He was briliant

No I know that , Leroy / mahrez regen - I meant is he going to be out for a while , guess we’ll wait and see tomorrow / Tuesday

I'm starting to think that now, more than ever before, we get into any opponent's heads before they step onto the pitch. Opposing coaches are affected by us - and by that I mean that some are fearful of playing their best players in their best positions when facing us. For example, Chelsea should have played Palmer as a ten, but instead they stuck three sixes in there and hoped to somehow grind things out - all this from a club that spend, spend, spends!! Palmer looked lost today and we snuffed him out (good player though he clearly is). It's weird watching a megabucks (megabollocks) club like Chelsea being too afraid to play players in the roles they were signed to do. Am I talking nonsense? Anyway, I'm just ultra proud of the lads today!!! Great feeling as well to watch some proper cohesive football to get excited about after the Euros.

Can someone clear up why Haaland was booked?

Light blue shirt.

The one at the end where Rico collides with the post - is a typical one where walker gets caught dozing. Great performance so hope he gets a lot more game time this season

Light blue shirt.

Foden - solid but quiet

...but great defensively imho.

...but great defensively imho.

He was incredible defensively, Numerous times he was in a right back position making blocks and interceptions.

He was excellent in possession also today going forward.

Good performance from Phil.

If it’s a reoccurring problem would that not suggest it’s a problem as in needing surgery one day ?

Is this verbatim? Do we know this. I'd not heard anything about any issue with his knee before. It looked bad from his reaction on screen, yet he played on til ht.

We are on for 114 points at this rate, wonder if they can give us a bonus one...

I had to see the game later and when the second went I saw the clock and it was 11:50
