So predictable

Buonanotte situation is getting worrying if this is the XI. I don’t buy that we can’t play both him and Bilal at the same time either, I’d have Buono on the right and Bilal in the middle. Buonanotte offers much more than Ayew in attack on the right, whilst also working hard defensively.

They haven’t watched us, they just look at the results and/or the league table and conclude that he was “doing ok” and we’re “entitled”, with no regard for performances, (lack of) tactics, and numerous reports of players not rating him.

I can’t see it. A footballer as good for us over as long a period is rare enough, but this combined with Vardy’s personality and iconic nature in both Leicester and the wider football world makes it very unlikely.

We weren’t 5th in the league.

Apparently Ashworth recommended Southgate for the United job. If true I’d swerve him for that alone.

Ruud said basically the same in his post match interview too.

I really like this. Even if it’s just the “oh Bilal oh Bilal oh Bilal, Bilal El Khannous” bit on repeat it could work.

Good noise after the second and third goals though.

Picked up in the second half, first half was in line with how it’s been so far this season and far too passive.

So good today, he’s showed signs of a performance like this in his last few cameos. Was even better than Buono today, which is great as this one’s actually our player.

More tactical insight in one press conference than in Cooper’s entire time here. Always found it strange how he avoided responding to any questions about his style of play or tactical philosophy.

Similarly to Cannon, several managers In a row - including the one who signed him - haven’t rated him. It’s weird as both of those players have looked pretty decent in their cameos for us so far as well as on loan, and both play in positions where we’re desperate for options.

Of course, but neutrals don’t see that. They just see that we were above the relegation zone.

Coops stock could go up massively if Ruud can’t get a tune out of these shitcunts.

We’re critical of our atmosphere, but Brentford’s sounds terrible through the stream given they’re 3-1 up.

Call Souttar and Cannon back.

Wissa didn’t get a song at least. Would’ve turned off the stream at that point.

Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but he genuinely looked ok for his first few games.

Peak Diabate (aka against Peterborough in the cup) was a joy to watch. The Malian Messi

Risky one but a higher ceiling than a Moyes or someone. Needs to rebuild the team spirit and functioning style of play.
