0-0 Everton v Chelsea.

Can't rely on any team to do us a favour now.

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

Chelsea look less than convincing. Clinging to top four is the best hope they have.

I was going to ask for a translator but I think I've got it now.

I haven't., but then I'm not on first name terms with players in other sides. I presume it is something like that.

No he's just a very odd poster.

Mark Hughes breathing a huge sigh of relief at half time.

could Raheem Sterling score so many goals if he played in a crap team? like England

Alli could easily have seen red there.

He never learns does he?

 

[ChilcoSaint]

And then he gets a pen, no justice for Burnley.

Happens far too often, somehow he avoids cards on a regular basis. Could easily have seen red against City last week too.

Dele Ali is a disgusting football player!

Puel has Leicester on the counter again. I know some don't like the long vertical passes, but that's a lovely, simple goal.

Didn't even know there was a game tonight... 7.45 ko?

Vardys 50th PL goal apparently.

Puel? Thought that’s how Leicester have played for quite a while?

They were a bit more lethargic early in the year. Whether that is down to Puel or just their key players getting their acts together, I don't know.

More the later me thinks. Feeling within Leicester was they’d stopped playing or maybe I should say, performances had dropped, for previous managers.

Nothing wrong with a long, vertical pass (as this was).... it is the aimless lump forward I object to.

Back in the 70s/80s Liverpool were the footballing standard bearer, but they still played more long passes than most other teams. It is what is truly a pass or a hopeful punt that makes the difference.

Great pass from Leicester tonight - happened to be a long, high one

 

[SaintinNZ]

Some good results for the bottom 3 this week. I wish I thought that we were better than most of the bottom half. I see Swansea as the only team unlikely to avoid the drop. I seriously think we should be hitting up Rafa Benitez to jump ship .

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

Yeah, we should bully and unsettle someone else for a change!
