Jota’s going to get MOTM for his two goals but Matip has been back to his best after a few dodgy games, player of the season behind Salah for me.
He was excellent today

Thought thiago was masterful, though the opposition didn't do a lot.

He was ok, I wouldnt go as far as to say he was excellent, but frankly if you asked me to pick out of Diaz, Salah, Mane, Jota and Firmino, I'd have Firmino at the bottom of that list.

That’s a great result for us. Spurs and Utd dropping points against weaker opposition and us getting a win away against a stronger side. Massive result.
There were Wolves fans laughing when we signed Jota
Can't imagine there was many, if any. He was a fans favourite

Love the way Robertson talks, add his work rate and there’s a future captain in there.
I thought that was a very good performance and the scoreline flattered Leicester. A bit better finishing and a tad more luck with the bounce of the ball in their area and that's 4 or 5.
I mentioned it at the weekend but I'll say it again, Jota's penalty box play is outstanding. I thought he looked a little lost on the right today and is far more suited to playing either off the left or through the middle but his ability to be in the right place at the right time in the penalty area is so good. He's like a throw back centre forward.
We've got a lot of games so we're going to need all of them and the best thing about the 5 we have is they all offer us something different. In games away to your City's or vs sides that sit deep and try to frustrate us Bobby will still be invaluable to us. There will be times where Jota will be better suited and times where we may end up playing a 4-2-3-1 with Salah through the middle. Enjoy the riches we have now.

I couldn't disagree more re his performance today but even so, for years we've had complaints from our supporters about a lack of depth in attack and now we have 5 top class forwards and now it's "he's not going to play".

I was referring to the lunatics on twitter and tbf, there's plenty of those for all sides.
Well I certainly never said "he's not going to play", all I said was that his case for the front 3 is getting weaker. Which I stand by, so you and I will simply have to disagree on this point

A lot of disagreement over that red card
Bruno Lage being a bit of a whinger here. There was nothing wrong with our goal
