Leics haven't won or scored a goal this year either?
I think they'd gladly take that mate, most managers will tell you, you have to win your home games then anything away is a bonus.
Out of the 14 sun pundits today,11 have Palace as most popular to go down. , then Boro 9 due to lack of goals, Hull 5 with Leicester, us 4 with Swansea but Bournemouth only 1 that is a surprise they are poor in defence and have 3 defenders out injured . Leicester have the best players out of all of us but they are not doing it, like C Pal it will be close again this season. Soton will get out of it though like Watford, Burnley and WHU I reckon 35 points to keep us up.
Interesting that. That 2 points separating the bottom 6 is crazy. Last year it was 15. Even discounting Villa the next 6 teams was a 10 point difference. Plenty of twists and turns left in this yet.
Yep - 1 point from 15th this season, last season we were 9 points behind 15th although we had a 6 point cushion to the team below us!
N'Golo Kante! They refused to sell Mahrez but allowed their best (by far) player to leave - I watched him for Chelsea the other day, he was playing left side of DM. Then he was playing Right side of DM. Then he was covering left back Then he was covering right back Then he was supporting the attack! He is truly immense - Drinkwater looks absolute garbage without him there
Ah I didn't realise that! In that case they should've renegotiated his contract in January and got £50m for him! He's immense - second best DM I've ever seen - after Cattermole of course.....
Stats!! I've watched them both play - admittedly only on TV (and when we've played Chelsea at our place) - and out of the 2 Kante looks a better player - but I still rate Herrera mind
