Kelleher will be available in the summer too I would imagine, seeing as he has a higher profile than Mads (just because he plays for Liverpool) could see teams trying to go for him first.

Only 7 points off of Europe

I can see Ipswich winning tonight. Leicester and Ipswich to win btts 24/1 on Coral

It's annoying Jordan Teze went to Monaco in August

Ridiculous. Neither Morsy nor Guehi should have any scrutiny for their actions, nor should anyone who did choose to wear the armband.

Mavididi and Bilal. Possibly Soumare. Also think Faes might, in the same way he did well in the Championship last season when he's not being asked to lead the back line.

I'm struggling to think which one of the number 8s/10 will join Vardy in the press. Rather Ndidi doesn't go roaming that high, Buonanotte could but would've thought he'll play on the right. Be interesting to see who RVN instructs to go higher tomorrow.

Think he meant after our game against Chelsea. Said in another interview he called him last week.

I wonder if Faes might be used as the player stepping up into midfield in possession as we have conceded a lot of goals down the right hand side, might be better to keep JJ back there and I don't think Kristiansen is suited to invert either. Back 3 of Okoli, JJ and Kristiansen has a lot of pace in transition if we lose possession.

There was not much evidence then that Brighton were as competent as LCFC were at the time with how we were viewed. We've got to restart again somewhere.

Enzo came in and made the players fitter than they'd ever been and gave them structure - Cooper was the one who ripped this out again.

Then went on to sign Bobby Reid, Oliver Skipp and Jordan Ayew that made no improvement to the starting 11/had any resale value, but added to the manager's requirement of PL experience.

Why would you consider these two for selection?

Hermansen Faes Vestergaard Okoli JJ Ndidi Soumare Kristiansen Buonanotte Mavididi Vardy Won't be this but I'd like to try it.

I'm not going to write him off in that regard but wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, either. I'd prefer Ruud, too.

I'm not sure Carsley would be that bad, he seems like he's got a philosophy and likes to play front-footed football. High-press and possession dominant.

They're having one bad run in about 7 years.

I think it's easy to forget that most managers were former players. RVN has way more experience coaching than any of those 4.

I'd rather take a gamble than have David Moyes. We've tried that route with Cooper.

I'd argue Enzo was a front-runner all along. Apparently we tried to get him when we sacked Rodgers (as did Southampton when they sacked Jones) but he wanted to see the treble-winning season out with Man City.

Maybe we will go left field, then. I just can't see Moyes or RVN, for some reason.

Brighton regularly underperformed their xG under Potter. It wasn't that they couldn't create chances, it's that they didn't take them. At the start of this season we were outperforming our xG, so there could be a bit of balance restored there.

I wonder how we could set up under Potter - if he uses the 3 at the back, then I could see him getting the best out of the central defenders. I think it would suit Faes, Vestergaard and Okoli. They all have deficiencies in their game at this level that having an extra body back there could make the difference, while also play a progressive style of play that gets the best out of Vestergaard, Soumare, Winks and our attacking players.
