Obvious MOM today...you know who.

Considering this was our 37th league game of the season, the spirit, effort, desire..and sheer energy on exhibition today was truly staggering.

Why any player would want to [potentially] leave this club is beyond me.
Pure greed. Nothing else. A bunch of 'kids' on $70k p/w say it's not enough. And don't give me the 'he might be homesick for the north' crap. It's greed pure and simple. If that's true, then it's funny how he's been happy his time at Spurs (specifically walker obviously) and someone offers to double his wages and he feels homesick. Garbage, and we do not need that kind of character in our team.

I think we'd all feel homesick for double our wages. His career could end at any moment and it's definitely the smart move to double his money for the same job, whether it's the right move for football reasons - that's another story.

So we start where we like to start, the selection. And for this game Poch selected Lesniak and some other players. And for the first time this season he got his selection absolutely spot on. Tactically Poch set us up to do some stuff on the pitch, but what was more interesting was how he'd set us up tactically off the pitch for the initial phase, with Lesniak clearly at the forefront of the tactical application and the key to how we were going to go about things.

The game ebbed and flowed, it was a mostly a dull affair, us with our passing to everyone, banging in goals and whatnot, Leicester with their kicking the fucking ball for Vardy to chase and pretend to be fouled and shit, but the tactical application of Lesniak on the bench had the home side rattled, they had no answers to this ploy.

And so it was, with the game balanced delicately on a knife edge for 86 fraught minutes of a tight tussle, Poch's chose this penultimate game to unveil his seasonal tactical pièce de résistance, The Lesniak.

And from then on Lesniak took the game (nay, English football) by the bollocks and ran the show, as you'd expect. Winning the ball, 100% pass completion, one assist, one key pass and but for Kane's utter inexplicable fucking greed, when taking the hatrick shot instead of playing Lesniak in, he would - nay should - have had a goal too. This was the complete CM performance that turned the game in our favour.

The other tossers - Ho hum bumblers.

Lesniak - They don't call this kid the Slovakian Cambiasso for nothing.

I think that is based on user habits...

His name does sound a bit like (1) a crazy lesbian or (2) someone who is crazy about lesbians...or possibly both I guess.

Either way, a strong name to go with a magnificent team performance.

That was lovely stuff

You can tell spirit is high in the SC camp when folk are letting Sissoko off with that horrorshow of a performance. 99% of what he did tonight was horrific (the other 1% being his nice work in the run up to Son's second). He looks so low on confidence: the simplest of passes being shinned out of play; weird MMA-style tackling; even his throw-ins were shortcuts to a Leicester attack.

Hopefully he wasn't tasked by management to "prove your worth Moussa!", as tonight will have proved he's worth about £250.

People moaning about his lack of confidence yet pouncing on every opportunity to slag him off.

If I had the millions Walker must have, I honestly don't think doubling my wages would take priority over the quite extraordinary process that's going on at WHL. It's like Arabs wanting more sand (for want of a better analogy).

It's about status, where you are in the larger pecking order. For Walker, England's first choice RB, it's looking at the likes of Clyne, on nearer 100k, and knowing that he's worth at least that. Look at what happened to Sandro after his injury. Financially, that's probably cost him at least several million.

He is not just low on confidence he's just shit. I will never understand why we signed him and we will do well to get back half what if paid for him.

Gave it to Son. He was involved in 3 of the 4 goals that came while he was on the pitch, and despite a few misses was a constant threat, and in my view the main player to put us into that commanding lead before he came off. Harry was great as well, and difficult to argue against someone who scores 4, but Leicester were beaten and demoralised before the last 2, and Son was the main man to do that.
