We'll be waiting a while; Daka's replacement will be treated frequently for ass splinters due to prolonged bench sitting before Vardy retires.

That run was pure sauce and heck, the entire passage of play was beautiful. Just think, Soumare with the confidence to make more of these driving runs, to trust himself to be able to play it forward on a consistent basis; he's a monster in the making and he's yet to even peak. It's probably also worth mentioning that this happened after Youri was subbed, which goes to show, we're capable even without our maestro pulling the strings.

Rodgers masterclass yet again; bringing Vestergaard and Bertrand to Moscow and 'accidentally' losing their passports. Oh, and we won. That's good too.

Rodgers tried the same thing with Vestergaard, but he couldn't find any clips.

And here I thought Daka was trolling United with a John Cena 'You Can't See Me' hand gesture, seeing as they clearly couldn't see him on the back post!

Definitely. I mean, we have the players for it in Vardy, Daka, Lookman, and Barnes. As for United, I can't help but think they were set up badly from the start; too many luxury players and little to no aggression outside of an overly aggressive Matic, so if Ole was hoping to utilize the West Ham blueprint by letting us play out from the back and not allowing our midfield time and breathing space, he done ****ed up with his team selection.

It was a fantastic performance, but the real test will be against opponents willing and able to press. With that being said, I think we'll see the current formation used for a while as it not only enables Iheanacho to play a part, but it also gives Daka the opportunity to shine without the pressure of playing up top on his own; the other added benefit is that a Daka/Vardy partnership is viable as they're both able to support the wide players by running the channels, and seeing as neither are the sort to drop deep, there's room for Perez or Maddison to bridge the gap between attack and midfield. The only downside is that Barnes will likely be left out.

So I heard, but it's better to be safe than sorry. How big are your feet btw? Asking for a friend.

Supposing his plantar fasciitis flares up again, are any of you willing to offer up a donor foot or two for Jonny? Doesn't necessarily have to be your own.

Here you go, folks. Listen to this to prepare yourselves ahead of time, seeing as we'll be hearing it a lot with Bruno in and around our box:

"Richest club in the Championship, you'll never sing that!"

Get the ball rolling, y'all! #AnnouncePerez

You know, I've often wondered if Vardy missed that penalty on purpose, letting Kane have the Golden Boot as a consolation prize.

Conte would be a fairly easy acquisition, supposing Top loads up on rope, rags, and chloroform. As for me, I'm all for Potter. It's not just the way he has his teams play, it's also his background and journey that appeals to me. When you consider these things, along with the kind of family ethos present within the club, he'd be a perfect fit.

Amartey was fine and not at all culpable for Legia's goal; Vestergaard has his own gravitational pull. If you play it back in slow motion, you can see Big Dan being drawn towards him, leaving just enough room for the shot on goal.

Jeffrey! Hey there, ol' buddy, ol' pal! Go Seagulls, amirite? Uh, would you happen to have Graham Potter's number? Asking for a friend who is also a fellow Brighton fan.

Oh wow, I knew about Congerton, but the physio team as well? Next thing, you'll be telling me Rodgers also has his own team cleaning the King Power toilets.

It wasn't all that long after losing to Millwall in a cup game that Ranieri was sacked, and Puel lasted a month or so after losing to Newport. I'm not saying it's a bad omen, but if there's no improvement over the next month or two, Brendan could very well be gone before Christmas. I'm still backing him and I hope he's able to pull us out of this prolonged slump, but if he continues to be stubborn in his tactical approach and team selections, then sooner or later, he's a goner. Stagnation is inevitable, sure, but when was the last time we looked consistently good? He needs to get it through his head that sacrificing attacking impetus for a false semblance of control isn't viable, especially when damn near every other team has us figured out. The next few games will be telling.

Rounded up, yeah. When you take that into account, as well as our xG likely being within the 20 minute spell that we actually tried to play, it's a positive sign. Even so, it remains to me seen whether or not Rodgers can make the right calls and play those with a point to prove.

**** Harvey Barnes. Brainless.

He was fired from his last job there for taking 60 minutes to replace the wilting flowers in the shop window and even then, he replaced the wrong ones.

Fofana in his current state would be preferable to Cags at the moment. Yikes.

It glides as softly as a cloud.

Bittersweet. I'm happy that he'll be moving to a club where he'll be appropriately used and appreciated, but I'm also sad that he never really got going here. IMHO, Brendan dropped the ball here.

It's one of Rudder's scouting drones.
