Pretty obvious Mads has called for it by his 'hands in head' reaction. He's not shy when it comes to bawling at defenders.

I wonder if your 'almost everyone' caveat might be the reason he's on the bench?

Floodlit?

... would be seven games more than 30. I said 'plenty' not lots. It is plenty. He's not had lots because he hasn't made a case for playing a lot, even in this doggo squad.

AFAICR he's played in all bar one of them. Hardly 'not getting a sniff'. Plenty of chances to impress, largely against tiring defences.

You can ignore Ricardo and Ndidi from the line up, given how long they've been out. So... Justin/Coady/Thomas is puke. Winks/Woyo/Puke Ricardo replacement/Puke Ndidi replacement is puke. Bounanotte is puke in a dress. Assuming we're judging them with a football near them, I've forgotten what Vardy is. El Khanouss is indeed 'not awful', but has been giving awful a good go recently. Got a really good goalie though.

Using the word 'criminal' makes it embarrassing. Given how crap Facundo's been since the first few games, it wasn't even particularly interesting.

Yep. The whole 'criminal he's not playing' stuff was embarrassing.

Yup. The only 'macro level' change is we look quite a bit less likely to score.

Have you watched these ****ers recently?

Awwww, wholesome goalsome. Absolute Nana cheek pincher of a face. Paging @RumbleFox

Whatever the perspective you are claiming, you're using events in the game (Vardy missing golden chances) to make your argument for Daka to have started. That is using hindsight. If you are going to use it, why not do so wrt to the QPR game? That seems like a much better fit for the 'did we really need to start Vardy' question than a potential season definer against Palace.

Going for this level of egregious hindsight palaver in order to have a pop at Ruud almost makes me want to defend the guy. Run that (Palace sitting back) game again with Vardy or Daka starting, say a dozen times, and I reckon Vardy gets more chances, and scores more goals. What do you think would happen? Anyways... surely a better attack line re RVN would be the simple one - he left a completely gassed (your call) player on for half an hour.
