Palhinha is an absolutely phenomenal tackler and defensive player. Really good in the air too. He is really quite poor or the ball though imo. I don't think he would suit our style much at all.

was after we put this run together that I actually started thinking we could do it. We were poor in that Brentford game but still won anyway at one of the hardest grounds to go to in the country. I started thinking we were a legitimately good team then.

remember last time we qualified for Europe where we just signed Vurnon Anita and thought that would be enough?

getting both would be sensible imo. Each of them are capable of covering 4 different positions in our current system. That versatility is going to be important with more games next year.

this isn't true at all btw. He's better in pretty much every measurable metric this season. Just hasn't been fit.

most buzzing I’ve seen him. Legend.

why wouldn’t you want to taste white wine? you’re doing this wrong

I mean, it’s important to remember that he’s basically had no football this season as well. You can’t be disappointed when he’s not come in and immediately replaced Willock or Joelinton. He’ll have been rusty so to play as well as he did was very promising imo.

love him but Isak was poor when moved to the middle, like. Don’t think he won a single duel.

he was good considering the context of it being his first significant game time at this level. His only real minutes before this have been in the 4th division but you’d never have known that watching him. He had the right ideas, for sure.

who fucking cares

Isak has been very poor since moving central

don’t worry we’ve still got: Leicester competed passes: 87 Trippier completed passes: 110

Isak needs to be getting into the box more when we have the ball in crossing positions on the right. He’s the only height we have but he seems to be staying out wide

one of those one-twos is gonna come off at some point

Trippier coaching

Need to stop playing crosses from deep. Completely ineffective against a low block like this. Need to get to the byline and cut it back instead.

he makes it look like he’s about to fall over and then just ghosts past them. It’s so fun to watch

Anderson’s been a little unlucky. Keeps getting into great positions though.

brainless tackle. Clear red.

Big Jo / Isak left hand side masterclass incoming

am finding this way too funny

I'm up to a 4, I reckon

just had the lady who played Ada Shelby in Peaky Blinders in my shop and Villa scored. Feel like this is a sign we are getting gifts from Birmingham today.

David Brooks starting for Bournemouth. Good for him.
