Only watched the 2nd half, but it was evident that Denmark played with 3 CBs, with Vesty on the left and VK ahead of him. They also defended quite deep, so lack of pace wasn't going to be an issue.

There's no saving us.

What did you or the broader fanbase think when he was sacked? Harsh or deserved.

I think the stat shows how hard it is for Madders to come back from an injury, which he seems to get every season. As he gets older, this will become more severe. He's going to be 28 this year, probably only got 2-3 seasons at the top left.

Exactly, look at Liverpool under Klopp. They liked to play the ball out from the back, but then didnt spend an eternity playing meaningless passes between GK and CBs. They attacked as quickly as possible with long diagonal balls from the back, hence why Pulis once highlighted in a Liverpool vs WBA game, the fact that Liverpool had played more long balls then his team.

Don't understand all the hype around Potter. He's had one good season in English football, when Brighton finished 9th. Even Chelsea were languishing in the bottom half when he left.

Has a knack of looking worse the more you see him play. Hopefully he puts in an eye catching run, like he did against Preston, and some club takes a punt for 15-20M. Otherwise, we're lumbered with a shit defender, who doesn't want to be here.

Glad it's been finalised and we've made a few million out of it. It's the ideal time to get a new man in, who'll have a full pre season with the team.

Wilder is literally the definition of washed up. Game over for him, the Saudi's won't bank roll him after his last 2 disastrous fights.

It's a no from me. Our early success is primary due to the vision and planning of Vichai. Rudkin's only got where he has by arse kissing and Top comes across as very naive.

Chelsea are close to breaking FFP rules themselves, hence all this talk of selling Gallagher. I dont think they'll be spending the money we want for a GK, striker is the position they need.

No surprise to see him leaving. I thought he'd end up at Seville, but fair play to him, he's got an upgrade at Chelsea. Let's hope the 10-15M we get for him and his team, means we dont have to sell KDH.

With our impending points deduction and financial issues, we've got to be pragmatic and look to stay in the PL first and foremost. The best person for that is Moyes, regardless of what people think of his playing style. There's no point playing pretty football if we get relegated and get another points deduction from the EFL.

I don't think the monks would approve approve.

Congratulations to Lookman, the 2nd and 3rd goals were amazing. One that got away.

I wouldn't begrudge him if he left for Chelsea. We're broke and are going to get a points deduction, whilst Chelsea have seemingly unending resources. On top of that, getting sacked by Chelsea hasn't harmed anybody's career.

Sky News have done a nice montage of Claudio in our title winning season. You know what the title meant to him, when you see him tearing up away at Sunderland. I hope he has a great retirement and hopefully see him at the KP, now he has the time.

Looked like the judges were going to do another robbery, but thankfully Usyk won it. P4P up there with Pacquiao, as the greatest ever.

Isn't he out of contract in the summer? Likely scenario he'll walk away for free like pretty much every player seems to do in recent months.

Just use the Spartak highlights. They'll think they've got the next Mbappe.

He gets 10/10 for effort for trying to adapt to Enzos gameplan. But let's be honest, he's got an awful 1st touch and he isn't a great passer. I think the change will be good for him, allowing him to do the things he's good at. Good luck whatever he has planned next.

Comparing the honours that Hendo has won to KDH is pointless. Hendo is coming to the end of his career whilst KDH hasn't even reached his peak. When Hendo was 25, KDHs age, he'd won nothing. Let's wait and see where KDH career goes before making assumptions.

Rather we try to loan Bereton Diaz then piss millions away on him.

Although not entirely surprised by Vesty's new deal, I hope we're not going to start next season with him and Faes as our starting CBs.

Always sad to see a local boy not make it. Wanted by West Ham at the beginning of the season and now linked to Bolton, he's really regressed as a player.
