Someone’s been watching his Ancelotti season!

He does his best work in the 6 yard box for sure.

Did he not have some mad stat at one point, maybe still does, that he'd never scored from outside the box?

He's been much more effective since Leeds went to 3-5-2.

When he was the lone striker, it was exactly the same as when he played for us. Doing loads of donkey work, hardly getting any chances and then so much pressure on the 1 chance he gets that he tightened up and missed it.

Delighted for him, always gave his best for us despite being treated like Boxer by a number of neanderthal managers and as a scapegoat by numerous fans. Still bemused at the clothing and handbag hatred. Weird people out there.

Always gave his best? Hmm not sure I agree with that. He perfected the art of making it look like he was closing defenders down when he had no intentions of doing it at all.

Nah, was flogged physically and mentally by a succession of donkeys. He had off days, like every player does, but he still stood out from most of the dross around him.

Yeah, lack of effort is the last thing I’d accuse him of.

It might’ve looked like a lack of effort post-injury, I think it was just a loss of athleticism. I don’t think it was a choice to no longer challenge for headers and 50-50 balls like he used to, he physically couldn’t.

Was always better than what we replaced him with, even when the goals weren't coming.

Fair play to him doing the business, I will always remember his Palace goal till the day I die.

I really hope he gets a good reception if/when he plays against us
