That season...was a lot
‘kin hell that went quickly!A year ago today.
Oh wow. Wasn’t ready for that this morning
The one and only game I took my wife to. I warned he after the game not to expect that every week. I’m very good at tempering expectations in our relationship.....A year ago today.
Two things stand out from that:
That a professional footballer who once cost in excess of £25m made one decent pass should, quite honestly, be the bare minimum. This is like spending 20 grand on a new 8K TV and being impressed that it gets the snooker on BBC2.Two things stand out from that:
1. The weight of the pass from Marhez to Vardy is just sublime. I could watch it on repeat for days. Feels like something we wouldn't see from the current team.
2. I thought Slimani actually looked alright. Played a good through ball for the 1st.
Think you're stretching it a bit to imply I was saying anything other than; in the 4 min highlights of one game in which we beat Pep's Man City, he played alright.That a professional footballer who once cost in excess of £25m made one decent pass should, quite honestly, be the bare minimum.

No I realise you weren’t overstating it, but we know he’s capable of alright, we know he can pass without falling over his own feet, and we even have evidence that he knows — at least on a conceptual level — how goals are scored. Just let him be a terrible former player nobody remembers in 10 years.Think you're stretching it a bit to imply I was saying anything other than; in the 4 min highlights of one game in which we beat Pep's Man City, he played alright.
Like an expensive Zak Whitbread?No I realise you weren’t overstating it, but we know he’s capable of alright, we know he can pass without falling over his own feet, and we even have evidence that he knows — at least on a conceptual level — how goals are scored.
