He's been playing this way for a few weeks. There's been a noticeable change in his role recently where he no longer stops and pulls the ball back but he's aggressive and trying to create situations in the box. Of course he's gonna lose the ball more but he's also far more effective and his...

Lucky for him that the league is done or he might not have had another game this season. He's a good playewr but he's not even close to the level of the others.

Pep's got no choice but to carry on the way he has. No point having 3 good centre backs if one just rots away. You can see the improvement in Laporte recently with more game time so it's only a matter of time before all three are playing at a very high level and all three can form solid...

It was touched upon on a 93:20 podcast that maybe it’s actually Stones who is the rock and Dias is the benefactor rather than the other way round as has been touted most of the season. I think that’s true, there’s a noticeable difference when Stones doesn’t play. He looks like a man mountain and...

Definitely getting better with minutes and his confidence with his passing has increased recently too. Back to the old Laporte last night of carrying the ball forward and looking for a forward pass. Still not near his absolute best but even this level is better than most.

Some bad takes in here. He’s up and down because he’s playing more aggressively - running at his man towards goal instead of running down blind alleys or constantly pulling back. He’s been really good these past few weeks but those that want to will only see the times he loses the ball which he...

Mahrez rounds off a brilliant few weeks with a wonderful game. His form is so reliant on his decision making - when that is right he is close to unstoppable.

Looked old and tired today. Thought he could have come off after 50 or so minutes because players were getting by him far too easy.

Transformed the game. Their defence went from taking the piss to shitting themselves. It's incredible the impact he has on games, either as one of our best defenders or in attack. 23 years old, nearly 80 goals and the work rate of Paul Dickov. Absolute legend in the making.

I've heard some bollocks in my time but that interview from Kohli was a disgrace. Why on earth are so many people going on about it being the straight ball getting people out? Of course the straight ball is the danger when 80% of the balls are turning round corners. People have lost their minds...

Wonder how all the hystericals are feeling today. Form a queue behind Michael fucking Vaughan.

England had just won 6 straight away tests, won most series they’ve played and twatted India on a flat pitch. They are simply losing to a better team in their perfect test conditions. The England test squad is in a better place than it’s been for years, let’s not get irrational about this. There...

Complete bellend. Bloody good cricketer though, we still miss him.

What the fuck happened? Half an hour break?

Stokes is all over the place against Ashwin. England's only hope of winning this was for it to not turn like this until day 3 and the seamers taking the wickets. The fact India went in with two seamers tells us what we needed to know but it doesn't make England's selection a bad choice as such...

Exact team I’d have picked. England just have to hope seam beats spin here because they’re not gonna win a spin v spin battle. Feels a bit like all eggs are in this basket so they have to go perform now. Just worried about the tail, maybe could have gone with Bess for that alone.

Just a brilliant footballer. That was a great cameo.

Clearly Rodri for me. Absolutely perfect performance.

A brilliant, brilliant win. Slightly disjointed team, nowhere near our best against a very decent side who put a 90 minute shift into the first half. We were so patient and never got out of second gear in the end. That was a win very different in style to some of the games we've played recently...

Good to see them go back on it, Root did so too. But the fact it happened and the way it was done so differently to others tells us all we need to know. The England cricket team has nearly always been a boys club where if your face fits and you’re a certain type you’ll be grand. If you’re Mo...
