Barkerinho has been good.

We've created a few chances, but I wouldn't say they've been golden chances.

Wonderful from Barker, and good run from Roofe, but it was good defending.

What a shot from Kent! Good save. More of that, please!

How is that a foul to them?

Rather than Hagi drifting in from wide into the 10, Itten is drifting in to the forward line.

Good shot from Barker.

Noticeably more aggressive, forward-thinking.

Than Kamara?! I can't help you, then.

Barker looks alright; picks up some nice positions, and is always looking for a forward pass.

I agree with you, but I think it's just for a more offensive option; nothing wrong with that.

I think Itten is playing in the wider role, a bit like Mandzukic used to do in Bayern's 4-2-3-1.

We've started the season with a 4-2-3-1, and I don't see that changing. Roofe will come into the wider position or in behind, with Itten up top, They're not wingers anyway, they play narrow. The width comes from our FBs, Barisic and Tavernear. I much prefer Kamara and Jack. Davis has been a wonderful player, but his body is not responding, IMO. He's certainly more capable of playing a forward pass than Kamara. However, it's been Jack that has been tasked with playing the forward pass, but he's not done it, despite being capable, like Davis. For me, the issue was the forwards being unavailable for the pass, not so much Kamara and Jack.

We play 4-3-2-1, and you incorrectly maintain we're playing 4-2-3-1. We play 4-2-3-1, and you (incorrectly) suggest we're playing 4-4-2. Brilliant.

To be replaced by Davis-Jack, which is basically the same.

Sorry I'm late - I thought it was a Sunday game. Rangers 2 - 0 Kilmarnock FGS Kent

I can't wait for Walter to give McCann a wee skelp on the back of the head when we're drifting in the game.

No player should walk into our team. He has to earn his place.

There's a distinct difference between our DoFs, which is to be expected. Allen was good at the business side of it, and pretty much built our DoF structure from scratch, but his recruitment record is patchy. Wilson looks to be much better in recruitment, thus far. Was Middleton not bought for the Academy? He wasn't actually first-team material, he just performed well and had an opportunity at the time.

So it wasn't Messi? @ian1964, you liar...

This story seems to have come out of nowhere. Unless @DMAA has leaked it... ? ?

It's strange that we're all firmly in favour of moving him on, arguably one of our 'best' players. I would take £10-12M. He doesn't quite fit into the system, despite doing well enough without setting the heather alight, and it would represent a decent profit. Will Liverpool not have a sell-on fee due? I am confident Wilson will do the right thing.
