Not seen the presser, will give it a watch later.

Have seen that Seamus is fit.

Holgate does deserve his place, though.

Personally, I'd like to see him play - whether that's in a back three or instead of Mori.
 

The presser highlights.
"Barkley is talented but needs to play better or he'll be benched again"
"Yannick's injury is a massive blow (snigger/giggle) giggidy"
"Yes we need to add quality in January window but we're not telling who we want out of respect for other clubs and we certainly won't tell the press because they stink of wee"

disclaimer - i may have paraphrased the managers words slightly
 
100% Lukaku is a better player when he has a strike partner. I have to disagree with "he is not that type of player" shouts. Why isn't he that type of player? he has everything there to be that type of player.
He just doesn't want to put the graft in my eyes.
Because he doesn't need to be that type of player? He's very good as a poacher, as someone who gets on the shoulder of the last man, and as someone who picks the ball up in wide positions and runs at people. He's not going to modify the game that has got him known as one of the world's top young strikers just to make him more suited to our current hoofball style is he?

Of course he would be a better player if he was very good at everything, but very very few are. Costa, for example, is much better than him in the air and at holding the ball up, but lacks Lukaku's pace and dynamism. Giroud would be the same, Benteke's a beast but could never score the type of goal Lukaku scored at City for example, or Chelsea in the cup last year.
