• Rohl looked comfortably aggressive on defence. His timing for closedowns was very good. From what I saw, he was able to disrupt or dispossess when he committed to the move. The problems largely came from overambitious passes and perhaps underestimating PL level intensity. If he is given an obvious outlet, I think he can execute well given time. We need a closedown artist since Gana is absent. We don't have another option or we will see blue shirts chasing the ball most of tge match. The only question is, how will he hold up at that level of intensity. ...

• Paul #7 you have an interesting perception of Beto. Beto's one-on-one finishing is excellent. You seem to forget that most of his goals last season were when a through ball to Beto split the opponents defence and Beto would nearly always take his chance. He is head and shoulders better than Dom was at one-on-one situation's. Beto is a good finisher. He is just poor at just about everything else and Moyes hasn't set us up to play to his strengths this season. The Ukrainian looks a bit of cart horse with no pace but he's got a good goal record, albeit only shining at certain clubs making his goals scoring record patchy and deceiving on closer inspection. Beto has no future at the club now so I wouldn't be against giving this lad a try, but that's only because its an easy deal and also puts Beto in the shop window. We also need fullbacks and a midfielder in Jan so a loan striker might be the best we can do. ...

• Michael (3) No commitment to Brexit or the liars who got it fixed. No been out most of the night doing good deeds for mankind. I see the subs got us home again in this competition—- I wonder if Moyes realises that sometimes subs can win games if they are the right subs and they come on with a decent time to do something useful!...

• A bonus that Rohl is back. I do hope he is fully fit though, and its not a case of being forced back early because we're so light. He should definitely get some minutes as he has largely impressed when he's played. I'd also play Dibling. He's got to be given his chance. I like McNeil but I don't see the point in playing him on the right side where he's at his weakest....
