Gordon Bennett

Absolutely. Kid looks a natural for that position whereas Disasi I see more as a traditional centre back. Also Disasi is one of our weakest first team players.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all

If he wasn't on such insane wages he's the type of player Everton would sign. That's his level now.

Really poor, can't find a way through. We'll regret those Jackson misses.

Refs been terrible. Palmer should have had a free kick there.

Tosin, incredible defending to keep us in it

A Scouser probably spiked his drink

Bit of a strange one. No idea why he's been frozen out as he's always looked quality to me. Maresca clearly doesn't share that opinion though.

So, how long is the kid out for?

In recent matches this lot have been really tight at the back - apart from when they got turned over at Man U. Conversely they don't score many - apart from when they turned over Wolves (but who hasn't?). Bodes well for us I reckon - we're a scoring machine. I reckon we can get a win here.

Early Christmas present for Felix:

Fantastic goal - great move and finish there from Cucurella. This guy gets better and better

You can shove your f**king Shamrocks up your arse! You can shove your f**king Shamrocks up your arse! You can shove your f**king Shamrocks, shove your f**king Shamrocks SHOVE YOUR f**kING SHAMROCKS UP YOUR ARSE!

Great header from Guiu. Looks a proper number 9 this lad.

And there's KDH with a lovely finish. Well done lad.

Fantastic shot from Casadei, great to see a midfielder testing the keeper from distance

This is what Guiu is all about - constant pressure, anticipation, and a great finish. Brilliant play Guiu, absolutely fantastic.

Oh, fantastic finish from Guiu!

Somebody give the commentator a box of tissues so he can clean himself up after that Shamrock Rovers goal.

Guiu - f**king warrior! Heads the ball in the goal and then heads the f**king post for good measure! Doesn't give a f**k either! f**king top man.

Well organised, competitive outfit but we should have too much. Good start from us and hopefully they tire.

I wouldn't risk Cucurella at all. Dude has played plenty of football what with the Euros and so forth.

Oof, what a statement! Difficult to choose between the two. Lampard's hit was so sweet, with no run up, and the curve took it away from the keeper. Absolute world class belter of a strike.

His tests in August were negative. It's clearly something he had no knowledge of taking. Feel sorry for the kid.
