    You’ll be fine when Jota and Thiago are back mate.

    That’s an incredible stat by any standards tbh, but in the context of it being your lot, who until a few months back we’re unbeaten at home in what, 63 league games?

    To go from that, to 6 points from 36 at home in the 12 home games since Christmas is beyond belief tbh.

    Didn't they break some kind of record and then lose six on the bounce or something? Very strange collapse.

    Jota has been one of the few bright spots this year - well until today .
    Thiago is going back under the sale of goods act .

    Yeah, iirc it was 63 unbeaten then lost 6 on the spin and have won 1 in 8.

    Bloke was hyped as a game changer and turned out to be a wet fart in a wedding dress.

    As long as it doesn't involve getting anywhere near the ball.

    Inside the club they have always maintained he is the best finisher in training ... but he has at times been rather brain dead when playing ... plus we have never given him a decent run because we have tended to play a lone front man .. Vardy ...

    Have to say the combination is looking great and has surprised just about everyone ...

    Not complaining like ... some of Nachos recent finishes have been top drawer and he's way less selfish than in the past ... boy seems to have grown up.

    Watford have secured their return to the Premier League. Who do people think will be their top 3 managers next season?

    He has indeed been a game changer in fairness

    He’s currently in very good form, but his long term stats suggest that’s all it is, a decent run of form.

    Moyes making a double substitution. West Ham started the half very well, but they've allowed Chelsea back into it. Makes sense.

    Would agree with you other than the fact that he has rarely had more than a couple of consecutive starts since we signed him ... if we'd sold him in the windows don't think any Leicester fans would have batted an eye ... right now he's automatic and him and Vardy have really started to click as a combination ...

    We’ll see over time, he defo looks a goal threat at the minute, whereas previously you’d not really worry about him.
