    Willian hat trick. Could be a nice punt for the first few weeks.

    Salah spends a lot of time centrally. Very likely I'll start with him. Coutinho playing midfield got the assist.

    He has been unreal. I know he has a goal and an assist today but i f he plays in the position he is playing today I think he will be doing a lot of the assisting the assister stuff we hate.

    Was fully committed to Mane but now Salah is very, very tempting...

    Will Austin be a cert to start with Gabbi?

    From a Saints forum, looks like Stephens played very well today - could be the pick over Yoshida.

    A curiosity from yesterdays friendlies - Bertrand, while in the Saints squad, didn't get any minutes. Both Targett and McQueen did. My guess is it's down to transfer speculation and maybe Berty being a bit unsettled, but it might be something to bear in mind anyway. There's 3 gameweeks before the transfer deadline so just thinking in regards to players linked with a bigger club there might be a chance they miss out on games

    I think Bertie also had a minor hamstring issue, and given his previous injuries in pre-seasons they may have just been extra cautious - but there could be something in it, who knows

    Alonso goal for Chelsea vs Bayern. H/T 1-3
    Fab playing alongside Kante in CM. Boga filling in for Pedro alongside Willian. Batman up front again (Morata on bench though expected to play some 2nd half). Christensen started at CB ahead of Luiz.
