Slim seems like a really switched on guy going off the interview we conducted with him yesterday. I'm really excited about having him here and just have this feeling he will score plenty before the end of the season. We are already playing in a way which suits him more than Leicester ever did, and I'm sure Rafa will make slight tweaks to really see him flourish leading the line for us. Not sure we could have done better in terms of signing a striker in January than him.

Has Samir Nasri retired? Noticed he's not attached to any club at the moment despite being only 30. He's a quality player when he's at it like.

Really starting to love the guy. Has a way of his own when striding forward with the ball, electric to watch. He also seems to be becoming more authoritative in his own ability to keep the ball and try and fashion something himself. That's the player I saw at Norwich, but now a level above. Very well done to him this season like.

As awful as Burnley were to watch yesterday, they have played some genuinely good football at times this season so I wouldn't lump them in with Allardyce/Pulis teams. Yesterday they appeared that way but I reckon it was more a tactical decision based on players missing & the limitations of the players stepping in. Their starting 11 wasn't great and they done what they needed to get a point out of the game, as ugly as it was. And fuck me it was ugly.

We create a ton of chances. We've been really good in that department all season and is partially why I haven't been that worried about our survival chances. If we had a striker from the beginning of the season we'd be closer to top half looking up than bottom half looking down.

You do know that's Steve Wraith, right? Is it? There's personal/selfie style videos on that feed though, of him out on runs talking to the camera and whatnot.

Joselu tries hard, he's one of the good guys in the stream of bad-attitude players we've had over the years. For that I can't be overcritical of him. He is a 5m player, 2nd or 3rd choice at most other clubs. It's Ashley's incompetence not Joselu's that sees us in this position - bare that in mind.

Purely Belter definitely

I don't think anyone thinks he is great mind, just that he deserved a lot more chances considering Gayle and Joselu consistently stunk up the place. He'll be gone permanently in the summer as Rafa clearly doesn't rate him. Yup, this.

Goal has turned out to be a genius marketing tool like, intentional or not

I was hoping we could repurpose the 'Demba scored 1 since Ramadan...' chant but we may be slightly too early.

Hope nobody else cottons on to these outlandish ideas.

Can be a hero here if he starts finding the net for us right away. Really happy to have Slimani here.

We just got bullied out the game with their subs. Burnley are one talentless team - awful to watch. Thought Aaron Lennon was canny for them when he came on Yup, if they had a quicker striker we would have been in trouble a few times with Lennon's passes.

Feeling a chant based on Kate Bush's Babooshka. Dubravka, Dubravka, Dubravka ya yaa...

Yeah there was a great moment where he used his body to protect the ball before breaking away from his man, that's the sort of attribute that serves a no.10 very well in this league in particular.

Hope the op is/has been a success mate. Not to be taken weirdly given I'm a stranger but you have been in my thoughts today after reading your comments yesterday.

Busy making a vid init.

S L I M A N I SIGNED

Great place for him to move that. Wish him well there.

Every one of them was genuinely dangerous. Belta of a left foot on him this lad - we've missed that.

What an awful thing to say. I really feel like this stuff gets said so often now that the universe can't help but agree and oblige. Terrible stuff. Literally so spot on - as much as many will write it off an nonsense. I wholeheartedly agree KaKa, great post.

Hmm... That's not true really though is it? Merino, Joselu & Atsu off the top of my head have contributed points by scoring having just been signed this season.

On his way to cult hero status, risen from the ashes lately having been written of by most of us. Great to see.
