Well not much to moan about today maybe a lack of support for Gray from some.
Last season i could understand it he was another Shlupp or Dyer that if running as fast as you can in a straight line made you into a Messi all three would of be world class. This season for those who want to see it he has added the important bit into his game the final ball. He's our own Ronaldo in the making.
His goal against Everton and it was his goal despite world class first touch and finish from our two world class players aside.
Marhez has got the love he deserves back and the freedom to go do your thing. As for Defending did you notice him covering with Simpson he did well.
Iberia had a class game those who say he's slow or sluggish Pah he just knows where to be at the right time with out running around like a headless chicken more Cambisao.
You noticed the difference when King came on despite both should of scoring .King was like a house red from an Anstey curry house compared to Iberia's Marqués de Cáceres 2011 Rioja.
Kasper pulled of one worldy and some good saves to keep us in it.
We played with the ball out from the back as much because we wanted to as to the Stoke tactics.
The players have have responded to change 10 years with the Hull break of the same two balls training regime needed a shake up !!! and the players are enjoying it.
Finally i loved seeing Puel giving his opinion to Appleton. One its great for him to learn from Claude. But he did seem to have the "i ain't got a clue what he is saying look" Claude i will only tell you this once.
Allez le Bleu
Nev's Monday Moan!

Did Gray play? I hadn’t noticed. Good to see him developing though.
I agree with Thorney - it’s frustrating because it’s the first time we’ve dropped points where we should have taken them. That’s a more positive thing than negative.
Whilst we mention Thorney - it was good to see the two worst refs in the world failed to ruin the game. I’m sure they tried and failed due to their incompetence.
It will be interesting to see where Silva fits in. Replace Gray or Mahrez if he leaves? Would be surprising? Can he play the quarter back role? I honestly don’t know!

One ref pulled out ,because he apparently was injured,poor love!! hope he only gets paid for the time he was on pitch.
Was an easy game to ref, and not really any dubious challenges, so even Rat face wasnt able to ruin it.
Moss is a schoolteacher apparently,always reminds me of the PE teacher in Kes. Basically a failed sportsman with personality issues.

4-2-3-1. Mobile full backs that can overlap and have the energy to get back. Massively creative midfield and defence protected by Iborra and Ndidi.
Actually looks quite exciting, unless you happen to be any one of our strikers that’s not Vardy 🙃
Albrighton—Wes—Maguire—Chilwell

Clearly two points lost.
Finishing was poor,match should have been over by halftime.Defending was poor again,bad from set pieces.
Keeper great, Gray better.
Just think, if we could finish better , defend better, and improve our midfield, how good could we be!!!

All in good time Thorney, all in good time. King Puel will get us there.

Not sure about our defending, but it would score higher marks in the Kevin Keegan school of football management!

The bench looks strongest its ever been! Even with Hamer and King on it!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I worry that Hamer and King are on it. That suggests that we're only 1 injury away from having to include a weak link in more than 1 position.

Iberia ?
If we are playing the whole of Spain and Portugal (and Gibralta) in midfield, we should be doing better than drawing with Stoke

Unfortunately Rudkin couldn't buy a Paella before deadline day, let alone Spain and Portugal.
