No - just couldn’t think of Bachman Turner Overdrive……..l had to Google the song title.
It’s my age. I myself am a seriously grumpy old g1t.

He is an excellent player, neat and tidy etc., but makes about as much difference to our team as Jack Wilshire did in his teams before he was found out. Neat and tidy with 10 yd passes makes bugger all difference to teams who play our style of football. Potter seems to like him too, but honestly what's his best position? I think he'll be a bench warmer at best.

in the world of the virtual NSC pub you have just been refused service and requested to vacate the premises , the old timers are tutting and shaking their heads and the younger lads are waving and singing cheerio cheerio cheerio in unison.

He's is one of the best at the club at receiving the ball and playing it in tight situations, which is why Potter likes him. But he can do more than that. The Chelsea home game, in which he played the Bissouma role, shows what he is capable of at his best. Unfortunately he then failed to reach the same level in the next match at Leicester and was hauled off after an hour. That, to me, is the problem - inconsistency. He needs the sort of run of games that Solly March was given late last season.

I agree with this.
And with NAN. He needs a run of games, one way or the other. And I don’t think he’ll get that. He’s a decent player. But the introduction of the likes of Moder, Moises and Mwepu means we are at a much higher level now, sadly.

He's a technically lovely player. I think there's a bit of Lallana about his game.

He is a versatile player that rarely makes mistakes but doesn't dominate in a way that makes him a certain starter. Similar to Gross he adds something realiable but there are other players that supporters prefer. A fabulous player to have within the squad

You are right on both counts. But current Lallana also struggles to get a start. Now if you mean young Lallana in his prime, well maybe, but Stephen needs to get to a higher level than current Lallana. We already have one of them.

That's the question/challenge for him, isn't it? Hopefully he'll be fit for the whole season and we and he will get the chance to see.

Music (Dad rock) not your strong point?
Come on man. I thought you Brits were supposed to be quick witted. Obviously I was mistaken.

As well as his hair standing out, did anyone else think Alzate looked like he'd bulked up on Saturday? I thought he looked like a real unit.
I'm guessing the days of him playing wing back are in the past and he's going to focus on the central role from now and this is part of that? Hopefully have the similar positive impact it had on Trossard.

Noticed through last season that he had obviously been in the gym a lot. Ive been very impressed with his performances whenever he's had minutes on the pitch. Very underrated player I feel. A stand out game from last year I remember he started the 1-1 home draw with Chelsea and put in an absolutely top centre mid performance.
