Incredible save by Leitzig.

Are we being managed by Lee Carsley? Get an actual proper striker on FFS.

Unsurprisingly quite a few changes. Guessing Rantala is injured.

It's easy to believe when you're winning (in a league where you are so much better than 95% of the other teams in it). Maybe Vardy calling a players-only meeting when we wobbled during the run-in was an indication that the players were losing that belief.

The point still stands. MON got off to an horrific start. The results were poor. The football was dire. The fans weren't having him (Sheff U at home). The players weren't having him (he had a huge bust-up with Garry Parker after the Ipswich home game). But eventually he turned it around. Now maybe Cooper won't turn it around. But MON showed that it is possible. Cooper wouldn't have been my choice as manager. Yes, performances have been poor and his tactics and game management are a concern. But I think he deserves more than 7 league games before being written off, especially considering we aren't even in the relegation zone.

We won the xG battle 0.86-0.65 and that's the most important thing, right?

Rico Lewis gets nowhere near this England team if he's not at Man City.

Greek international qualified through grandparent.

Can only assume Carsley doesn't really want the job looking at how he's set the team up tonight.

Nailed on for I'm A Celeb too I reckon.

MON got off to a dreadful start. No wins in his first 9 games. Took over with us in 3rd and we soon plummeted down the table. The team could barely score a goal and didn't even look like scoring.

I'd be more worried if we were collecting fewer points than we should be.

Jamie will just have to keep playing into his 40's to help pay it off.

I was at that game too. In fact I went to 5 American Bowls in a row starting in '89 (although I seem to have misplaced the Raiders/Saints programme from 1990, or maybe I just didn't buy one that year)

I knew there was a reason we don't play in white shorts anymore.

🤷‍♂️

8 players have played in every league game so far - Faes, Hermansen, Justin, Kristiansen, Ndidi, Vardy, Mavididi and Fatawu (although Mav and Fats have not started every game). It can't be Faes, Hermansen, Kristiansen, Ndidi or Fatawu as they wouldn't be getting tanked up at an NFL game when they should have already left to join their national teams for international duty. So that leaves just JJ, Vardy and Mavididi.

Legend has it, amongst Raider fans, that recording and releasing this abomination in 1986 put a curse on the Raiders. All your favourites are here Izzy - Howie, Marcus and co. with some of the worst rapping this side of John Barnes

Nope. It was Top who sacked Puel in 2019.

I'd like to forget he did.

Amartey only played in the Bournemouth game under Sadler/Stowell after Souttar's arrival. Smith picked Evans, Faes and Soyuncu ahead of Souttar.

Smith started him at Man City and Newcastle when we played 3 CB's.

It was Sadler and Stowell that dropped him. He started every PL game he was available for when Rodgers was in charge.

Finished 0-1. Worth at least a point that performance.
