    Tadic didn't go in with his feet, so hardly dangerous....nothing like the elbow on Stephens or the foot up attack on Lemina.

    Zabeleta will give away a number of penalties and dangerous free kicks now that he doesn't play for City.

    Good player though. Kept Redmond quiet for 90 mins.

    It was nasty, but at least he has apologised....to the West Ham fans

    By the by, how good was that goal organised by Gabbiadini and Redmond. Not getting mentioned enough. The timing was fantastic.

    I agree he's capable of much better, but I don't think it would cross your mind other than 'not his best game' if you didn't have wind of the other alleged stuff.

    Good player about three years ago. Had Redmond and Bertrand been on it today, I think they'd have ran him all over.

    I'd absolutely have Cedric over him.

    Anyone else notice that Austin was moving rather stiffly at the end of the game....like his hip was out.

    A forward who made a run behind the defence that leads to a goal...... well, well. Who'd have thought?

    Yes, it was excellent and what we've missed for a while is a forward who makes the right forward runs behind defenders. Gabby has being making the right type of runs since he joined. The boy is good.

    Not sure this thread is the right place to say it, but Danny Murphy, what a prick.

    Mahrez is too good for Leicester apparently - er, he won the ****ing league with them you tosser

    Fran, he'd just scored a 93rd minute winner; he had a hard-on.

    Didn't really notice it at the time tbh. I did think about midway through Antonio had done his hamstring again. I like the lad, and we won, so I'm glad he hadn't.

    Not sure, perhaps it is the other stuff that is jading his normal performance, or that injury (groin?) that seems to be niggling him at times?

    SO much this. I will keep banging on about this until our own players start picking those runs out.

    So probably all season then!

    He was excellent against Swansea and a bit off today. Think we should give him the benefit of the doubt there tbh.

    Just to add, it's obviously easier to see these from the stands, but he makes them the whole time (until he gets knackered/frustrated). He actually started coming deep in the second half just to get the ball (which resulted on one occasion in that banger from 30 yards).

    My kingdom for a classy/head up ACM. Imagine how many he'd get with an Eriksen type of player? (No Poch, you're not allowed to think it).
