They’ve already got Dan Barlaser for that role on way less money and more reliable.

If we can get a win against Leicester I'd love to see him given the last game to impress. I think like Gordon he's itching to do something, be it assist or goal, and once it comes I think it'll unleash him somewhat.

Have we discussed him in the corner wriggling away from two players then going past Caicedo? He really is more technical and complete than he gets credit for.

I do wonder if we'll need more eye of the needle type attackers next season. The fact we're even discussing him as a viable target feels hilarious. I also think judging anyone at Chelsea this year is a fools errand as they've been a mess on and off the field .

When he was pointing at him and arguing this was all I could see.

Love that this supposed headless chicken now has 13 goal involvements and roasted one of the league’s in form left backs.

Bodied Mitoma for the third to highlight a great night.

We needed him at his peak and that’s what we got.

What a player. Simply nothing else to add. What a player.

Can see an appeal dropping it to 6 months.

Gerhard Struber would be a hilariously shit appointment.

Big and strong are not synonymous.

It didn’t matter anyway, they got soft calls in the games after to secure points for this challenge.

Please I beg.

North (of London).

Last thing I’ll say - first time this season we’ve lost and the response hasn’t been rousing.

On this, feel like we need to refocus this week. The Tindall stuff did feel like a sideshow and not something we needed.

Needs a break.

Just one of those days where he picks the wrong decision almost every time. I think Murphy would have offered more.

The more I look the more I think that fan was one of ours that confronted Howe.

Thinking back to the Palace no goal and what those 2 points do for us now. Also, Firpo must be his step son - that tackle on Bruno is a red.

This. It ruins the balance and forces him to defend. I can understand it when the game opens up, but Isak was gassed here.

A truly mediocre showing by the usual standard. If we were too emotional last week this felt devoid of passion. Our defending has plummeted, and right now we’re needing two goals to win a game. Maybe they’re exhausted, I don’t know, but I didn’t see anything that felt like us at our best today.

Yeah, Modric had his breakout season then joined Spurs despite Keegan’s best efforts. I have enjoyed Hope’s work previously, but this reads like a shameless hit piece. It could have been an interesting look into his time at the club, but instead it’s a string of poorly researched anecdotes and punchlines. Allardyce was never likely to thrive with us. His style was antithetical to our aspirations.

Diaby and Isak on the counter…
