Steven Gerrard will be sacked and other kneejerk reactions from the opening weekend of Premier League football...
There are sexagenarians who discuss retirement less frequently and fragrantly than 55-year-old Ralph Hasenhuttl, whose public proclamations that he doesn’t wish to be like Roy Hodgson are quite frankly starting to feel personal.
It is testament to Graham Potter, the boardroom, his squad and everyone connected to Brighton that such proclamations now seem conservative. Brighton were only five points behind Europa Conference League qualifiers West Ham last season and despite the extravagant sales of Yves Bissouma and Marc Cucurella, they already look better with another pre-season in the can.
Since reaching the UEFA Cup semi-final in 2004 and FA Cup semi-final in 2005, Newcastle have reached a frankly risible six of a possible 34 FA and League Cup quarter-finals: 2006 , 2007 , 2015 , 2017 , 2020 and 2021 . They have also scored a solitary goal in those ties, that being Mo Diame’s extra-time effort en route to penalty shootout shame against Hull five years ago.
Forest will certainly face worse teams and not all of those new faces were ready to feature, but it was an eye-opening experience that has already dulled their Premier League buzz. Robin Olsen is 32. Philippe Coutinho is 30. Diego Carlos and Lucas Digne are 29. Calum Chambers is 27. Boubacar Kamara is the exception to the rule at 22 as Gerrard has sought to pack his squad with high-earning experience, as if he thinks he might have somewhere else to be in three or four years.
