    Bergvall flattened by Davies! Well, that's a novel way for another injury! <laugh>

    Let's see if the ref finds his cards during the break...

    I know you're winning but Christ you lot really are dreadful aren't you. Surely Ange won't be seeing the end of the season?

    We lead at the break but it's entirely undeserved.

    Leicester by far the better side.

    Sarr and Bentancur need to offer much more, they've played fewer games than most recently.

    Son and Richarlison have played well. Kulusevski can barely walk and as I said before the game, it has reached the point where it is counterintuitive to keep playing players who are clearly exhausted.

    Mikey needs to come on asap for him.

    We’ve just about been the better team though Leicester have had their share of chances. Feels like there’ll be a goal in this for them so we need another or two ourselves.

    Porro’s been great, running the line too which is great to see - **** the inverted bollocks off! Sonny also lively and could’ve had two worldies albeit one probably was more a cross than shot.

    Yeah he's an awful manager, probably the worst we've had since Jacques Santini.

    I predicted months back that late Jan/ Feb will be when he gets binned. So got about 2 weeks to see if I really am Mystic DH.

    It will be interesting to see if Leicester have done their homework on how to dismantle Spurs in the second half.

    Russel Martin is still available. A lot of people out there seem convinced he'd perform better at a bigger team :bandit:

    Wait for the end of the transfer window and get rid? Unlikely I would have thought. If they did, then it is a Mason caretaker for the season and frankly I see more value to see if we can turn around our form with Ange.

    I think if you squeeze past Liverpool you might keep him around for the final. Though if I remember rightly you did sack Mourinho (of all managers FFS) right before a league cup final?

    Not a great half - and the porous MF is putting the defence under too much unnecessary pressure.
    But a good goal and a few good moments, with Bergvall, Porro (Poirot!) and Sonny the standouts.
    Need at least another 2 - and if it stays like this for too long the nerves will definitely kick in.

    We did indeed. A cup win triggered all sorts if it had happened so we decided to scupper the whole boat.

    Yep because it’s the cheaper option than to sign a couple £30m+ players this window.

    That ****er always scores against us.

    Said there’d be a goal in this for them though.
