Hoping Kepa being dropped and Silva leading the team out will do a lot for our defence today.

Where did an extra 5 minutes come from?

Have a feeling this will be overturned

Fernandes giving away a PK. What a sight!

Has to start tomorrow. Really is as simple as that.

Martinez does it again in the Super Cup

Should he leave, we'll be losing even more experience at the back. I'd personally prefer to keep him over some of the other options. Putting a lot of hope on Silva remaining fit in that regard.

The scoreline certainly doesn't tell the whole story

Shocking miss!

Kai has been really good

Fortunately, Willy's in goal or we'd be behind.

Pleased to see Kepa given the night off and CHO getting a start. Hoping for a convincing win

Very surprised to see him seemingly being pushed out. Odd decision

Ah, okay. Sky normally seem to make sure there's some sort of truth in the rumour before reporting it.

That seems crazy. How much would they be after without the clause, £40-50m?

What might have been had AC actually been awake. One silver lining - Kepa's last league start for a while.

When it goes wrong, it looks dreadful. In the league*

Who slated someone on here at the suggestion of Willy starting today? That's why!

So stupid. Will now be on the back foot for the rest of the game.

Not a fan of us having literally no width again

I can see him ending up at Arsenal True. Pleased to see him thriving elsewhere. I doubt he'll be coming back here anytime soon tbh.

It's just a shame some sort of buy-back clause wasn't part of the equation. Sure it will only be a matter of time till he joins one of our direct rivals.

There's no way we can be starting with a back 4 if Alonso is playing.

Can see some call going in Utd's favour to grab a point

Fulham going to have the same issues as two seasons ago. Leak goals for fun & don't seem to have any real attacking threat.
