I struggle to believe that any player like to start for either team would opt for Birmingham over us. We’re odds on to go up and Birmingham will almost definitely be in the championship next season.

That’s a subjective opinion. I highly doubt that Lampard opted to start Torp ahead of Eccles if he wasn’t match fit/sharp. Eccles was our MOTM v Stoke and scored v Birmingham so that point just doesn’t make sense and would be quite irresponsible of Lampard. Lampard came out and said himself...

Torp was subbed off in the 72nd minute, most of his stats would’ve been from the 1st half. I don’t have the precise breakdown but remember him winning a couple of tackles in the first half. It was all tactical from Lampard and he needed to adapt because our shape in the 1st half was exploited...

Agree on that. The point of going to live events is experience everything in the moment. That said, I do consume the content sometimes so where there’s a demand, there needs a supply.

Torp had a higher match rating than Grimes, Rudoni and Eccles too. Anyone singling out Torp is talking rubbish. He played well and don’t get where the negativity is coming from.

Good on him! 😂

I quite like it when people randomly support our Cov, particularly abroad. There's plenty of clubs to choose across Europe and even England so why us!? His predications were bang on too, 2-1 and Haji to score!

He topped more defensive contributions than anyone else in our midfield. 2 interceptions, 8 recoveries compared to Grimes 1 and 4, Grimes didn’t register a single tackle and was dribbled past once. Lampard set him up between Grimes and Rudoni which resulted in that central player (Torp) being...

This is nonsense, Torp was our best midfielder on Saturday, defensively too. Our problems in the first half v Leicester stemmed from tactical decisions, not personnel. That was addressed, hence why the second half was better. A player like Onyeka would improve us because he’s better than what...

We’ve entered a new stage of squad building. Before, the priority was development players who will have 2-3 seasons to get us up to the Prem. Now, we need players who can make an impact right now and thinking ahead, players who give us a chance of staying up next season. King and Austin made...

I seen this on IG with respect to the Manchester Derby. It summaries a how Leicester exploited our shape a little bit. We had a similar-ish diamond shape with the fullbacks so high, Torp behind Rudoni-Wright and Grimes either in line or slightly ahead of the CBs.

100% - it’s incredible output and if he keeps that up, will be a huge asset for the team. Sometimes tried a bit too much with flair touches and that annoyed people at times. You rightly identify an issue with Sakmoto, because he doesn’t actually take on defenders, if the WB overlap isn’t on or...

It wouldn’t count because it’s not a take on. EMC is on 29 and in the top 7% of dribblers in the league.

First half we got it completely wrong. We tried to win the ball high up the pitch and it failed and Leicester were able to bypass the midfield. 2nd half we tightened it up, Grimes and Torp actually played alongside one another and the issues corrected themselves. We looked comfortable in the...

When you play against the low block, you need wingers who can take on defenders. Esse had 5/6 successful dribbles v Leicester which is incredible output in 67 minutes. For context, Sakamoto has had 12 successful dribbles all season (i.e. took on a defender).
