I don't understand why Sakala is not on the bench, at least? 6 out of the 9 subs are 'defenders'.

Ooft! Fulham take a point off Liverpool. Liverpool looked poor.

Unless Lundstram has more license to get forward, but... yes.

You've edited this comment a couple of times and it's still wrong.

Davies isn't starting...

Where are all these goals coming from?!

I benched Zinchenko in my fantasy side... 9 points. Wasted.

I'm ambivalent. If they get through, it's great for the co-efficient. If they get horsed, all is right with the world and I can have a good chuckle.

Yes, like Kamara, the prick!

Commiserations to Fulham for all but confirming their relegation by signing Shane Duffy.

He scored a couple of good goals for St Johnstone a few years back, too, but that was the extent of it.

I always thought Middleton could do a job for us, despite being a little one-dimensional. However, that's a couple of managers now that haven't rated him, so I can't argue with that.

PL returns tonight, with Crystal Palace against Arsenal. Arsenal have been quite impressive in their recruitment (Jesus and Zinchenko are good buys) and pre-season results. Whether that translates into league success remains to be seen.

You bring up an interesting comparison, which perhaps highlights our problem. Both Liverpool and Man City morph into a 2-3-5 in attack. Essentially, they always want wide players hugging the touchline, two players in the half-spaces, and a forward (creating the 5). Whereas Liverpool create this with wide FBs and inside forwards (Liverpool have quite a rigid midfield three), Man City have touchline-hugging wingers and free 8s in the half-space (Man City's FBs are inverted and play quite deep, creating the '3' with the #6). We're caught in the middle: Wingers hugging the touchline, getting in the FBs way, and no free 8s. It's like Man City's wingers and Liverpool's rigid midfield-three. It doesn't create the ideal 2-3-5 line-up. We need to keep the rigid midfield-three and get our wingers playing in the half-spaces, and high FBs; or keep the wingers wide and get some free 8s (which we technically have, in Tillman, Hagi, Lawrence, Jack at a push) to support the forward more closely.

Fabinho.

I mentioned this prior to the Livingston game: Kent - Colak - Matondo Tillman Lundstram - Kamara Red Van - Sands - Goldson - Tavernier McLaughlin Adding Morelos for Colak, and it's still the strongest squad, for me. I've not seen enough of Davies, yet. I would prefer having just one #6 against the diddies, bringing in Lowry for Lundstram or Kamara.

Back to being pessimistic. Thanks, Rangers... Rangers 1 - 0 Kilmarnock FGS Colak
