Extended-Phenotype When he jumps he is somehow lower in the air than he was when he was standing. It’s like he jumps inside himself like a oxf*rd accordion.

The technical term for this is an Asaba.

I also think Jota's death has had a big impact on the squad. Not really surprised this season has gone this way.

Is Elliott technically just on loan this season so won't be able to play if he hadn't already been dropped recently?

Although Nuno has a lot to answer for yesterday’s shambles. Playing a RB at LB, a LB at RB and lining up with no strikers on the pitch on your home debut is not a good way to endear yourself to a rather unforgiving fan base! Maybe he's gone in realise the squad is worse than he thought and is tryin...

You'd have thought he'd had enough of clueless owners after his stint at Sheffield Wednesday. Bit of a free hit though isn't it. Succeed and you'll be loved by their fans* and been seen as having done really well at a basket case of a club. Fail and you get your big pay off and everyone will put th...

Postacoglu sacked He's one foreigner they might let into the British Managers' Luncheon Club! Two successful short-term 'destroy and exits' on big contracts...money, money, money! He won a European trophy. Who was the last English manager to do that? Howard Kendall? With an English club probably. B...

Clyde1998 Noticed we've played eight of the current top ten in our first twelve games. That balance is probably a factor in our current league position.

Or are they that high in the table cos they got 3 easy points off us?

This international break felt like its went on for about a month.

6ft Kerplunk As a non-Manc of a certain age does the same accusation hold true for you Brobs?

I'm from Manchester, moved south when I was about ten.

My bad Brobs, don't know why but I had it in my head that uni was your link to Manchester.

As a non-Manc of a certain age does the same accusation hold true for you Brobs?

Sanguine He's a coach for Liverpool Under 21s and has registered as a player for the last few seasons. I believe Under 21 sides can field a small number of over age players. Why he is playing though, I've no idea.

If I was a coach of Liverpool U21s I think I'd sub myself on every now and then too.

Dirk Gently The problem for future England managers is likely to be how to pick from so much talent and blend it together, rather than not having enough talent to choose from.

Tuchel showing them the way to nurture the young talent by pushing them aside for Loftus-Cheek.

Winston Biscuit Ben Chillwell joins Strasbourg.

Strasbourg owned by the same people as Chelsea. Chillwell is the fourth Chelsea player to join them this summer. All definitely above board and not another FFP loop hole being exploited. Must have run out of infrastructure to sell back to themselves.

Has Ryan picked up a knock? Thought he'd had a decent game in the cup match but he's not been in the squad since has he?

Brogue Blue socks with orange shirt wtf. Looks awful

Are our away socks white so couldn't wear them tonight?

Silver Fox I hope he was unaware he was going turn out looking like peter Sutcliffe

Bet he was glad he got through the Sutcliffe stage and could start an ELO tribute band.

They might just be managing Elliott's game time considering he's coming back from a long lay off and doesn't exactly have the greatest of injury records.

South Coast Royal VVD hardly breaks into a sweat.

Maybe he should try it and Liverpool might concede less.

Pepe the Horseman His fault for believing it. Is he stupid or something?

If only he had experience of an owner selling a fake dream when signing a contract with us he wouldn't have been so easily fooled. Oh.

Wiegman deserves a job in the PL. What a manager! I think other teams have worked her out now. Let England have a much possession they want, get your midfield and defence really disciplined and say break us down if you can. Its just too slow in the final third in this tournament. Then hit them quic...
