Best Boxing Day match I can remember. Bold starting line up by Silva insofar as ringing the changes Tweaked it early. Got a goal. Forced the second. Vindicated.
Probably, but who would replace him? Gray is completely out of form, Sinclair doesn't appear to offer anything and Okaka looked in even worse condition than Richarlison at the end.
Strangely enough I thought that when Okaka came on he created a different set of problems that Leicester took a while to get to grips with. Gomes really earned those three points for us, but I thought that many in the team really worked their socks off. Far from pretty, but a gritty display, and the better side won.
Guess I'd go Gray and hope he can build his confidense back up. With Okaka ready to replace. Just would hate to see Richarlison breakdown and be out for weeks. He just works so hard.
When oh when will Bournemouth luck run out? Their third goal was offside and put in by Wilson's hand, the lino disallowed it but was over-ruled by the ref
A win and improved display - just what Santa ordered! Fairly solid defensive performance and Okaka certainly added some presence up front.
https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...premier-league-match-report#comment-110134241 Did I really fall asleep and miss a Vardy disallowed goal? Or was 'Paul Doyle at Vicarage Road' really 'Paul Doyle not at Vicarage Road'?
Was it Maguire who tried to handball in the ball at the end? Gomes was furious. Not often you see that. Gomes MotM for me. He is legend material through and through. He fights with a passion every game, I love him. Agree with kc about getting Gray a bit of confidence in place of Richarlison. Gritty win we needed. Maguire (if it was him) should get a ban for that blatant attempt to cheat, imho. He deliberately tried to cheat and that sort of thing should be dealt with stringently. It won’t be, I’m talking how it would be in my perfect world, which has a half-decent FA that cares about the game of football, not just the sound of the register.
Molla Wague's goal for Watford in their win over Leicester means the Hornets have now had more different goalscorers in the Premier League than any other side this season (13).
If that was Dragovic then it was worth a straight red by itself. Similar to the Spurs sending off the other week. Couldn’t believe that wasn’t a yellow.
Well that was a round trip! Left S.Lincs this morning for the match, then drove back the whole way in the rain to in-laws in Norwich. Worth the trip though!
