Trying to figure out what would be Roberto's go to first eleven if all players are fit. Working on the assumption that no more major ins and outs, I think RDZs absolute certainties to start are: Dunk, Caicedo, Gross, Lallana, Pervis. (RdZ always picks Gross and Lallana if they are available)...

Thought he played well last night. Not much he could do about the goals. Very comfortable on the ball. One dodgy pass, but his passes out to the wings were excellent. It will be interesting to see who gets the number one spot this season

I think when it was a first team squad v first team squad we were clearly the better side. Interesting that they were told to press once Veltman, Van Hecke, Dahoud and Caicrdo went off. Lots of positives from first 60 minutes. All the changes and stoppages over last 25 minutes made it fairly...

Ould actually like to see if he can play as a10. Don't think he's a right winger. Mind you, Gross ain't a right back, but that doesn't stop him

Yes, but he played most of the game against us. He's also only just finished the U21 competition a few weeks ago. Chelsea have another game in a couple of days. So without bursting all our expectations, this may just be squad rotation and getting many players up to speed as possible. I would...

For a friendly, it was OK. But at times it reminded me of the second Everton game. If a few of our mistakes had been converted by Brentford we could have lost that. Need to get a settled back 4 soon. Saying that Adingra and Pedro look very special. It will be a very exciting season ahead.

Given thatSanchez, Karbownik, Connolly and Zeqiri are likely to leave permanently and loans for Rushworth, Morgan and Leonard seem imminent, I would think there's scope for 2 or maybe 3 more first team signings (depending upon the Caicedo saga outcome) and of course a few U18/21 additions

I just hope Colwill is able to cope with the physicality of Toney....oh wrong thread.

These are all one season wonders, whereas Moises played an additional 7 games the season before. Wait until Christmas and the offers will come flooding in.

Off to West Brom on loan for the season. Hopefully he can stay fit. If so, I expect him to do well there

Just realised, I didn't update the scores at the weekend. I had left the big smoke and returned to beautiful Sussex (well, Haywards Heath) for family visits. I will try to update later if I get time.

Gosh, Spice Girls at Glyndebourne is almost Partridge-esque. Bound to happen one day. Agree that there is too much gushing in the presentation. Let the music speak for itself. BTW a Welsh newsreader was due to be presenting some of the Proms this year, but is now otherwise engaged.

Mostly I agree with you. I usually hate orchestral pop and rock music. The LSO doing Stairway to Hwaven is almost as bad as Rolf Harris doing it. However, those soul tunes were made for big orchestration and works really well.

I think he said 26th August on his 6Music show, but may have misheard
