    Lichaj has said his girlfriend is pregnant with another girl. Not sure if Lichaj ever proposed but you gotta think with two children he really should.

    Not that it is any of our business, we have no intimate knowledge of their family dynamic, but it seems like a proposal should be in the cards. On the other hand Lebron James is finally getting married this summer and he has two kids with his fiancé so this isn't too uncommon.

    I agree, but it is funny reading his girlfriend's Fiance's tweets. She constantly talks about wanting Eric to propose and she even hacked his Twitter and posted "I think it it's time I ask Kathryn to marry me".

    That is so funny that it's slightly creepy too. Probably hormones

    JK. He doesn't rate him apparently. He's had periods where he played well for AV, though had even more periods where he's played badly. His competition is Cherundolo (who may or may not be going to Brazil), Chandler (who knows about where his head is at), Parkhurst (not first choice at his club), Brad Evans (JK seems to like him there). A great performance this season might have him going to Brazil as deputy to either Cherundolo or Chandler.

    Lichaj is a good right back. I really wish he got more of a chance at Villa but McLeish stupidly thought Hutton and Warnock were better than Lichaj. Then when Lambert took over, Lowton was purchased and Lowton proved that he is an excellent right back. Everyone knew that Lichaj was better than Bennett, but Lambert had faith in Bennett. Well now is Lichaj's chance to prove himself at a good championship club. I really think Lichaj will do well this season. He is very strong defensively and is pretty good going forward on the right side. Remember, this is the player that completely shut down Gareth Bale.

    Forest played Motherwell to a 1-1 draw. Lichaj played the first 66 before being replaced by Dan Harding. The goal came after Lichaj was subbed.

    So Harding was a culprit in Motherwell's goal which is a good thing for Lichaj as Harding is his main competition at right back.

    Harding is a left back. The competition for right back will come from Jara, and if Davies sees Halford as a full back or centre back

    Lichaj right back then, with Cohen on the left.

    One point to consider is that Jara, Lichaj's main competition for right back, is injured atm

    Forest won 1-0. Lichaj went the distance. From the Forest match report:

    All this guy needs is a consistent run. I'm confident he's a good player.

    Yeah a lot of folks listing him as their man of the match. I know it's just one game with Forest but based on his previous stint at Leeds it's pretty clear Lichaj is a top player at the Championship level.

    I still think with the right club (playing his NATURAL position) he is EPL quality because you don't put in shifts like he did marking Bale and Valencia without real talent.

      Side looks good! @EricLichaj was a superb signing, hope we get Hobbs permanently. Usual suspects @HenriLansbury22 + Cohen quality! #NFFC

    It's great that he had a solid debut and even better that he's won over the fans.
