Went to Gdansk in April for a birthday celebration with friends. Very pleasant city.

Does lots of good things in areas of the pitch which don't hurt the opposition. He won't offer anywhere near enough from an attacking perspective to be considered a nailed on starter.

Awful first half, much better 2nd when he decided to impose himself on the game. Just a shame his last 2 contributions were terrible balls into the box.

My electricity smart meter doesn't work which is a pain as it needs to work to be able to change to an Octopus tariff, which ive wanted to do for ages. Probably missed out on over £1000 worth of savings thus far. Have called my supplier a couple of times but they aren't bothered about it getting fixed.

Draper will need to improve his conditioning massively. The game is top 10 but he won't realise his potential unless he can cope with the physicality. He wasn't tested this tournament and gassed after 2 hours here, albeit in brutal conditions.

Of course, both LCFC and the Premier League are culpable. We're culpable for breaching PSR. The Premier League are culpable for not having watertight rules that have allowed us to avoid a punishment. Obviously it would have been totally negligent from the club had we not exploited the fact that loophole existed for us to escape punishment.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Whether they do in fact care, or not, about Leicester, Nottingham Forest fans' obsession over telling anyone who listens that they don't care is incredibly strange.

Basically reminds me of Faes but with far more pace and presence. Not sure it comes across that way on TV but he is an absolute unit. How good he becomes will be entirely dependent on his brain and if the aberrations can be coached out of him with time and maturity. Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised with him given the previous write ups. He was more comfortable on the ball than had been suggested.

Was interested to see the reaction from those watching on a stream. At the game, it's patently obvious we need a more advanced midfielder on who can receive the ball and get Villas midfield worried about threats behind it. We've looked industrious and the players are up for it, but we didn't get into Villas box until the 40th minute. We just won't create any volume of chances with this line up against any opposition, not just European level sides. Players like Skipp and Ayew have played well individually, but all the work is done in areas that don't hurt the opposition. We need El Khannouss to be a star from minute one.

As long as it is enforced consistently, refs being brave enough to clamp down on time wasting / game delaying antics is fine with me.

Pragmatic is a kind way of describing that lineup.

Broja is still dining out from a decent half season at Southampton a few years ago. Who knows if he's any good, but his stock is definitely down.

This is as good as a Championship loan move tbh. Some good players have come out of the non old firm clubs over the last few years.

I thought he was partially culpable for the second goal. As soon as JJ started committing to the winger, Vestergaard absolutely had to start moving over on the cover. Faes had the other forward covered. At worst he would have been in position to foul Iwobi and take a yellow.

What is he as a player? Doesn't particularly look like a grafter on the evidence of the first 2 games, which is the minimum we were expecting. It's not as if Mavididi shirked his defensive responsibilities last season either. Have to hope he isn't too comfortable with a 3 year deal and is motivated to show what he can actually bring as a player. He has been a total non entity in the first 2 games.

I'm blaming Vestergaard for that. As soon as the ball got played out wide he should have been shifting over on the cover immediately

Ayew getting straight to the top of that covered most fouled list already

Reid again. That was a clever pass by Winks and he's just on his heels.

Faes reminding us that he is Faes

Ndidi been sensational last 90 seconds of the half

There's no way Leno was getting to that.

Ndidi having a stinking first 10

Ben Chilada

Almunia to Chris Wood 13/14 season.
