Because Dyche said he's touch and go for Monday and he's not an idiot so he won't be playing.

Oh so not “definite” then

Like I said, I’d rather not rusk him but their defence is shambolic at the moment , he’d cause them all sorts

Well if it's touch and go he either plays 45 as a starter tops or the last 20-30 for when we chase the 10th goal and we're up 7:0.

I'd go with not starting honestly, don't want him gone for another month, but Dyche knows best.

Absolutely

But you've never got anything right in your entire life so I think we both know he's not starting.

On the other hand our only other option that has the possibility and ability to cause their defence some problems is Simms, who's yet to suit up for us this year. Hell of a first start I guess.

If there is any doubt whatsoever about his fitness, I would hope Dominic Calvert-Lewin wasn't risked for the Liverpool game. Rather the lad misses one match than risk aggravating his hamstring and ending up being out for another month or so. Mind you, Sean Dyche does not come across as the type of person to go into 'panic mode' and take such chances.

Mistaken identity!

I hate American football and the rest of their sports except what they call soccer. The big danger to our sport especially football is the infiltration of their ideas, financial "corruption". Ever watch amazon movies with grown men throwing a ball at each other, going to the "ball game" whatever that is, and the infantile phrase "soccer mums" which sums up their view of our football game. Whew! That's off my chest. Anyone going to the ball game?

You clearly don't like U.S terminology but you're very wrong. The NFL is actually one of the most competitive sports you can watch. So many games are decided with literally seconds to go, and it's intentionally structured so that bad teams will have an advantage of improving for the following year. There can be plenty learned from their ideas, in fact.

I'm looking forward to the Super Bowl tomorrow anyway.

As for Dom, I really hope he can do another 60 mins for us Monday, I'd take that now for sure.

I have a feeling he's going to play Monday for 60/30 min and do significant bits

Continuing with that logic, we wouldn't have bought Peter Reid or Andy Gray, as they were faulty equipment before they came to us

Absolutely, but we bought them fully aware of their injuries and injury records.....we went in eyes open wide.
The situation with DCL is very different - he’s established himself as the Clubs number 9, got a few England caps and then picked up his injuries. Plus, whilst I’m not qualified to give an opinion on his mental state it does seem that the injuries have troubled him to a point where he doesn’t trust his own body to be regularly put through 90 minutes...I don’t think there was ever that issue with the two greats you mentioned.

Didn't Andy Johnson make his debut against the RS, scored two ?

Thank you. We already import too much American culture. Have you seen the latest list of forbidden English words (350) from the Stanford University woke brigade?(I really like Americans). Who was the mega rich clown who recently suggested we adopt their frequent breaks (for advertising) during a 90 min game? I think it was Chelsea's no nothing American owner. We are separated by 4000 miles of ocean which naturally resulted in a sporting culture uniquely their own. Good luck with that. I really do like Americans and we should be grateful because we would all be speaking German but for their joining WW2. God Bless America, but keep your sport and your soccer mom's!
