had real pace he'd be a world beater.

We'll get a chance to see where he is on Tuesday. I don't think we should put too much expectation on the lad.

I'm not too unhappy with the situation at the half.

We didn't make the most of that.

Who has dominated them?

In the build up to the goal.

Even though I would not have introduced him yet, Pulli is still the most likely member of our squad to do something devastating so adding his threat is a plus anyway.

Kova for Hakim is what I'd have done. Kai to the wider role.

Ziyech to James is becoming a real engine for us.

I'm glad some of you aren't in the stadium. We aren't playing significantly differently than we have in recent games. We're just being asked more questions.

The angle of Bamford's run meant there could be no danger if Mendy had not come.

No way Bamford scores if Mendy stays at home.

I wouldn't go that far but I would shift to feeling a bit more positive about our prospects. For me many of our recent good results have been achieved by exploiting a softer part of our schedule. I would take a strong, winning, performance today as a very encouraging sign.

Only one surprise for me, I thought Kova would be in.

This all makes sense to me and I would add that Kova is in great form too which makes Saturday's team one of the most difficult selections Frank has faced so far this season. This also makes sense to me though I would find it very hard to leave Timo out.

So happy about this. For Blues' fans of my vintage only the Tottenham game compares.

I think Kova's current form makes him undropable this weekend. Kai to start on Tuesday maybe?

I'd say Lewis Bate should be first in the queue.

I'm afraid you simply don't know what you're talking about. You are very wrong about this. Very, very wrong. I don't know who you are referring to here but yes, of course, some were financially successful. Most needed to take ordinary, low paying, jobs after their careers. Some in England are supported by welfare grants from the PFA, Twas ever thus and trending toward the situation we have now. How do you suppose the super clubs became super?

I'd be interested to read why you don't like the current system. Is it that it gives too much power to players and agents? I agree that there are good points and bad in the 'new' system but I still prefer it to the old because, in the end, the old system treated players, human beings after all, like indentured servants. Their professional lives pretty much belonged to their employers. If they signed a contract with a club they could never play for another club unless the original club agreed and their compensation demand (transfer fee) was met. That was so even if the contract had expired. The system was absolutely immoral and was always going to fall apart as soon as it faced a proper legal challenge. .

I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong about the others. Quite the opposite. I'm still struggling to come up with the other two names though.
