That’s some goal by Diaz.

Hopefully we don’t have Mac marking Dan Burn on corners. Frimpong it is.

They would rather throw their integrity out the window 15 minutes into the season than make an easy call that gives Liverpool an advantage. c****.

Missed the Jota banner in the Bournemouth end. Class from them.

He looked so nervous early on and never really settled into the game. Looked injured when he jogged back for their second.

Love how much he was involved. Not everything came off but he's a grafter. We got noticably worse when he went off. Again.

A rollercoaster of a performance. We looked tired after an hour for the second time in a week but I'm fine with putting that down to nerves and emotion. The response at the end to win it was amazing. Need to work on our shape though. We kept getting done on the counter in preseason and today was more of the same. It shouldn't be a thing that if you misplace a pass in the final third, the opposition get a free run at your goal. Gravenberch will help but we need to work on that balance when we're in possession.

f***ing hell. We’ve looked tired for about 15 mins and there’s still 15 to go.

Frimpong’s pace would have been useful to get back there.

Ekitike’s getting too many difficult balls to work with. Need to give him a chance. Show a bit of patience and keep possession for a bit.

Ibou’s got his roller skates on. Probably just a bit of nerves.

35m and the community shield is a bargain for Guehi.

Salah recreating his Bilbao pen was weird. But at least that’s out of his system and he can score them for the rest of the season.

Stupid challenge from Wharton. Sell him if we ever sign him.

Great ball from Wirtz again.

Think we’re going to see that attacking move a lot. Salah drifting central and then the long diagonal ball from midfield to Frimpong who will beat his man for pace every time.

Good pass from Wirtz. Brilliant first touch and finish from Ekitike.

Hope we win. And hope both centre backs make it through unscathed so we don’t start the league season with midfielders out of position.

Slot fitness update: Mac Allister fit enough to play but not full 90. Gomez still injured but will be back with the team soon.

Dom and Grav look good together behind Wirtz.

Looked like Elliott said goodbye at the end there earlier.

Milan scored three goals because our full backs got caught high up the pitch. We’re probably tweaking to get the balance right. Maybe we’ll see Kerkez going forward more 2nd half.

Was it Stephenson who seemed to pick up a hamstring injury at the end there?

Wirtz and Isak at centre back against Bournemouth.

Endo? Or Endo at cb and Grav in midfield. We’re very light in defence atm but it sounds like Virgil will be okay for Palace.
