Aribo looks sloppy when he gets pressed, but I think his positioning and importance in the build-up are underestimated. Arfield, I think, has been anonymous.

An exquisite pass from Jack played through Kent, but his cut back is blocked. Tavernier also had an opportunity blocked.

I still feel the above is correct. When he connects properly, it's almost unstoppable. But, it doesn't happen often enough.

Aaaaannnnddd.... Kent smashes it into the top corner with an absolute peach. Jackass - He never misses an opportunity to show me up.

Another atrocious ball from Kent. How do we improve his final ball? I feel like he tries to whip every ball with so much pace that he loses control. Can he simplify his delivery a little?

An absolute peach of an in-swinging cross from Kent (!?) puts it on a plate for Goldson, 5 yards out, but he gets caught underneath it and can't direct it.

True, but then it does open up space in the central areas.

Tavernier is on the touchline and points where he wants it; Jack puts it on a plate.

Oh, my. That was a stunning clipped ball over the top, from Jack, for the on-rushing Tavernier, but he takes a touch and the 'keeper smothers it.

Yes, he looks very good. Could have been a penalty, but I would be annoyed if it was given against us.

1-1. I don't know how?! We couldn't clear it and it kept falling for them. Their first chance and they've taken it.

Close from Kent! He jinks away from his man, drives into space, jinks inside, and unleashes a good strike, but it just clips the post.

0-1, Jack. It was a good move, but it was ultimately fortunate that it came back to Jack; he finished well, though, low into the far corner.

That pitch... ugh.

Yes, I'm intrigued to see. I believe he's tried to rectify that limitation by appointing a younger coaching team. I'm also intrigued to see how he works with Levy. Mourinho likes to spend money; Levy, notoriously, does not. I think they're looking at a Director of Football too.

I wonder if Man Utd will make a move? I'm not sure Solskjaer is the one, but he doesn't deserve to be shafted like that.

I wonder if Barjonas can make the step up? He looks tidy, and Gerrard seems to be a fan. If we were to lose Kamara, I can see Barjonas taking his role. (Let me pre-empt the Polster fanboy(s): he too could come in, but I think a youth product would be a better option. ) I like the look of Mayo too. I thought he was quite good in the pre-season games.

2-0 up with 25 minutes to go. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's the first time they've ever qualified? I've watched them a few times and Kamara looks a key player for them.

There we go again, using our power to take talent from the diddy clubs...

I wouldn't be so sure of the destination of the title; Liverpool always find a way to screw it up. They should have won it last year, but then went on an run of inexplicable draws.

The only reason Gilmour is anywhere near the first team is because Chelsea cannot sign players. Their track record of promoting youth is terrible.

Unsurprisingly, I couldn't find a Hannibal Barca gif, so this will have to suffice:

Seven losses?! #GerrardOut

I've really missed these professional performances, where we don't play particularly well but are physical, tough, clinical and get the win. I don't think we've had that since Walter.
