    BTW, I had a cracking free stream. I would estimate it was about 720HD with zero hiccups. David Prutton co-commentating too. Couldn't have got much better really.

    OK, we could have won. I meant technically. ;)

    I guess he was hoping he could be.....when you bear in mind what we have to work with. Makes you wonder whether Puel really didn't want another striker or he was told he wasn't getting one.

    Four wins and two draws in our last six is great; hopefully we can win our two next home games, and anything we pick up in the two away games against Inter Milan and Man City are bonuses.

    Clasie came on, but Pierre was definitely playing deeper.

    Forster with some errant kicking today. Although he isn't physically tired I'd imagine having to concentrate fully each game takes it out of you mentally. Nice rest coming for him.

    On Romeu - just seen a replay of Vardy's miss and love how Romeu is screaming and fist pumping like he'd scored a goal when he blocked it.

    I think one of his problems in the second half was that he was staring straight into the sun. Perhaps he should wear shades, it's not like he ever has to do much apart from kick the ball out! <laugh>

    In fairness, he hasn't had much to concentrate much for the past few games. He's probably half asleep :)

    Hopefully De Bruyne is still out then, then City look beatable.

    This stat is causing quite a stir with my contract renewal.

    What little Forster had to do today he made look relatively easy except for one clearance in the final minutes. Woke everyone up. Of course there was the back passing which was unnecessarily exciting, but they didn't score.

    Funny, because almost for the entire game I felt we were going to have to make a catastrophic error in order for them to score. The game was in our hands practically all match. BBC Sport website says we held them. Nowhere near accurate. Truth is, they were lucky we couldn't find a way through.

    Stat of the day, for me, was when the commentator said Puel had made 40, FORTY, changes in our last 6 matches.
    You'll never keep a clean sheet, with all that chopping and changing.
    Sort it out Claude. <whistle>
