Proper English man abroad vibes and to he honest I can't imagine him in a dressing room full of Italians Obviously hope he smashes it. However, back on loan on Jan?

Classic Kasper but looks likes getting away with it.

We need a replacement for McAteer and a sub for Fatawu so unless it's stupid money then I'd be OK with it. Would rather just get an option on loan though.

Tbf with that one I think you can argue its right, Pedro couldn't do much about it hitting his arm whereas sessegnon jumped in front of the ball. Penalty being the punishment is the ridiculous thing.

In direct free kick for handball and there is no debate. I'd be up for Marco Silva bringing his players off

Trying to find anything so he doesn't have to give a penalty here..

Can't wait to see Marco Silva face after this

Not convinced the ref wanted to change the decision. You can tell when they don't because they take a little longer at the screen.

It's obviously a minimum of stoppage time but I didn't see anything that should have meant it went over that time, other than waiting to see if Chelsea scored from a corner.

Shouldn't be enough to change on field decision. If Chalobah doesn't stay down its probably not even checked.

Not exactly the age profile we need to be looking at but he's a CM, captain experience and we are desperate so get him in..

Solid groundworks in place, and that's a good start. Plus with handling the players situation and never knowing how's going to be here for the next game. Fans seem on side which is a good sign. Just need a couple of players to help him.

From Hamburg: Blockbrau - enjoyed a couple of these on the rooftop of the brewery Ratsherrn - Hotel option as local beer. Wasn't a fan tbh but may have just got a bad one, didn't give it another chance Radelberger - again, hotel option and was OK. Hofbrau - couple in the biergarten, enjoyed it. Astra - had this in can, bottle and pint form. Wasn't keen with the can but enjoyed the bottles. Pints were decent in the sun too.

Just back from 5 days in Hamburg with the kids, really enjoyed it. Got really lucky with the weather, just the one evening where it chucked it down, but hot and sunny meant we could just wander around. Yesterday afternoon sat in a bar on the 'beach' watching huge ships going past, could've done it for hours Miniatur Wunderland was fantastic, kids loved the zoo. U boat was pretty shit imo, interesting (and a struggle for me) to squeeze through but didn't really tell you anything. Having a look around the rickmer was better. Expected St Pauli to be a shithole, but it was worse than that rubbish every where. Missus insisted we walked up the bunker which gave a nice view of the stadium. Found it a bit more expenses than I thought but you could probably do it much cheaper if you wanted too. We have been more of an all inclusive family in recent years so found the haemorrhaging money a struggle. Flew back late last night but managed some of the build up to the Derby around Landungsbrucken, Hamburg shirts everywhere.

That's not a world cup winning squad sad thing is I can't even think who makes that defence and midfield better...

Played against 2 relegated teams but also come up against the attacking threat of Jordan ayew, patson daka and George Hirst...

Any points we pick up in August is good, take them and run. However they come.

Didn't think I could feel even less confidence. Great for Page and Monga though

Always a bit sad when an academy product leaves but you can't be turning that down for him. Nothing against him at all but not excellent at anything. Be interesting to see how Ipswich use him. If Alves doesn't get on the bench this week, we will never see him again.

Of all people I'd expect to leave this summer, McAteer is pretty low down. Probably the one position where we can lose someone without leaving us short. Wish him well, and I hope he gets a decent reception but hopefully not well enough to score against us.

Rodgers starting to follow a particular pattern again?

At this point the only people I'd be annoyed to see go are the 16/17 year olds...

There Monday to Friday so miss St Pauli v dortmund and the Derby

I mean I was definitely over the top, but felt really awkward. It was the goal scorer.

****ing hell, worst interview ever
