Well, what can you say after that? A fair bit, based on the post-match thread... so I won't add too much.

Although a great many posters still, after all these years, look for patterns of consistency, indications from the last game... pointers as to how we will play in the next game. 

There are no doubt some elements of continuity — like, I'm convinced Grealish is just never going to shoot — whereas things we thought were a dead cert that we could rely on till the cows came home... Well, shot-stopper extraordinare Jordan Pickford is fallible after all.

Barely three full days to recover from that nightmare, and we're back in action down by the sea. Looking at the stats, we've played 8 times down there in the Premier League... and never won once. 

I think I'll stop now.

Sensible Michael. Difficult to predict. I start with 1 - 1 draw. Barry scores. VAR gives him the benefit of doubt for a change.

Bournemouth, 1point and 3 places above us, offer a very different proposition to Newcastle. Less physical, but well organised, with an astute young manager.

Inconsistent this term, good on their day, plenty of goals, but different team the following week, not unlike ourselves.

We have a poor record down on the south coast, time to turn it round.

Another team with pace and goalscoring ability.

Moyes must adopt the tactics and selection to match the opposition although with Gueye and Rohl out if it does reduce his options'

Drop KDH into dm with Garner and play with Dibling and Alcaraz in front of them.
