Perhaps it's time for all the numpties (and I include BR and Matt Piper) to finally (a) concede that Kelechi is not a clumsy leaden-footed oaf " 'oo doon't do enuff fuh me" or "can't play up front on 'is own" and admit that he is a prolific goalscorer and, given a decent chance, will prove to be a top class PL striker, and (b) finally shut up on the matter. If they can't do that, ponder how many goals we haven't scored and how how many points we have lost because of his inexplicable absences.

You are right, but balance that with a quote from the Good Book: "Judge not, lest thou be judged".

That is definitely correct

It's point that has been made already but I'll repeat it because it needs repeating. Kelechi came in today. He scored one and laid on two. What more does he need to do to gain Rodgers' confidence? A top PL striker's serious talent is being wasted.

You should have tried crossing the Luangwa bridge in 1969

Moderate success? We reached second in the old First Division! The best performance till 2015-16.

There are two certainties in life 1. Iheanacho is a top Premiership striker. 2. Perez will be in the team at his expense. Nowt queerer than football managers

Don't worry, Lads - Perez will be back next week.

Godfrey - are you sure that's on the Copperbelt? Patson played for Kafue Celtic - perhaps the reason for the green shirts? (Kafue is a long way from the Copperbelt, and Patson or Partson is a common name in the South of the country, or at least it was when l was teaching there 1969-72).

I actually played against KK's son, Weseli Kaunda, when guesting at left back for the teachers of Namwala Secondary School playing the senior students, in 1971.

I remember him playing very well as DMF in a European game in 16/17 - l think it was against Porto.

It can work but it all looks very rigid sometimes - the very opposite of total football. Thus, we have had Vardy (right-footed) on the left and Iheanacho (a left footer) on the right. It's worked for Kelechi but not for Vardy. Can't Brendan mix it up a bit and allow them to switch during games? The whole approach I think is for the winger/striker to cut inside, leaving space for an overlapping full-back like Castaigne to run into, and cross (rather like Albrighton overlapping Mahrez and crossing for Ulloa against Norwich in '15/16). As l said it works sometimes but at other times it all looks predictable.

I don't see why that follows. Chilwell proved his worth on loan at Huddersfield before becoming a player good enough to be recruited by Chelsea. Vardy was in non-League. Knight has excelled at Wycombe in a difficult season for them. We'll never know if he's good enough unless he is given a chance.

Rochester may not be a large city per se but the population of the metropolitan area exceeds a million: I.e. large enough to support an MLS franchise. Rochester Lancers played in the old NASL - I remember them being put to the sword by Pele and Chinaglia. So Rochester has something of a soccer tradition.

Yes - it's in colour now!

Hines and Rowley were a great duo. I recall that there was more to Rowley's game than brute force. He started as an orthodox centre forward with, l think Fulham and WBA, but it was only on coming to City, and being converted to an inside left, that the goals began to really flow.

I wouldn't argue with it, although it doesn't follow that our great players of the past, if given the coaching and training that players today receive, couldn't succeed in 2021.

I hope that l have not become one of those nostagia-ridden old men always elevating the past above the present. There is always a problem with comparing different eras, when styles of olay have changed. But l do not think it is in anyway disrespectful of our terrific team in 2021 to say that we have had some really excellent players in past years who can be mentioned in the same conversation - and the player who has scored more than any other since the League was founded in 1888 might just be one of them.

To be English football's greatest ever goalscorer is a unique achievement and we should be more generous in recognising that. I saw him often as a kid but in truth my memories of him in the flesh have faded. How can we compare the relative merits of Chandler or Hine or Rowley with Vardy when we cannot see footage of them? At least we know them from the club's list of scorers - but there were undoubtedly excellent non-strikers in the great team of the twenties, who may deserve to be included in this debate, but never can be. It strikes me as odd that a hundred years or more from now Foxes' fans will be able to debate the relative merits of players of their own day with Vards, Mahrez etc and see the FA Cup being lifted by Kasper and Wes. It is a pleasure denied us when we speak of our great players of the past. But having often seen the cultured Jack Froggatt (part of the Pompey side rhat won the League three years in a row, and who represented England at outside left and later at centre half) as well as Rowley (but never Sep Smith!) I know that some of them were very good indeed.

A very good player and captain at a time when we were an established First Division club with two visits to Wembley in 1961 and 1963. He was part of the incomparable half-back line: Mclintock King Appleton.

There are few mentions of Josh Knight. He has played well for Wycombe - their Player of the Season - in what has been a difficult year for that club's defenders. Why spend a fortune in the transfer market without giving him a try at the top level?

I know how she feels. I have supported the City since I saw my first game more than 68 years ago. I never thought I would live to see this day. What a team! What a Club! What a day!

Agreed; Mark is playing really well. He may not be our best player but we are a better team when he is on the pitch. He has earned a place at Wembley.

Yes - this is Alex Solomons who has joined from Leyton. I live in Barnet (NorthLondon) and know his Dad

Interesting. I thought Youri was below par tonight but your stats tell a different tale.
