    Who would you start as our LB next game? We have three amazing ones, it’s a nice problem to have. Jurrien Timber isn’t even back yet.

      If be happy with either Kiwior or Tomi. Love Zinchenko, but I feel like he’d leave us a bit defensively vulnerable against Brighton. Probably go with Kiwior as he’s a but more match-fit.

      That was my thought in the 2nd half. Would have liked to have been on the front foot more. But we already have a better GD than Liverpool and City and we were in control the whole game.

      Makes sense just to let the lads with less match fitness a run around instead of a tight fast paced match

      Probably adjustment for the longer added time in games these days. If you’re trying to account for a possible 15 minutes of added time, 66 minutes is pretty close to the same proportion through the game as it would be back when we would usually see <5 across both halves.

    So, I snoozed my alarm and slept through the game.

    Just finished watching the replay and a nice comfortable win.

    Could have pressed for more goals, but after the tight City game, Brighton in a few days and some potentially tough fixtures coming up, including CL, I’ll take a comfortable 2-0
