You're counting penalties won though mate.... Add another six assists.

He so needs a chant Leroy's will probably get old quick and we'll need a proper one but at least he has one... even if it's just a simple *dun da dun da dun* "Raz!!!" clapping chant.

I love the bromance between Raz and Leroy. Just watched the highlights on ESPN FC and caught Raz giving Leroy a kiss lolol.

How about we go for the dark knight rises one?

Some fucking eijit was on about this in the match day thread...

He is brilliant.

There was one moment, which was not his assist, nor the goal, that caught my eye. He was pressurized by the opponent in a tight space right about the halfway line, but didn't panic, and created some space to operate with his lovely body movement/dribbling. Then immediately played a vertical, but simple pass forward to Silva, who had a large space ahead of him and thus we were attacking in numbers. He's showing some brilliant intelligence and it was a sort of pass KdB and Silva make regularly.

Last year this time I thought Kelechi is the better player because of this intelligence, but Raheem has stepped up a level and is a complete fucking player these days. Love him.

Have we got to the bottom of whether or not he was definitely booked yet. Mixed views on the post match thread.

He's superb. He's having a great season and was a constant threat last night.

 

[Jazzman]

Can he play in the return leg or not? Can't seem to find out if he got booked last night or not.
