I really don’t get this “Gakpo is versatile” stuff. Yeah, he can play left-wing. And he has stood in at centre m-forward for us on a number of occasions. But simple truth is every time he’s played centre m-forward for us he’s looked absolutely useless and not suited to the role. So I don’t think claims for his versatility amount to anything much. I think he comes across as being a really decent guy and he’s played in a lot of important matches for us and scored some important goals, but he’s like a one game in 10 kind of player. I think we need somebody who is more consistently dangerous and productive and if we can get 80 million for him then I’d be biting anybody’s arm off.

Don’t agree at all. That’s pure projection (the “we’re probably open to…” bit) . And no player should be judged on last season’s wilderness. Only my opinion but I think we’ll see a completely different Wirtz next season.

Most importantly, how do we rate his hair? Plus points: impressively thick, not suitable for corn rows, will suit short or longer styles. Negs: gingery, curly, looks unmanageable. 7/10 overall. Can’t help feeling that face-wise he looks a bit Torres-y.

First half they looked like they would be overwhelmed by a proper team, second half much better. Still invited pressure too much at times. Game management needs improving. Early days though. As if I care.

Well taken that by Rashford.

It does seem designed to appeal only to people who live in prefabricated asbestos houses in the 1950s.

Duncan Oldham?

Or at least have their heads shaved in the centre circle. They’re absolutely-fecn-lutely surreal.

That blackboard was quite possibly the most stupid thing I’ve seen in a sports studio in decades. And believe me, I’ve seen Rio Ferdinand.

Pickford is terrible. “Strike a pose there’s nothing to it”.

Trev’s now getting very excited.

Rio-esque that goal.
