Looked totally gassed at the end, pretty poor considering the amount of time he was on.

Lee Ryder gives him a fucking 8/10, the tool.

SO much better than Joselu and Gayle, must start Mitro. He attracts multiple defenders due to his physicality and that creates more space for others to play. With Joselu teams are more than comfortable leaving one defender on him.

Best two club captains of my lifetime.

I think some people are a bit dismissive of the 'doesn't make clangers' praise given to Elliott as if it's something that all keepers do. Personal choice but I'd rather have someone that does the basics well than someone like Darlow.

Rewind 5 seconds and you'll figure it out.

Was a decent effort to be fair to him.

Needs to be back starting.

The one thing that I will keep criticising Rafa for is Mitro not being more involved. Other than that today is just one of them games.

Yep. Could have had a point in all 3, just not to be.

I'd have Dummett every time over Manquillo like, positionally Javi's very poor at times.

Got an element of sympathy for Joselu and Perez facing that Palace side made up of mostly holding midfielders. Was a properly negative tactical setup by them, to our credit that we dug out the win.

He took the piss with ticket prices at his testimonial. For charity?

It will be a negotiation point, nothing more. He'll have a value on the advertising and he'll want closer to the £400m if there's to be no lingering Sports Direct-ism.

He'll have a worst case acceptance offer that is a long way below £400m, putting a starting figure out there is just business logic.

That kind of money (or anywhere even approaching it) invested into the infrastructure of the club would be incredible. Rafa is the perfect man to lead that too.

I've always said those Arabian countries have an absolutely excellent record on human rights.

People banging on about wanting Keegan back is part of the reason we get ridiculed by the media and other fanbases. Yes it was great but that was over 20 years ago, time to move on.

We really really don't.

I was watching him yesterday and thinking of the role Okazaki plays for Leicester, in terms of successful #10's it's probably the best style for Perez to emulate.

Anyone calling it cheating is just being salty. Long in that position has nowhere to go, his best outcome is to win a penalty. The fact he was able to draw the foul is good play from him and stupid play from Lejeune. It's a stonewall pen and I don't think any of our players / Rafa even argued the decision.

He deserves to give away a pen for the stupidity of the tackle. Long was clever, no one would argue if one of our guys did the same.

Joselu aside he's light years ahead of this version of Gayle.

Bramble had a history of it though and did it throughout his career. There's no indication that's a feature of Lejeune's game. Don't disagree at all but you cant say Lejeune had a great game bar that mistake. He fucked up, simple.

He was only being rotated in for Clark to rest anyway, and what you've said up there is what people used to say to defend Bramble.
