Mark Twain was right.

Agree, has great feet, a lovely first touch, lots of tricks. Listening to his interview about playing aboard his a player who has need some love and a long term home to blossom.

Video and technology isn't the issues it the way its used. Works in Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, football is to arrogant to learn off others.

For me he has the right manager in Enzo to improve that.

So you can compare him with Gray, but I can't because it doesn’t suit you point. Merely pointing out he numbers are better at the only level they have both played a decent number of games at.

If he goes, definitely a 8 incoming.

Same amount of Championship goals (8) and more assists (4) in 24 games (1910 minutes) Then Gray got in 3 season 72 games (4620 minutes) 8 goals, 3 assists. So no not really.

Seems to be able to be fit for them. Another one who throw the towel in last season for us.

Love how people say he'll not make it in the PL his 25, which means he can still improve and mature. He improved since he got here, I think he can still go up a level yet.

People need to give him time to get match fit.

I think the only reason Hamza got a new contract is continuity, we have started a massive rebuild. We have already seem Maddison, Barnes, Evans, Soyuncu, Mendy, Amartey, Castagne, Perez, Bertrand, and Tielemans leave this summer, 10 senior pros. Chance are Ndidi, Iheanacho, Praet, Vardy, Albrighton, Iversen, Vestergaard, Smithies and hopefully with a bit of luck Thomas, Ward and Soumare go this summer another 11 senior pros That's 21 senior players leaving in 12 month period, leaving the likes of KDH, Justin, Hamza, Ricardo, Faes and Souttar who have been a the club before this season. Which left only 4 players with any history with the club of more than a season Justin, Ricardo, KDH and Hamza. I think it made sense to keep a core group with a couple of local lads.

Why have just taken a point away at our nearest rivals, having played 6 games in 24 days, a game every 4 days. In which we have won 5 and draw 1, all of our rivals have dropped more points then us in that time. Southampton have dropped 4 pts in December. Ipswich 7 pts Leeds 7 pts He understands fatigue is a factor, the players aren't robot. He probably think the players gave it there all. That's why his happy.

The reason he walk to the halfway line is to trigger the other team to press and then pass around them. Enzo want teams to press him, so I don't think that will be a problem in the PL. The issue will be his lack of pace to recover when we makes mistakes. I've also got a feeling he will look to move in the summer, out of contract, 31 one last chance to get a bumper signing on fee somewhere.

I don't think it's because he doesn't care. Just like I don't think Tielemans ever didn't care. Something when you are on your way out of somewhere you can subconsciously switch off. In football a drop of a coupe of % can have a massive affect.

Because some people can make a fair appraisal of his current performances.

Can't believe somoe are trying to blame him for the OG, there is no time to react to the deflection of Ricardo.

Every time, you sure.... Pretty sure Burnley got away with some dreadful passing out from the back against Liverpool. It will be punished more but every time is a bit of an OTT.

They still have to play 4 out of the top 6 away. We have to play 2 of the current top 6 away.

You do realise they were 9 point behind us at the start of December and are now 11 point behind us. During the month we have pulled 2 point far ahead.... Even with there unbeaten run of 16 games, we have matched them for points over that period and won more games.

People seem to think teams are catching us, when in actually fact during the month of December we have pull far away from all our rivals. Or lead of Ipswich has gone from 1 < 6 Southampton 9 < 11 Leeds 8 < 13

41 points to go to a 100 pts with 22 games to go 1.86 pts per game required. December is a tough month. 6 games so far; We have dropped 2 points. Southampton 4 Ipswich 7 Leeds 8 If we can close it out with a win here it's been a great month.

I would be shock if we didn't bring in a 8 in January.

Like a lot of the regular 11 looked knackered.

Madividi pass competition so far not including today is 78.3%, Fatawu is 74.0% is not sure thats the case. If you had said Fatawu was better a 1 on 1 takes ons I'd agree with you as edges those stats. But Madividi edges the passing stats. Defensive Madividi is ahead on blocks and tackles stats wise, but Fatawu edges clearance, and interception. Fatawu definitely edges aerial duels. I'd say they both work hard defensively but have different styles and attributes on that front.

I think he's look more comfortable and at home. Listen to his interviews he didn't enjoy being abroad and seems a complicated character, think he's seem more settled which is reflected in his performance.
