You’d never seen Maddison work as hard as Gallagher does, Gallagher’s work rate is magnificent.

He's so energetic. Deffo ahead of mr Maddison in the pecking order

What a job Vieira is doing at Palace. 
 

Given the turnaround in their squad and playing style, he is the manager of the season so far. 
 

I think Chelsea are a little overhyped this season. I still think they’re favourites for the title but had some good luck this season, think Man City and Liverpool have been more impressive overall. 

I'm kinda pleased for palace...it was a bold and brave move to change styles. 

 

He's doing well. But I'm not entirely convinced. I think after half a season, PL coaches will work out how to beat their press and identify where they are weak.

General moan, so much of the merch is shite tat. They even half-arsed the Leicester branded playing cards, would be a nice little gift if they had the players on.

Perez... Joker

Vardy....Ace

Said it for a couple of years. I’d take dyche. He lives in Northamptonshire and would jump at the chance. Certainly would not be a soft touch as we are now.

We would be distinctly worse than we are now if Dyche was here. 

[Sir Shep]

I don’t have BT sport but I imagine that they are fawning over Newcastle like no ones knows they’ve had a takeover. 

[Langston]

Vieira is definitely doing much better than I thought he would given what he inherited, but the table is so congested at the moment you can fly up it with a couple of half decent results.

 

Be interesting to see where he is at the end of the season, not mad on Palace but he seems a likeable guy.

Dyche or Rogers, Dyche or Rogers, hmmmm, I mean the football hasn’t been great this season but I’ve not felt the need to gouge my eyes out just yet.

Different players …..both midfielders but that’s where it ends …

He probably thinks they were lucky goals, they're 'smashing' them and 100% Brentford would win if they played them tomorrow. 

They were dominant today's post match assessment. Should've won.

Hoddle just said Rice is the 'best midfield player in the country'.

 

 

????

He isn’t wrong. 

[fox_up_north]

Always had a soft spot for Dyche. Just something about him I like. If he came here, the very least you could say is the players would fit for games and have that never say die attitude. 

 

The fact is Burnley are a relatively stable EPL club who are keeping out the likes of WBA, Fulham, Newcastle, etc. Much bigger places with more "glamour". Yet there they are, with an identity and keeping going.

I've never associated West Bromwich with the word glamour.

[StanSP]

Brighton aren't really attacking Newcastle at will. 

Passing around the defence. Not really penetrating Newcastle at all. 

 

And people want Potter over Rodgers?

Lost count of the amount of times Jake Humphrey said 'were expecting Eddie Howe to be in the stadium any moment now' when they went to him during their BT Score Programme.

People moan about the football we currently play under Rodgers... Dyche-ball is horrendous

[StanSP]

How is that a foul by Wilson on the keeper

 

Sanchez jumps in to Wilson. 

[reynard]

Don't care for Brighton but I hope they beat Newcastle tonight. In fact I hope Newcastle lose every game they play.

[StanSP]

Whatever happened to that sexual assault arrest/charge of Bissouma a couple of months ago? 

[Arkie Bennett]

Dive.

[StanSP]

Shouldn't be a penalty purely because Trossard takes an extra step then decides to go down

[FOXSE]

Whilst there is contact, trossard has control of his leg but chooses not to use it. DIVE.

[StanSP]

Referees are shite not seeing that extra step. 

 

Reminds me of what Mane did couple of season ago after Albrighton made contact and then went down after another step.

That is given, the one, which was much clearer earlier for Man City wasn’t  incredible 

[Langston]

G'won Brighton.

[RowlattsFox]

Ref didn't want to give that, you can tell. But didn't have the balls to stick by his decision.
