Couldn't, perhaps? Kante scored against us though, didn't he? He had the grace to look a bit embarrassed by the ease at which his shot beat Kasper though - he clearly wasn't expecting it to go in !

Btw, it'll be Ndid'i tomorrow. It's a trait of the language his name is from; the spelling - or more precisely, the positioning of the apostrophe - depends on the day of the week. Like that Cure song Friday I'm In Love, on Friday it'll be 'Ndidi. It's N'didi on Saturday, except to those who can't spell, and so forth. It's silent on Sunday, Ndidi.

He was. He’s been a bit hit and miss all season to be fair.

Wow I love learning about other languages
It is n'deed fascinating is'nt it?
It actually depends on the day of the week young Wilfred was born on. Useful really. You can tell what day someone was born on by the spelling of the name. I'm a Thursday's child, b'loo.
Thanks for clearing that up - I had previously thought the position of the peripatetic apostrophe was related to the phases of the moon.

The amount of misplaced passes he made was bordering on the ridiculous.

The bigger problem (for which patience on all sides is needed) is that first with Ranieri (ended badly) and now Puel, we're moving to a system where we keep possession and build from there , which is helped no end by NOT GIVING THE FRIGGIN' BALL AWAY CHEAPLY IN OUR OWN HALF. I remain a big Matty James fan, not least because he's taking one for the team in the role he is clearly being asked to play (presumably by the manager) to act as "minder" for those around him who keep doing this (i.e. just about everyone except Dragovic IMO). He usually does it quite well but being adrift from the errors (Simpson then Ndidi) left him in no man's land between Allen and Shakira in trying to stop the disaster which resulted.
I'm sure they will improve.... eventually.

It's Tuesday and you have completely neglected to insert the apostrophe. Shambles man.

Silva links up well with our attackers because he can pass a football accurately! what he does do that Jamesdoes not is drive the ball forward, perhaps the manager is asking James to stay put however, surely that is what Ndidi is for?
I agree Iborra is due a start I personally think we suit 3-5-2 far more now given our midfielders,the players appear to be low on confidence, Bournemouth will be a real test.
every one seems to be talking about players, i do agree but my problem is beginning to look a this manager he seems to me to want to use this short pssing game thats great if you have the players that can past it to the strikers but i dont think we have the players to complete that .im beginning to understand southhamton for getting rid.to me he plays the short passes to square.and thats defensive,hes well known for that.have got the right manager NOT SHORE.
Would a picture help?

Just like the apostrophe.

I think that it is currently more likely that Ranieri or Pearson are in charge for our first game of next season than Puel.
