Both Nacho and Perez should have scored last night (perez's header was harder to miss than score) and Maddison was as close as you can get...but if you dont take your chances you wont win. Considering it was a makeshift team and some hadnt played at all for a long time, it was not as bad as some make out.

Should have scored last night...fantastic pass from Albrighton..a natural goalscorer ie Ings/Vardy/Kane would have been aware where the goalie was and taken it around him.

Think this is the first time Mendy has had a run of games...has been decent in the first two, so hopefully can get even better

Jeff Schlupp also got knocked back by Man U..paid them back with that cross for the first goal..would have liked to have been in the Palace dressing room after the game

Remember a documentary about QPR when Flavio Briatore was the co owner/chairman along with Bernie Ecclestone. Briatore sitting in the stands and sending instuctions down to the then manager Iain Dowie to take certain players off and replace them with others..and Dowie just did as he was told

I believe it was Johan Cruyff who wanted his Barcelona players to be able to play in any position "total football"...its good to have adaptable players such as Ndidi who can and are willing to change as and when needed. Remember Pat Crerand saying George Best would have been the best player on the pitch at Man Utd whatever position he started in.

One challenge in the first half he kicked out at a West Brom player as he was bundled over..good to see he has a bit of nastiness in him as well

West Brom will be well aware of the threat Vardy & Barnes pose and may set their defence up to concentrate on them , so may be an opportunity for Perez and Nacho.

Sometimes see wingers swapping during a match to try to unsettle defences ie Gray & Albrighton...could this be the birth of a new tactic swapping full backs Castagne & Justin

Always comes across as a thoroughly decent man. Much respect for him

Agree...bit of a lump but he was a proper old fashioned centre forward..put himself about and scored goals

It may have been a joint decision for him to stay on Rennie/Rogers/Player...but it could have led to the end of his career...a 50million pound plus asset !

Allowing Ricardo to play on with an ACL injury wasnt his finest hour

Remember him ..good young player..shame his career was cut short by injury...RIP

Zagorakis was a top class player..captained Greece to the European Championships...Agree with everything else though and as others have said Lennon was a very effective player without catching the eye...very similar to Gilberto Silva at Arsenal. Think what made MON decide to leave was a combination of Heskey deciding to leave and being a boy from Derry wanting to manage Celtic. If Heskey had stayed i think we could have challenged for top 4 or even higher. After Taylor took over we were top of the league after 8 games, such was the strength of the team MON handed over but then the Taylor effect kicked in

Agree..you need some strong characters in a successful team..thats why Jordan Henderson was player of the season..we had Kasper in goal and Vardy up front..but in the middle we were too lightweight, talented yes but you need to earn the right to play..Ndidi needed assistance..

Soyuncu yes Evans,Pereira No ..good players but havent a nasty streak..

We need some players with a bit of character...never replaced the likes of Huth,Ulloa,Okazaki,Wasalewski and Simpson....Theilmans,Perez,Praet,Maddison,Chilwell,Barnes,Ineahacho..good players but lightweight

Johnjo Shelvey...ability and attitude

Probably the best shot blocker i've seen in the premier league...he anticipates quicker than anyone else...saw him do this at least twice against Sheff Utd.. believe in the old adage "the first yard is in your head"

Why would they show any hunger ..when you have got 50 grand a week coming into your bank account who would really care "i feel sorry for the fans" really ??

Currently the best keeper in the Premier League..Better than Edison,Allison,lloris,Pickford,Henderson,de Gea..Where did he get that punched clearance against Crystal Palace ? ..his been keeping that hidden in his locker..landed 5 yards outside the box

19 year old Tariq Lamptey made Vardy look slow v.Brighton.. think that was a sign that perhaps hes age is catching up with him. Might be better to use him as an impact sub as defences tire

Like Kante,Mahrez and Maguire before him, Chilwell will want to win trophies (and a big pay rise!)..and we will accept a nice fat cheque..sadly i dont think we will see Ricardo and Chilwell play together again
