Joey from the halfway line against Hull. Probably not the best we’ve ever scored but was pretty much the only moment of quality over a period of about 5 years scrapping at the bottom of the championship.

It’s one of those where you don’t think he’s lost the dressing room they just haven’t got the quality so can’t see a massive upturn in performances now he’s gone

Klopp just trying to manufacture a headline so we talk about that rather than how shit his side managed that game

The players we were looking at were Eriksen and Odegaard and there’s no one in the 23s anywhere close to that calibre

We’re almost certain to win now then

Dwight Gayle

Damien Delaney and Jacob Laursen

I know a few at Burton and he was really highly rated there they were desperate to get him in permanently and his injury was a big loss for them. He’s had a few big injuries now though so hope it all works out for him

I thought he’d be a superb fit at Burnley in both character and style. Maybe the reputation around his character preceded him however

I can see what our scouts saw in him - it’s just not quite happening for him here and there’s definite questions over his body’s ability to handle the requirements of the PL and EL

Sam Hughes did his ACL last month on loan at Burton and is back at Leicester now

Should have saved it. But Evans shouldn’t have been dragged out and let Mendy close down Amartey should’ve been more dominant Tielemans should’ve stayed with his man and not get involved with Benteke

Since when was being pragmatic a negative?

We need the premier league equivalent to Dean Hammond

I'm surprised more hasn't been made of the idea that we voted against project big picture because we weren't one of the 'top 6' clubs who it benefits rather than because of some selfless vote against the powers that be

Most impressive thing about him is his mentality. He’s so composed and confident in what’s he’s doing in a way that Chilwell never was. not saying he’ll reach Chilwell’s level but his temperament and mindset is too class and he has the tools and potential to make it to the top.

Saved us £20m easily on a replacement. Far better than William Carvalho would’ve been for that price

I don’t think it would necessarily improve the quality of English players - you’d just get now championship quality players playing in the PL and the general standard would drop

We played without a striker until 60 minutes - Barnes was marking Partey. It was clear the plan was to frustrate arsenal for an hour then get Vardy on And try and get something. with the introduction of Vardy and Under the press was much higher up the pitch and much more aggressive. Lots of criticism for Brendan for not having a game plan against the bigger clubs but it seems to be working at the moment.

Thought Praet played the Matt Oakley role well

If he can’t get in ahead of a 35 year old sol bamba he’s got no chance of making it

I think we’re hugely fortunate to have Susan Whelan here

Work for a Waitrose in posh central London. Customers where money is no object would drop up to £1000 on a shop just in case they needed/fancied something. We were basically restocking a whole shop every day. Dread to think what a 2nd lockdown + Christmas shopping would do. oh and John Lewis is tanking so despite everyone’s hard work we’ve stil somehow made a loss this year

Justin was also on congertons leaked list of Celtic targets before coming here so likely to have heavily influenced that transfer

You can see a lot of this way of thinking in how Congerton operated at Sunderland Jack Rodwell from the Man City wilderness, Defoe back from MLS, Jan Kirchoff from Bayern, Yann M'Villa from Russia. Not many of them worked out though
