Agree with the last two comments.  I’m one of his biggest critics, but he played great today.

Fucking brilliant for Emis goal, I expected him to try and shoot when he nipped it away from Lloris. Great awareness to lay it on a plate for Emi.

Quality play for sure. Just wasn't sharp enough to get his shot away when Buendia put him through soon after.

I have to admit I was about to curse him for not diving.

Yes if that was Buendia in that position he be trying some back heel in?

Well done Oliie, nice header. Worked hard as usual. Not bad from the bloke who apparently just runs round a lot.

Odd that this morning I was thinking Ollie doesn't seem to score too many headers.

Can you think about his lack of hatricks for the Leicester game please.

I'll try.  I know one thing, he was like shit off a shovel to be first to the ball for his goal today.

He said he missed his Ingsy in his post-match interview and that he felt they gelled really well thank you very much even if you didn't think so.

I mean, it's nice they got on, but I'm not sure if you put, e.g., me and my best mate up front that amity alone would make much of a difference.

Tidy finish - maybe he will get better with some proper coaching.

I think he was defending their footballing harmony rather than the friends for life thing.

Him and Ings had about as much footballing harmony as me and the fit lass from the bakery down the road.

i.e. not nearly as much as I'd like.
