Well the fact that Tony's only way of motivating a player is to bench him says more about his managerial skills than Evans' attitude.

I would be more than happy for Evans to stay. We have looked shite without him and Travis together. I think he is so underestimated by many fans.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-making-checks-left-back-21185033 Were we not interested in this lad during the summer?

To some extent I agree but if Evans is out I don't see anybody else capable. Other option would be Bennett. Johnson has been shocking since Bristol City. Return of Smallwood? I know he take some stick but I truly believe Evans is crucial to our team.

Come the start of next season I would have said goodbye to the following Graham Downing Smallwood Samuel Bell Bennett Hart Leutweiller and possibly Rothwell. The latter is so frustrating and there is a good player in there somewhere. I just can't see TM getting the best out of him. If TM was to go I would keep Rothwell but I don't see that happening.

Yeah giving him 15 minutes to try and make a difference when his target man is an oompa loompa isn't really worth while. I'd start him down the right and Arma on the left with DG and BB up top. Leave SG on the bench to replace DG after an hour.

U23s until his cat is settled in the area.

If 4-4-2 is the new formation then a winger is a must in January. Marcus Maddison has been mentioned for the last 25 transfer windows but now, more than ever, he would be ideal.

Buckley's shot has just landed in my front room.

Get Rothwell and Gallagher off.

Get Harry on!!!!

Lovely wingers cross from Buckley

Tony having a go at Bennett on the sidelines. Not happy with the space he's giving them.

Gallagher looking good. Just wish Tony would put his lucky scarf on!!

He scores when he fucking wants!!!!!!!

Loving Chapman and Davenport in the squad. Just hope Harry gets a chance. Hopefully Tosin's inclusion puts pay to any rumours that he's going back to City next week.

I suspect he's injured along with Evans and who knows about Tosin. Think I heard somewhere that Dack is out too!

Here's how I think TM will go. Hope I'm wrong and Tosin and Holtby start.

To be fair to Armstrong, he didn't cost a great deal in comparison to the other two and many other Championship flops. He does score and does look twice as lively as Brereton on acid.

I would bite anybody's hand off for £10m for Buckley.

Ooosshh. That's not what I wanted to hear!!!

I can see us lining up like this.

When did we spend 7m on a CD????

Buckley?? Didn't see that one coming. Well I can't say I'm over the moon but I wasn't before the Bristol City game with that line up, so hopefully TM will prove me wrong.

This is how I would line up today. The 3 behind Gallagher all able to switch positions. Gutted about the absence of Dack but I think with Arma, Holtby and Rothwell playing we will still cause problems. My only worry now is if we get an injury to one of those 3, which is why I would be keen to get Brewster from Liverpool.
