Post Horn Galloper

Perhaps it's time for all the numpties (and I include BR and Matt Piper) to finally (a) concede that Kelechi is not a clumsy leaden-footed oaf " 'oo doon't do enuff fuh me" or "can't play up front on 'is own" and admit that he is a prolific goalscorer and, given a decent chance, will prove to be a top class PL striker, and (b) finally shut up on the matter. If they can't do that, ponder how many goals we haven't scored and how how many points we have lost because of his inexplicable absences.

You are right, but balance that with a quote from the Good Book: "Judge not, lest thou be judged".

That is definitely correct

It's point that has been made already but I'll repeat it because it needs repeating. Kelechi came in today. He scored one and laid on two. What more does he need to do to gain Rodgers' confidence? A top PL striker's serious talent is being wasted.

You should have tried crossing the Luangwa bridge in 1969

Moderate success? We reached second in the old First Division! The best performance till 2015-16.

There are two certainties in life 1. Iheanacho is a top Premiership striker. 2. Perez will be in the team at his expense. Nowt queerer than football managers

Don't worry, Lads - Perez will be back next week.

Godfrey - are you sure that's on the Copperbelt? Patson played for Kafue Celtic - perhaps the reason for the green shirts? (Kafue is a long way from the Copperbelt, and Patson or Partson is a common name in the South of the country, or at least it was when l was teaching there 1969-72).

I actually played against KK's son, Weseli Kaunda, when guesting at left back for the teachers of Namwala Secondary School playing the senior students, in 1971.

I remember him playing very well as DMF in a European game in 16/17 - l think it was against Porto.

It can work but it all looks very rigid sometimes - the very opposite of total football. Thus, we have had Vardy (right-footed) on the left and Iheanacho (a left footer) on the right. It's worked for Kelechi but not for Vardy. Can't Brendan mix it up a bit and allow them to switch during games? The whole approach I think is for the winger/striker to cut inside, leaving space for an overlapping full-back like Castaigne to run into, and cross (rather like Albrighton overlapping Mahrez and crossing for Ulloa against Norwich in '15/16). As l said it works sometimes but at other times it all looks predictable.

I don't see why that follows. Chilwell proved his worth on loan at Huddersfield before becoming a player good enough to be recruited by Chelsea. Vardy was in non-League. Knight has excelled at Wycombe in a difficult season for them. We'll never know if he's good enough unless he is given a chance.

Rochester may not be a large city per se but the population of the metropolitan area exceeds a million: I.e. large enough to support an MLS franchise. Rochester Lancers played in the old NASL - I remember them being put to the sword by Pele and Chinaglia. So Rochester has something of a soccer tradition.

Yes - it's in colour now!
