Only 51% possession. Low for us at home that.

We have been sloppy and lethargic in spells of the game, IMO .

What were we claiming? Handball or a foul?

Foul on Mahrez as the ball was squared.

Dave is still brilliant,wish he would stay an extra year

Walker's been very good today. Nice to see Mahrez grow into things.

Walker may fill in at CB if Laporte is out for a while.. Cancelo RB. We have options.

No need to worry... yet :)

Dinho does looks suited to centre back, very, very composed, reads the game so well. Pep knows what he's doing didn't he have Yaya at centre back in Barca

In a one off game it's fine, but I worry if he's forced to play there for a significant part of the season. Then again, he did well with Mascherano too.

Should be 4 really but we are struggling to keep hold of the ball.

You spelled future UEFA Player of the Year Garcia wrong. ;-)

We'll probably have to wait 4-5 days to hear about the nature of Laporte's injury. Fear it's bad.

Really hope it’s not serious for Laporte. We’ll be fine if it’s a 4-6 week injury but an ACL would be absolutely awful. He’s probably our most indispensable player (along with Ederson) considering how well stacked we are in other positions.

On a positive - Mahrez has been fantastic.
