    What standard is Frank setting for you nowadays <laugh> I’m just finding it really dull, I don’t get excited by Evans and Fofana passing back and forwards between themselves and Ndidi standing with the ball for about 30 seconds because the rest of them are just standing still...

    No doubting he was caught, I just found the slow mo flop onto the floor funny, like he’d be shot only on a delay!

    Yeah that's right, every other team in the league is fearful of your explosive, attacking game.

    Or we play this turgid ****e every game and it's got nothing to do with you guys.

    <diva> it's the freezing temperatures mate

    Always the way... You win you play well, you don't have it all your way and you're not at the races... Its actually just a tight game imo..

    Perez or Under for Albrighton would be a start, maybe Perez as he has looked alright recently and would be up for it against you guys and having 1 player on the pitch who looks up for it would be a start, sorry 2 as Schmeichel looks like he is <laugh>

    Tbh a poke on the eye is painful... I think he did the right thing, rather than play on and risk conceding cos hus vision was impaired...

    My advice would be to stop fouling him

    I do agree with the second part there, we seem to either win comfortably or being completely out of ideas. I think that is why my perceived negativity sometimes is just reality at knowing it’s one of those days again. I can’t honestly say any of the games we have lost this season I felt we were unlucky as we just didn’t show up. They need a bit of spark and to come out and dominate.

    Looked more like a scratch on the cheek to me :emoticon-0148-yes: there was no malice in that one, they were both looking at the ball unlike Wilson who looks at the man not playing the ball...

    Similar for us to be fair, still got Ricardo and Soy not in, Albrighton I don’t think should be near the strongest team

    I don't watch all your games by any means ... but I do watch ours ... we'd won all our away games bar Liverpool prior to the draw at Palace... scoring lots of goals ... so not that surprising that a club in your position thinks defence first... even at home.

    No malice or not it hurts and it intensifies after..

    Like I say Maddison spent 3 minutes pretending his knee was hurt

    He didn't play the man either. Just your lad landing awkwardly.

    Looked like an impact thing with Maddison, he has had a few injuries this season and last so probably wanted to be sure..
    Where is Saint-Maxime by the way?
