last night.....

Will depend on whether or not Harrison is back, of course.

.... was/is a great song by The Strokes.( OK Last nite)

Spookily was in my favourite pub having a Fish and Chip special this afternoon - the works with mushy peas and curry sauce when this magic song came on!

(Sorry Kammy but going to talk anything else but our league position also going to stay relatively relaxed as 33 games to go and we won't be against Maximin every week and defence will be back)

If Harrison and Raphina are missing for the West Ham game it must be Summerville's time to start or will Bielsa try and squeeze in Roberts?

Disappointing result, but I think we saw some shoots of revival. We held the ball better, we looked dangerous going forward, and with a little more confidence around the box, that would have been a good win yesterday.
With Koch, Llorente and Struijk out, we were always going to struggle at the back, but once we got over the half way line, we began to look more like our old selves.
There are aspects we can criticise, but the attitude of the players is not one of them. They gave 100% yesterday.
Our game relies on high levels of technical skills and if players are not used to each other, those understandings take some time to develop. After yesterday, I felt we are going in the right direction. If we can keep key players fit - Raph, KP, Meslier, Klich, Bamford, Rodigo, Struijk and Llorente, we will move in the right direction.
It's a slow start, but there's plenty of time to show what we are made of.

I said it on the match thread, if we're struggling against the likes of Newcastle and Burnley, I expect that's where we'll see our league position this year.
Unfortunately we're just not good enough to have higher expectations.

I'm not concerned with with. If you compare the sides we created a lot as a collective team. Newcastle just had Saint-Max who was incredible but its not a long term solution to just lob it to the one player

We are short in places and it's natural it will show up more this second season considering how much Bielsa got from certain players last season. The midfield has two massive issues. We need a quality box to box player to supplement Phillips. Philips is our Jorginho, we need a player in the mould of a Kante next to him. Perhaps Gallagher was meant to be that player and we can return for him?
The other is 10. We are crying out for a Pablo. I mentioned Christian Erikson last year before his very sad Euros. That sort of player who will have guile and awareness and act as the final ball

Yorkie I remember your shout for Eriksen back then. Thought it was a great idea. Watching Gallagher for
WBA last season, and Palace this, he would've been
a great addition to our team.

Yeah definitely Kern

Maybe we need a younger version, someone who isn't as established who Bielsa could manoeuvre etc

I'm not really a great fan of European football so I can't think of anyone but it's clearly something they were looking at
