England are going to find a way to be the first team to lose a day/night test who scored over 260 runs in the first innings aren't they. Bowlers are lacking rhythm, shock really when they haven't bowled in nearly 2 weeks, who's bright idea was that?

I was looking forward to the Zack vs Zia battle and it turned into the Zack vs everyone except Daisy Cooper battle. It was refreshing to finally hear a QT guest say that immigration is not the reason for failing public services. They are running scared and maybe there are a few more greens tonight.

Zack Polanski and by extension the Green party made the other parties look very silly once again on question time last night

Much better batting by a few for England today, Root doing what Joe Root does best, absolutely brilliant innings by him

I think this 4-4-1-1 or rather box midfield has legs over time for Liverpool, especially when you add in Bradley or Frimpong to right back who are naturally better at holding the width than Gomez. Just needs more injection of pace and forward passing, Wirtz, Jones, Ekitike and probably Chiesa

Last night it looked as if it was only Wirtz that could provide that extra level. In fairness to Jones he came on and won the ball back then immediately looked forward for Wirtz, that was more of what we need. Wirtz, Ekitike, Jones should all be starting the weekend.

If you're one of these people who seem to have the growing opinion that Liverpool should sack slot and replace him with Gerrard then do give your head a bloody wobble. Gerrard failed at villa and is simply not good enough to manage us.

It feels like Wirtz is the only one who's seemingly capable of playing at a higher tempo, yet the amount of times they just fail to give him the ball in dangerous areas is so poor

Let's go Max!

Guarantee Paqueta ends up suspending and banned from football again for match betting. That red card was clearly blatant. He will surely be investigated.

Go max, go. Also go on Kimi, get an overtake on lando

Now if you want to go watch some proper blood&guts/war games go watch the AEW women's and mens matches this year. Now that's worth watching.

Salah now should have to work to get back in the starting 11. Far better with the way we lined up today and it shouldn't change ahead of Sunderland

Said it last week, Szoboszlai on the right, Wirtz in the middle. More stability defensively and Wirtz was absolutely brilliant today. Roll on Sunderland at Anfield and yes I would keep Salah on the bench.

Much better balance to the side today albeit against a rather toothless west ham but I mentioned not too long ago I'd go more a 4411 with Szoboszlai on the right and Wirtz just behind Isak or Ekitike and Wirtz looked our most dangerous player. Szoboszlai provided along with Gomez far more stability

Trump forming a cartel dream team 😂

Kyle fletcher should win the C2 over Okada and Takeshita, have them too focused on each other and forget the other superstar in the Don Callis family

I'm not too sure where Liverpool go from here, I didn't watch the game in fairness. If you sack slot who do you get in? Klopp till end of season? Iraola mid season (probably who I would go for) If you're even suggesting Gerrard then you're an absolute idiot.

I would probably go with a 4-4-2 or actually a 4-4-1-1 Alisson Bradley/Gomez Konate-VVD Robertson/Kerkez Szoboszlai/Frimpong Gravenberch-Mac/Jones Gakpo Wirtz Ekitike/Isak Then I'd sign Guehi and Semenyo. Semenyo can play right, left or middle, Guehi replaces konate easily.

Wait why have they given Hangman just a short title reign yet again?

Thank god for rugby and the return of the prem next week and then the investec champions cup in December

Pitch seems to have died somewhat but England refuse to bat patiently enough to see it out, say 2 and they could have built themselves a huge lead.

I mean they gave Jamie smith out for the same thing so surely weatherald is out to even if he shouldn't be right? 😂

That's a really really poor decision by the offield umpire. Was there a spike as the ball went past the bat? Yes but we've all seen on the pictures that the ball looked nowhere near the bat when there was noise. That's very very poor. Var level poor.

Atkinson might not have a wicket so far today but he's been phenomenal. They all have. Exceptional bowling by both sides today.

I know England want to play all this bazball nonsense but honestly batting like this will not win us an ashes, let alone an away ashes.

It doesn't matter how badly we treat immigrants, it won't improve life for you one bit.

“It isn’t people seeking sanctuary who are tearing our country apart. It’s toxic, racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants for crises they did not cause.” Carla Denyer challenges the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms saying they just fuel far-right narratives.

Labour have fallen so far to pandering the right and reform that they're trying to attack the green party whenever they can. Shocking really.

A huge fall from grace for AJ to be fighting Jake Paul on netflix in an 8 round fight isn't it. However if there's ever been a time where I want to see AJ absolutely spark someone, it's Jake Paul 😂

For anyone claiming that England challenging the Hakka or the fans singing over it was disrespectful, get a grip. It's a war dance, it's supposed to be challenged. The great Richie McCaw even said this week they think it's great when it's challenged. It's honestly great when it's challenged

I love the Haka but England "challenging" the Haka is just as great.

Got to feel for the fed for running war games after aew put on 2 great blood and guts matches this week

What a brilliant performance by England to beat the All blacks. Sensational. I was and still am sceptical of ford at 10 over Fin smith especially when furbank is back at 15 but what a victory that is. For only the 9th time ever beating the all blacks

Skye Blue is one hell of a bleeder isn't she, good lord that's like prime ric flair blade job 😂

Great to see Vitor Matos doing a great job as a manager in Portugal

Well put the F1 on to find Verstappen has gone from 16th to 4th after making a pit stop already and is flying. Great stuff!

City are letting Konate have the ball because they don't think he can hurt them. Id maybe drop Gravenberch into the back 4 or bring on Gomez. At least then city will have someone to worry about playing it out

Micah Richards is claiming Haaland meant that header 😂😂

I understand a goal being ruled out if the player is offside and they're clearly obstructing the keepers view but Robertson wasn't doing that

We haven't played well but aside from the penalty and 2 deflected fluke goals I don't think City actually created that much. Not to mention the officials dying to rule out that header

That's the flukiest goal you'll see

Oh they're going to do everything they can to give city a goal

Mamardashvilli you absolute beast of a man

That is extremely soft, extremely

I'm sorry but how on earth is that going to be a penalty?

Don't quite agree with the comments of "people wish they had Elliott over these expensive signings" but I would be happy to have Elliott back in the squad if that's something that could be done. Absolutely.

Need another huge performance like this time last year Vs city and Vs Madrid Tuesday but a win and we go 2nd and 5 points off second despite being borderline in a crisis just a couple of weeks ago and with players like wirtz, Kerkez and Isak only to get better!

Austin Healey wants to change both the 9 and 10 to face England's toughest game this autumn. Honestly he doesn't quite make much sense does he? You've got a slight argument for ford in over Fin Smith who was pretty damn good and now has 5 wins in 5 as starting 10. But to bench Mitchell?

Not quite sure what Comms are on about really, Mitchell is England's best scrum half but Austin Healey thinks they shouldn't start him against New Zealand. Doesn't help that his voice reminds me of Michael Owen.
