Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Anyone else notice he was picked as an active sub today ahead Kone or Valencia.

The lad must be highly thought of.

Kone injured, Valencia couldn't play.

The arrogance of youth mate.

....valuable experience being in the match Day squad and I think it was him who jumped on Barkley after his goal. I like him.

By all accounts young DC-L had a torrid experience in the recent mini-derby up against Sackoshite, I hope fans don't interpret his subs place today as proof that he is the next 'new best thing' and heap ridiculous expectation on him.

Nope, I thought he was one of the few positives in that defeat, lead the line well , controlled the ball and laid it off well. Hardly surprising he didn't get the better of Sakho in the air but showed promise. Agree with your second point, when Niasse got his hat trick he layed on one of the goals and scored another, glad it wasn't him who got the hat trick or expectations would be through the roof.

No Calvert-Lewin or Liam Walsh for U-23s last night.
I wonder if one or both in line for a run out tonight?

The Echo (terrible source I know) say that Walsh is 'understood to be injured'. Shame would love him to get a go.

It was the best debut warm up I have seen in years.

Apparently He is IN the squad tonight! Does this mean we are playing 2 upfront tonight and he is the back up striker?

Would Koeman risk playing 3 at the back against Arsenal?

I think we go a flat back 4, two up front and then make of the middle what we can. Maybe do the famed "diamond" in midfield, with Ross at the top, Gana at the base and Mirallas and Lennon on the wings?
