Whether it has anything to do with his dad or not, we'll never know.
Personally I just think he's a bit out of form. Not all players, especially ones like AK can be amazing every single game. He's the type of player who has 5 or 6 storming games followed by 2 or 3 off games like last night. We just have to get used to that.
One thing I really like about CH is that he allows players to play their way back into form. He's done it to Sidwell and Bong (and to a certain extent Baldock) this season and I think it's a much better route than just sticking players on the bench and constantly chopping and changing.
I'm a bit torn on Baldock personally. He's a bit too far the other side of the acceptable line for me and although has 3 or 4 brilliant games, he then seems to follow them with 5 or 6 average games. That's not good enough for me and on that scale I'd encourage a bit of player rotation, but the problem is as we know we are lacking somebody to step in for Baldock.

Murray and Baldock played a great 1-2 for Murray to get the space to score his goal. They have a great understanding together.

Has been off form in the last couple of games and struggled but lets hope that he can tear Joe Bennett a new one next week and get back to form. This is assuming Bennett plays.

At least Knocky avoided a yellow card yesterday which would have earned him a suspension and I think I'm right in saying that under the totting up procedure they are now set back to zero.

As i understand it they still count but no suspension until the player reaches 10. Lewis Dunk apparently is on 7 so can expect a ban about Christmas.

So LD has to go until March without getting 3 more. I should think that is as likely as me winning £1m.

I can't remember, what was Dunk booked for yesterday?

His usual lunge after he miscontrolled the ball IIRC.

Understandable he is not up to his usual standard and to be fair he has set the bar very very high.
I think knocky is a hot and cold player. He's looked a little out of sorts for a while. The goal v Norwich put a gloss on an anonymous showing. There are opponents that will suit him and those that won't. But he will always be a threat that teams need to plan to counter (Fulham had two or three on him) so he'll make space for others, and then there's the occasional, unstoppable bit of football magic.
Absolute rot.
v Norwich he was clearly one of the best wingers on display, in the Championship, that weekend.
What he didn't do was produce a stellar Knockaert performance.
There's a huge difference and one that shouldn't be dismissed as an anonymous showing.

I think he's been careful not to puck up his fifth yellow and s suspension
That's lifted now.

Must be great to know everything, be right all the time and be so aware of your own specialness that you're comfortable sharing it so widely with such definitiveness. The rest of us can only marvel and thank the gods that we have been gifted you.
