It's not an inverted FB. It's just poor man-marking.

Jefte is covering the striker, who should be covered by the CB, IMO, leaving Jefte for the WB.

Love Tom Lawrence...

Lawrence does nothing except that. I'm not complaining per se but we need more from a #10 in possession.

The theory is sound: it helps on defensive transitions. Clearly that doesn't apply to us, though...

FFS Tav!

He seems to work on automatisms. You can see when he receives with his back to a defender he wants to play the first time pass, but his teammates are not on the same wavelength. That wastefulness is noticeable. I agree, though.

That's better from Dessers: control, finish - not, control, touch, touch, touch... lost it.

Cortes not quite able to cover for the goal, but quite frankly, I wouldn't have expected him to as it started a long way back. He did well to almost get there. Butland should not be getting beat like that. However, where was Jefte?

Has Dessers been linked with a move away? Joan Jordán has been linked so another #6 looks to be on the cards.

I would agree with that, but I am comfortable with Sterling as first-choice RB and Devine as back-up. Another RB would be good, though.

CB and #10, for me, is the priority in terms of recruitment. I wouldn't mind keeping Wright, just because he can play anywhere in the attacking midfield.

That's not quite what Hawk Tuah Girl had in mind...

All the best, Sam Adrianus Martinus Lammers! I'll always remember when he... That day he... Did that... When he... Good luck!

Aherm: "I didn't say it was brilliant, just that there is cover and that other positions are more of a priority, for me." We're skint. CB is worse than CM.

Rice should be pushing, IMO. I didn't say it was brilliant, just that there is cover and that other positions are more of a priority, for me.

Cantwell doesn't play in that position; he's a #10. In Centre-mid we have: Diomande, Raskin, Barron, Dowell, Rice and Mckinnon, with Sterling filling in. I think that's fine. We are linked with Jordan who would be a decent addition. CB and #10 is more of a priority, for me.

'Inverted'...

I love an inswinging cross. You don't see it much, but it always looks much more dangerous than a traditional cross.

Shankland is a goalscorer; Dykes is just a target-man. I wouldn't mind Shankland for a modest fee, but I don't see Hearts playing ball. Dykes is a hard 'nope!', for me.

Is there an option to buy?

To be fair, to see players sold - even at a small loss - rather than allowing them to run their contracts down is a step in the right direction.

It's still too soon to say, which is frustrating in itself.

I'm personally a little disappointed we've not been able to find a place for him, but I'm not displeased to see him moved off the wage bill if he's not in Clement's plans.

That's not a huge loss on Hagi.
