You didn’t see Banks or Sjoberg or Weller then...?

Does he play rugby too?

Maybe the ‘Models’ that Man C had flown over from Italy to ‘help the players celebrate’ their 6-1 win at Villa?

I’m sorry but our star man is Youri Tielemans. He plays in blue and white...

As long as neither Barnes nor Perez start, that’ll do me...

I think he’s going to be magnificent! And he was against Wigan. But today was one of his worst ever performances, totally shot.

Unusually a deal of consensus on FT this morning! I thought Hamza & Nacho were excellent and Hamza should be set for a decent run now until Wilf's back. Ricardo, Perez & Maddison were very good too; Tielemans, Chilwell and Praet all below par. Fancy us away against anybody that's not Liverpool or Man C!

Sorry sport, didn’t mean to upset anyone, least of all any member of the Albrighton family 😏 And yes, I do. Am missing Wilf hugely already. Enjoy the game 💪🏼

Worried no Ndidi.,,

Just out of interest - for which team?

Not often you learn anything listening to the Football Forum with Strings & Pipes, but we did today. I didn’t make a note of the Italian journalists name, but she spoke very knowledgeably and this won’t be happening. He’s very, very highly rated in Turin. On the other hand, they’d be happy to push Rugani our way...

The worst did happen yesterday and I have to say that in a two, Fuchs looked poor. In a three, he’s a maybe...

Positives: Job done Minutes in legs for some Chilwell Choudhury Barnes to a degree Negatives: Poor team performance as acknowledged by BR Benkovic's injury Morgan's injury Albrighton

You have a point! But you have to take the quality of the opposition into account no?

Love Albrighton but some shocking decision making at times, think he was trying too hard once he got given the armband...! Job done Seemed to me that Albrighton’s floaty, inaccurate crosses to the back post were made with Ulloa in mind, and he’d forgotten that Leo left some time ago. Or he was just shit.

Quickly

Poor, Brendan spot on in post match comments. IMO poorest performance of the season. But a win’s a win!

Piss poor second half tbf

Peak Albrighton that...

Albrighton having a bit of a mare...

I’ve not been watching it but noticed that Calvin Ughelumba’s not playing. Have they said why? I fancied him for a spot on the bench tomorrow, looks a fine prospect at LB, as does the slightly younger Luke Thomas.

That’s the one for me. Now just watch @eddylcfc and me get five or six names wrong!

It is of course the hope that kills us.

I get that some fans see his weaknesses more than they see his strengths, but in this market he’s priceless ie, hyperbole aside, ‘worth’ £100m+. And yes, he’s neither the finished article nor the best left back we’ve had this decade. But what a player he’ll be in a couple of years!
