Anyone else think he is wasted at LB and could actually do a job like what Shaquiri does at the dippers. Seems comfortable on the ball and has an eye for a pass


We should definitely keep him for as long as he want to stay. Bags of talent, a great attitude, and can fill in anywhere

Aguero looks a tad off the pace so far. Probably a good thing to get some minutea under gis belt tonight.

So does Kev, apart from the goal. It's great that we can give them game time in a game like this. Hats off to Leicester for also playing a weakened team.

Could do with that linesman doing a few dipper games.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

So in the Workd Cup when VAR was in use I seem to recall the officials would give the benefit of doubt to the attacking side and if a goal resulted then VAR could determine whether it should stand.

Given those last two marginal at best offside calls that went against us I assume that doesn’t happen in England. Or at least when we are attacking?

Amazing how calm he is on the ball for being 17. He looks very promising

Ffs. Mahrez thinks he still plays for Leicester. Must be high on their list for completed passes.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

Hope De Bruyne gets some rest early in the 2nd. Not the best conditions to return from an injury out there

Leicester’s goalie has made the most passes for them. A shocking statistic, especially for a side playing at home

I'd agree that Kev has been very poor besides the goal. Given the ball away at regular intervals. Serg often needs a bit of time to get back on his game but has also been mediocre. Mahrez looks terrible. I can't get on with him in the side at all.
The three youngsters have looked decent along with Zinchenko.
Not sure what to make of Stones in that role. Not great going forward.

With Palace at home at the weekend which is surely as easy a game as you could pick, I’d be tempted to give him no more than 10/15 minutes in the second half
