The ref doesn’t even know basic laws of the game. Wonderful.

He went from impersonating Walcott to impersonating Bella-Kotchap.

He’d been asking to come off for over five minutes, no idea why it took so long to get Smallbone ready.

Time for some good old fashioned lucky muffins.

Nobody in the same postcode as KDH for that through-ball.

Full Walcott there from Rothwell.

With McC in goal we can’t build attacks from the back, the defenders are having to drop deeper to give him an option and Leicester are winning the space in front of them. Say what you like about his shot stopping, this is what we lose without Bazunu.

How do you manage to be offside there, you plank?

Statistically, the keeper is most likely to dive one way or another, so above waist height straight down the middle is the most likely place to go in. A miss is a miss, whether he puts it wide of the post or over the bar, it just looks worse.

Not sure how Brooks keeps starting ahead of Fraser. The latter is definitely better IMO.

I love how you’ll say that here but on the Israel thread ask why Egypt should take Palestinian refugees as it’s not their responsibility.

Rothwell has scored four very important goals since he’s been here. Alcaraz scored two, plus a third nothing goal in injury time against Blackburn. Alcaraz absolutely should not have been in the team every week, he gave the ball away a lot and didn’t look on the same wavelength as his teammates. Truth be told, he’s done very little since a very short flurry of goals when he first joined. Put it this way, if their names were José Rosario and Charlie Belmash, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

That would be the plan which worked brilliantly away to West Brom and Ipswich?

He hasn’t proven he’s a PL player, if he had we’d’ve been fighting off bids for him in the last two windows. He's mk.II Gaston Ramirez. He may well turn out class somewhere but it doesn’t look like it’s going to be in England.

Why is it pointless, getting a loan fee for a player who wasn’t doing much here? I just hope we get a decent fee for him in summer.
