Daka's been unbelievable so far

The hell was Vestergaard doing there?!

If that's a booking then Gruev should have been sent off for that foul on KDH. Pathetic

No pressure in one sense on this game. Lose here and we're still massively in the driving seat. However, an authoritative win is needed because we've been poor against the teams around us and would open up a few cracks about our ability against better teams. Both Ipswich games we should have been in total control of but sloppy and passive second halves, Leeds we were just well below par and granted a good win over Southampton but that was when they were a completely different beast.

Or is it a case of modern society where everything is black and white? Been really good this season but not half as good as some people have made out. Whenever we've been up against it, he's often the one who gets exposed. Definitely earned his chance next year and hopefully his renewed confidence means we'll see a completely different version to what we last saw in the Prem (he'll certainly be better!). But we definitely need to be looking at an upgrade in that position even if it's somebody to bed in over the season. He'll be 32 going into next season so he's not the answer long term. As for today, did some really good things but unfortunately a hell of a lot of woeful positioning, decision making, execution etc.

Did they? We basically didn't start creating any chances until the 80th minute. Imagining rocking up at the KP as an away team, having a 2-0 lead for so long and it being so easy for you. Bet they couldn't believe their luck.

Vestergaard has made so many poor decisions/executions today

It's not even one of those days. We've just been abject individually and collectively. Carrying no threat at all

Pathetic goal given up by us

If there's one player I thought was perfect for Enzo's system when he joined it was JJ. Played as a left or right centre back in a 3 or as a full back. Either footed (him turning back is a clear instruction as I've seen him motor past people on the outside and deliver a good ball on his left foot enough times to know that) and his versatility means he could play as that inverted full back or as the one who pushes into midfield. Not as good on the ball as Ricardo but he's plenty good enough.

So bad I don't even know where to start.

Yeah, will be very interesting to see how he gets on. At worst he'll be a decent rotation option but hopefully fulfils some of his potential and is much more than that. Had a bit of meh patch in the middle but last 10 games or so he's been fantastic. Like Fatawu, his work rate is fantastic too

Expected but great news. Yesterday was one of his worst games and he's not like he played badly. Just never took on his man and his usually brilliant delivery was slightly overcooked. Potential is so high and if his work ethic off the pitch is anything like it on it, he could be something truly special.

Playing it as well but haven't done for a couple of weeks so must get back and finish it. It's one of those games where I totally understand if fans of traditional FF games hate it. It is very different but that's probably why I like it. Some of the voice acting and general mature tone is fantastic at times (hearing a Geordie/Mackem in a game is surreal). By and large, it leaves behind the stupid bits of Japanese games, I.e. the constant groaning and grunting! But yes, combat is too easy and the majority of the side quests are abysmal. Definitely an 8/10 though.

Would have been spot on for Rodgers last full season. The fact that the criticism could be the other way if anything (that we're overly drilled) makes this a zinger

Least surprising article ever. Exactly what I expected to be like and getting some rewards for his attitude. With Daka and Cannon, I think it highlights that we need to let Vards go this summer and Cannon is now behind Vardy again for some reason. Daka's development has been massively hampered and these guys need extended runs in the team. It was against Napoli in the EL that gave me confidence that Daka could become a top striker as hoped (still a long way to go in that respect). Rightly, his all-round game has been criticised but that night he showed some glimpses of real tenacity, the ability to play with his back to goal etc. Moscow then show how incredible his finishing can be so it's about stringing that all together and then we've got the player we hoped of when we signed him

Captain as well. Would love to know what he became if circumstances were different. So much tragedy as a kid/young man but he was ridiculously talented. Probably the most 'head and shoulders above everyone else' performance I've seen was him on loan for Bournemouth against Gillingham. Still had a great career though

Always said Winks was shite

This one's quality. Changing form Watford to Leicester coverage every 20 seconds. Certainly adding to the excitement

Streams are really odd today. Working kind of until you want to go full screen/get some sound then they're going ad mad. Or so people tell me

This but more in the mid 2000's style, where the sash doesn't go all the way to the top/bottom (and not sure about the sleeves). Probably my all time fav kit

Genius

Wait, they had Vini Jnr?! And they let him go? £100m+ player there.

Totally forgot about Kodjia until I looked it up. And Ross McCormack racked up some impressive transfer fees for somebody who has as many awful seasons as he did good. He was the promotion chasing equivalent to a relegation specialist manager (Allardyce for example)

I'm talking about pre that. First year they went down they had a net spend of £40m+ and that was 8 years ago, and not a drastic fall like us so not previous European revenue to boost it. It was obscene money at the time for a championship club and it then took them 3 years to get promoted. Net spend of probably £150m when they came up which is again ridiculous. And according to transfermarkt (which I don't completely trust for accuracy), they still lost money in that Grealish year (realise that won't be the case for accounting purposes) and have a net spend of over £300m in the past 5 years. If that's true, there's no way a club that size can't be breaking Financial rules.
