Yes, indeed so. When Kurt was with us before he went to Everton he was a really good player for us. So I'm delighted to see him come back and show some of that form again, after the setback against Manure. Yes, patience is much needed. I admired the idea of playing both Mount and Pulisic today, even though the latter seemed to be a bit overawed by the experience. They can both tear it up with the ball at their feet. What we need is solidity behind them in midfield. How good would it be if we could magic up Essien and Gus Poyet to play those roles. We have N'Golo, who's the best there is, but he needs others alongside him. The return of Ruben will be a huge plus, but we need to keep him match fit. The next couple of games, Norwich and Sheffield Utd give us an opportunity to get some points on the board. We have to capitalise on these opportunities.

Yep, well said, I agree. So forward with Mount and Pulisic for you then?

Good summary mate. Yes, I'm afraid it became obvious that we were going to struggle with about 10 minutes or so left in the first half. I thought the midfield looked weak when the line up was announced and so it proved. We had no presence there at all apart from N'Golo. We should have fielded Kovacic and played 4-3-3. All the same, Leicester are a good team and they Wolves and Everton are not going to be easy for the top teams this season. On another point, why do you think Willian wouldn't be interested? Surely this is his chance to step into Hazard's role, at least as best as he can? Pedro I thought started well but then fell away.

Yes, I'm afraid so.....

Leicester in the ascendency now I'm afraid. 60 minutes gone. Time for fresh legs?

Might be something to do with improvement from Leicester?

We're not so dominant now. I'd like a second goal please......

Nice one sir!

Hey! Enjoy Jane. If we lose it's your fault of course!

So is Willian still not 100% fit then? Or are both Mount and Pulisic deemed to be preferable? Similarly, is Tomori still not ready or is Zouma still preferred on merit?

Doesn't it also depend on whether we’re able to?

Yes, but that.s a problem with the new handball law and not with VAR per se

Good to hear from you again. Really!

Hey good news mate! Really glad to have you back. Still using Betfair perchance?

Leicester are a good team though and this won't be easy I think.
