I understand that argument. But imho Barnes would've been in Sanchez's thinking, perhaps Sanchez would been in a different position without the interference. Rodgers put Barnes there to have an effect.

You’ve explained it so clearly. Whilst that arrogant paragon of virtue Shearer just won’t open those slitty eyes or his mind. Barnes was simply put there to impede Sanchez, he did and he 100% would’ve affected his judgement/vision to a certain extent. It doesn’t matter that the last incident...

It’s almost impossible to have your cake and eat it with attacking fullbacks. Lamptey’s incredible going forward, but not as solid as Veltman defensively. Similar to Trent AA who creates bucketloads of goals, at the small price of being caught out positionally a couple of times per game.

It was archetypal Shearer at his worst, domineering the discussion with his vehement blinkered views. My way or the highway zzzzzzzz. Leaving a token 20 seconds to talk about Cucurella. Pathetically managed by the programme, for example, they could also have looked at Trossard’s brilliance...

Nah. We played brilliantly for most the game, outfought them, players potentially affecting a goalie’s judgement are offside. But moreover, WE WON, DWELL ON THE POSITIVES ON MARVELLOUS DAY TO FOLLOW THE ALBION, PINCH YOURSELF, HAPPY DAYS.

We deserved this, the last half hour was just one phase of the game, outstanding effort from our players as well as showing quality with the ball.

Shock, horror, the vastly more expensive team saw more of the ball, who cares. Otherwise, we were their match over the 95 minutes.

Exactly. Anything that might affect the goalkeeper’s judgement, thinking or sight-lines ….. …. is a good old fashioned offside.

Spot on, we’re rewriting this game as if Leicester bossed us. They did for the first 15 minutes but only winning a series of corners, Barnes was the only stand out player then. Then inevitably with that club’s spending power, they dominated after scoring. In between, we were brilliant...

I go to these games against the big spenders (£482m in their case) fearing the worst but hoping for the best. An emotions insurance policy.

They toyed with us, lots of corners, Harvey Barnes dangerous, then a magnificent 20 minutes. We’re hunting in groups: Solly & Veltman Cucurella, Welbeck & Lallana Trossard & Maupay Praying Biss The Boss plays on.

Solly?

The colossal A27 tailback to Patcham, I’m in it, suggests loads of late arrivals.

In a way the loss of Gross ain’t too bad, LCFC have pace for the counter everywhere. Demarai Gray highlighted a gaping vulnerability.

Not too bad at all.
