Perez has to get a shot in there or get properly fouled. That was neither.

Far too much time

Not sticking with Cisse.

Shearer's record is incredible. However, that particular stat is a bit misleading because he'd had getting on for three seasons playing as a starter in the English top flight, then called the "First Division", before playing in the Premiership. In other words, he had three seasons to get up to speed in games not counted as the Premiership. Foreign strikers like Aguero can arrive as pretty much the finished product, but the games in which they adjust to English football will be counted. To break Shearer's record, they'd have to start scoring on arrival. 100 goals in 124 games is an amazing run of sustained form regardless of whether those are your first 100 games or not. Basically unstoppable.

They don't get many clean sheets, so we should be able to work some openings. As against Citeh, try to give them no free gifts and take it from there.

Play like that and we're in with a shout.

Lino does it again

The international feed has Waddle in a weird "not a blatant mackem for once" mode.

Looking shakey now

What a take and finish!

Taking it meekly. Compare with Leicester at the weekend.

A rare case of decisions actually evening themselves out, in about five minutes as well.

Not a pen, but made for some quality slapstick. I don't mind Leicester winning the league, but I don't want it to be a procession. They're not good enough to deserve one of them.

That's a pen for Leicester tbh.

Cancel the pizza!

Although we want our game against Spurs to be meaningless, this is kind of fun!

Brave one this ref. Both good decisions, I reckon. Leicester were well niggly foul and diving against us. Today's game is no exception.

For me, the big difference yesterday was that we didn't give the game away. Against Norwich and Southampton, we lost the games instead of making them beat us. Swansea worked some openings, but weren't handed anything gilt edged. If you give away the first goal, the whole game changes. Man City are comfortably good enough to beat us, as are Liverpool, but we have to make them do it. By the sounds, Everton rested players to go all out in the Merseyside Derby, so it may push Klopp into trying harder than he would have done otherwise in that game. Europa League has to be their biggest priority, so we might get an relatively easy ride at Anfield. Again though, we have to play error-free.
