Don't want to turn this in to a politics thread; but if the qualification for the role is that there is at least one person who'd be worse, then its a sorry state of affairs.

 

We want the best person for the job; not simply anyone who isn't Farage.

If Starmer was a Leicester City manager, he'd be Claude Puel. Boring as hell, but in no way the worst we've ever had despite some wild-eyed hyperbole.

Debatable 

Stick it on the board and move on

[StanSP]

Bilal should do better! 

[lanefox]

Tempting fate here but a very good away performance so far by frustrating Villa

[desertfox2]

This version of Soumare can play. He's like a different player. 

[Mark]

This is a poor villa team with so many players out, but we still can’t muster an attempt

I reckon he might be slightly less shit. Fine margins though. 

[les-tah]

Bilal can pick a pass from anywhere but cant hit the target.. very much nose bleed shooter. Just aim for the bottom corner like its a pass man!!

[Noahfence]

Mavididi is such a frustrating player

He's kept Bailey quiet so far, all you can ask 

[Kinowe Soorie]

BEK has a very good work rate

[Haywood_6]

Must do better Bilal

If he can send Youri on his arse a few more times, that would be nice

[Kinowe Soorie]

Mav with a great challenge 

[FoxesWalk]

Thomas has been very tidy so far, fair play 

[Guest Bilo]

Anything other than a defeat here would be great. Show that we can compete at a good side away from home, a winnable FA Cup match next week and then Palace in a winnable home game with a little bit of confidence. Long way to go, mind.

I'd love to two foot Matty Cash

Confidence doesn’t seem to be there. Looks  scared of losing the ball so it’s backwards every single time.

Shame because he took on players for fun last year.  

He doesn’t seem to want to bring others in the game. He always ignores the overlapping player and sends it back or gives it away. 

I want to see him getting the ball higher up the pitch so he can get a chance to shoot.

There was always a player in there. Rodgers never had any interest in developing and nurturing a guy who was a young player in a different country. Maresca for some reason didn't want to know. Sadly, I think we'll possibly make a mistake in discarding Okoli too quickly.

Have to get Mav off, he's playing a different game.

[coolhandfox]

Hopefully Vardy makes me pay for this comment but I would play Daka away from home.

 

When are playing deep he doesn't have the pace to get forward.

[whoareyaaa]

Madvivi has not been very good again

Seriously this is 2/10 stuff from Mavididi 

does nothing right

Excellent attempt to talk in a Vardy goal. Love this.
