naby keita scores and assists in leipzigs 2-1 win over bayern

come on lad

After the FA Cup draw, the BBC presenter read the script that had Chelsea playing ManU in the semis. Sadly for her, she didn't realise that Zola and Cech had ignored the chilled ball protocol.

A Southampton Man U final will be interesting.

For all of the slagging off of Bakayoko by commentators and pundits, one thing was very evident yesterday.

In the first 45 minutes, Chelsea dominated the game. At half time, Bakayoko was subbed for Fabregas. Leicester came back into the game.

haha is there anyone left who believes these draws are random?
The UEFA CL from the QFs onwards are so obviously fixed it's just laughable.

I think that had as much to do with Okazaki replacing Ihenacho, giving Albrighton more freedom to get forward.

You’ve obviously seen far more of him than me but I’m thoroughly unimpressed. His first touch is worse than Ed de Goey’s and defending is marginally better. I’ll give him the benefit of doubt and hope he comes back stronger next season.

I'd agree with @Markyboy - If Leicester are playing quick transition football and/or counter attacking I really struggle to see how Ihenacho is a better option the Okazaki. His pressing and work rate often lead to turnovers in pretty advantageous positions and he is a much more willing runner for balls over the top.

Wilfred N'didi is a very impressive player and statistically the best in his position in the EPL. I hadn't realised how many headers he wins until yesterday. Composure on the ball still needs work but looks to be benefitting from playing with Iborra/Silva both of which possess excellent touch and technique.

Chelsea's first goal was a direct result of Ihenacho's failure to move the ball quickly and accurately to Mahrez on a Leicester counter, who then got mugged by 3 Chelsea defenders. Ihenacho has potential as an out-and-out striker, but he can't link the midfield to Vardy, Mahrez, etc. like Okazaki can. Okazaki looks clumsy, but he's a hugely underrated player.

Just like Son at Spurs.
In a lot of people’s minds Asian footballers can’t be any good.

Just like Son at Spurs, but with a Premier League winner's medal...

#trollingcorny

totally with you on Okazaki so under rated. works so hard can link play and can finish.
what's not to like.

It’ll be one more medal than any of those players will win at Spurs for a long time to come.

BBC presenter

She's awful. She was awful when she did the travel on Radio 5. She was awful when she co-presented Danny Baker's show. She's had a succession of awful TV appearances hosting various programmes (WTA tennis, athletics, football on BT Sport, etc).

Her and Gabby Logan can get in the sea together.

Warnock moaning about yesterday’s cancelled game can do one. The game was cancelled because the bad weather made it dangerous for people to get to and from the ground and had nothing to do with us having loads of injuries right now so fancying a week off.

Heal up soon players.

Son’s a better player.

Ha, you can't resist, can you?

avoided it for at least half a day.
you're lucky I'm not going full multi_grooves and rebutting each and every spurs slur.

It’s only worth it if you do it 2 days later.

How’s @Multi_Grooves anyway?

he's good, saw him on friday, he's excited about the future for Liverpool with Keita's arrival next season.

Slur? It's constructive criticism x

Without a medal.

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Looks like Salah is off to PSG, RM and Barfa in the summer. They should chip in 200million euros each and all buy a small piece of him. A new ownership model.

should make up for the money we lost on benteke sakho carroll markovic grujic and origi

break even for the last decade ?
