And there was an element of, you know, being over-theatrical about it for Traore.

But, yeah, I think that's the first time ever when I've heard somebody say, yes, it should have been a pen.

Let's talk more about their problems up front, Burrow.

You mentioned Gestead.

Four goals in 18 appearances for Aston Villa in the Championship this season.

Just the one assist is not really the answer, or is he?

All you'd say was that Middlesbrough, on today's evidence, they do get a lot of crosses into the box, don't they?

You know, George Friend and Traore, whoever.

So if they can keep delivering, at least you said you might think... It might suit them, yeah.

I mean, Hedin is obviously his biggest asset, so...

It's got to get better than we saw today.

On the minus side for Leicester, Mahrez and Slomani go off for the Africa Cup of Nations.

On the plus side, Jamie Vardy is available for their next game.

Do you have concerns as they head further into 2017, based on what we've seen today?

Well, yes, you've got to.

I mean, there's a big onus now on Jamie Vardy to step up and deliver some goals because Slimani was looking their biggest threat.

So it's a blow to lose him.

Listen, I don't think they'll get dragged down into the real mire there.

But, yeah, I mean, they'll hope that the second half of this season is going to be a lot better than the first, and I think it probably will be.
