I got a letter inviting me to book at one of several centres, which I did. Then a day before my appointment I got a text inviting me to go to a different centre that very day, which I declined as I already had an appointment. So maybe the whole thing is not entirely joined up - hardly...

I really hope the ICC / match referee take strong action against Kohli. That's three unacceptable bits of behaviour in the match. Otherwise I can see this abuse of umpires being copy-catted into local cricket. And while I'm in moan-mode, I'm not on board with the Foakes love-in. He's missed at...

Nice list, but are you sure about Alan Mullery 2 being above Russell Slade?

In my time the leading contenders in my opinion are: Pat Saward - great football and promotion from a very competitive div 3 Alan Mullery - double promotion to the top division Micky Adams - back to back champions (almost) Gus Poyet - unbelievable football in the third and second tiers...

Great sentiments

Game of opinions. For me Welbeck and Trossard are better options for the forward positions than Maupay. Then we hope that one of Zeqiri / Tau / Connolly develops to first team standard. We can't really expect the club to spend vast money at this time.

3-4-1-2 Sanchez White Dunk Burn Veltman Bissouma Lallana Alzate Mac Allister Trossard Welbeck

You want left-footed LCB but you don't mind. (very) right-footed LWB? I think Webby is two-footed enough to play on the left of the back three, and in the absence of Solly, BDB is best choice for wing back. For all that Alzate played quite well yesterday, he still gave the ball away badly on at...

I recently bought a pair of Merrell MOAB midlength (just over ankles) for about £90. Too soon to give a full report, but I am pleased with them. Comfortable, seem to be waterproof. I do country walks of 3-6 miles. Would be quite happy to wear them into a pub, if only...

Cannot talk about legends without including Kit Napier. And, before my time, Tommy Cook would surely have counted too. Would like to include also Peter O'Sullivan, Bruno and Calde. Agree that Ward, Zamora and Murray must all be included. These are the ones I'll remember and talk about anyway.

Surely we only "got a bit of control back" BECAUSE of the substitutions?

Agreed. We looked much better after the subs came on.

I'm also going to gamble on Joel and Mac being fit. So 3-4-3 Sanchez White Dunk Webster Veltman Gross Bissouma Burn Trossard Maupay Mac Allister

R M-Taylor might wager that you don't get away with playing White in two positions

Strongest team (assuming Joel and Mac fit) 3-4-3 Sanchez White Dunk Webster Veltman Bissouma Gross March Trossard Maupay Mac Allister

Same team 3-4-3 Sanchez White Dunk Webster Veltman Bissouma Gross March Trossard Maupay Mac Allister

Pretty much agree with all your scores and comments, especially about the subs situation. Possibly a slightly higher mark for Gross.

We've got an important game today. Tomorrow will do.

Would not "take" a draw. I want a win. But a draw, if it happens, would not be the end of the world, although the match thread may disagree. Obviously we need wins and points, but there are plenty of games to go. Good not to lose today though!
