Listened to a podcast recently and they were talking about how Lewandowski will fit in at Barca given his age and the pressing game Barca want to play. In essence they suggested that a less mobile guy up front can still be useful in a pressing system by just ushering play into an area where other, more mobile players can press the ball. It's an interesting idea and could be a way to get Dack in the team. Past experiments with Dack up front haven't set the world alight though which could be a stumbling block

Haunting memories of watching the away game last year with my Everton fan mate laughing his arse off as we missed chance after chance. Anyways the way Swansea play could play into our hands as it did first game of last season (here's hoping) I'd go for the same team as QPR except stick Gally up top and bring Dolan in for Vale 1-2

The thread goes past 400. In your face Brian Lara

Looking at Broughton's comments it does seem like they've identified that Wharton and Garrett aren't completely ready yet so this guy is a stopgap until they are. Not the worst plan but will look foolish if 1. Morton isn't good enough and doesn't play anyway (a la Clarkson) or 2. Morton being here stops the academy lads development in its tracks. Would hope that we're still in for Styles though...

Like the football equivalent of a dog chasing it's own tail

Heard on comms that he's already equalled his goal tally from last year, admittedly he only scored 5 last year but if he carries on like this he should have 10-15 goals by the end of the season. Encouraging signs with Dack still scoring as he always does.

He cleaned up a hell of a lot of Travis' mess today that's for sure. I think apart from Travis and Rothwell everyone had good games with Tosin being the MOTM for me

Aside from the ones we hear a bit about (JRC, Butterworth,Vale et al) How does the rest of the u23s squad line up? Anyone doing well on the down low without attracting too much attention?

"We're getting a chippy do you want curry sauce or peas?"

They do look alike to be fair

That could be more down to Gallagher than anything else. Graham is definitely better than him at being in the right place to pick up anything loose in the box

Andy Hinchcliffe was one of them, cant remember the other one

Absolutely reeks of a bust up
