Tielemans brain and body seem to be slow motion, what happens happened to him???

Could see that coming . We’re too slow in attacking and Every-time Grealiah gets the all, they look dangerous

Was all over Sky sports in the early hours. He’s headed for Villa, but they said that Barcelona haven’t paid a penny of the £150k fee they agreed when he moved from West Brom. 16 yr old wonder kid is how they described him, but was apparently going into Villa’s youth team, so not an immediate solution for them.

Grealish would be the perfect replacement if/when Maddison leaves.

A home tie against a lower league team please🙏

Wasn’t the consultation a few months back? I’d have expected some sort of update following the review of that and for the club to keep the momentum and excitement building. or maybe they have as specific date in mind at which to launch the hole project. What excites and intrigues next the most is rumour that we are waiting on Eon to vacate the site; though I do wonder if there is a timeline on this or just a process of finding something whenever that is.

This match is about getting back to basics. Hopefully the fringe players will come in fitter and hungry to prove a point. Have said it all season, we have to show that high press for from the off and continue to the end. Only then can we exert our quality on the opposition. Can’t afford to panic or get on their backs if it doesn’t start off the way we want, this is all part of the learning curve for this young squad. I still think we are probably a season ahead of where I expected us to be fighting for a top four. keep the faith, back the boys and back them even louder when the going gets tough!! COYB! #Foxesneverquit

We were lucky against Liverpool to only lose 2-1 and they are now bang in form and full of confidence, so I’ll be chuffed if we sneak a draw against them. Man City- they’re a bit unpredictable though today they were a different class against a useless Arsenal. Hopefully the result agains Norwich will give the team a wake up call and get them back to basics. Press from the off, keep attacking throughout and it will be a great match where we can certainly hurt Man City as we have done before.I don’t think Brendan will let them slack again. In Brendan we trust!

Stalled at the first hurdle. I’m sure they’ll be reflecting on the underperformance against Norwich. Just hope they come back with their top game against Man City next week.

Agree that on pure numbers and logic we wouldn’t be favourites, but I’m thinking ‘favourites’ in small print the fact that we’ve won the title against all the odds recentl and the fact they fluffed their chance after a massive lead twice in recent history, could break them IF and it’s a BIg IF, our players play with the same hunger, belief and one game at a time approach- we have nothing to lose!

I’m quite cautious about anything LCFC because we’ve been so used to c**king it up when. It seems straight forward. However, the fact that we are 8points behind them actually works in our favour in my view. Nobody seriously thinks Liverpool will slip up that much AND at the same time, we can continue this winning streak got the rest of the season. If we get three 4 wins in 4 for the rest of December, I really do believe we will be favourites , despite the current 8 point deficit. I know it’s a big if, but that’s where I see the key to the title. Let’s see where we are come the start of January!

I don’t care what formation Brendan chooses, all I want to see is the players continue to show the same desire and belief throughout the match from the start. If we do that, whatever formation we start with and whether Nacho man plays or Pérez, our class will see us through as the game goes on.

Watford will defend for their lives but as long as we are up for it throughout the 90 mins, they’ll tire and out class will come through again. If we get a coupe of early goals, it could be a rugby score again!

One game at a time, keep pressing for 90mins and our class will see us through. In Brendan we trust!

Brighton have been playing some quality stuff and have gone a little under the radar in the media. Same approach as I’ve said each game, play with the same hunger and pressing from the front and our quality will price too much for them. They have a young attacker Connelly I think, who chases everything like Vardy so going to have to contain him down our right hand side. that means a definite no to starting Gray as Pérez does Better at chasing and closing down. Do the basics and we have nobody to fear, but have to stay hungry and one game at a time.

Apologies if the name had already come up, but watching Aaron Connelly of Brighton reminded me of Vardy. He chases everything down and has a finish on him. Still young, so scope to develop too under Vardy. Thoughts?

Sorry for sounding like a broken record, but still applies. Brendan to keep the lads focused on closing down from the front and giving them no space. They are lightweight when they don’t have space and that should allow us to capitalise with our attacking firepower. same again Brendan

If Brendan can get us consistently pressing hard for 90 mins, then we should beat these guys. No complacency and filled the 1st Team👍 Our best chance in ages to progress to a Cup Semifinals

As most have said, this is Ayer another test of how much we have progressed. I’m still apprehensive and Zaha always seems to find a way of causing us problems. They’re a big strong, in your face team and we’ll have to match them on the basics if we want the quality to shine through. Banking on Brendon to get everyone up for this. Hoping for a win, but expecting a draw or loss. Hope I’m wrong!

So we agree👍

Yup:) the same Newcastle that beat Spurs 1-0 and beat Man U by the same score ( oh, who we lost against by the way) . Unless we get the basics right and take the opposition seriously, sh*t like these results happen. Like I said, basics and energy first, then the class will show. We did that to perfection against Newcastle!

I just hope the players aren't as confident as most are on here. There are no easy games in this league and we have o be up and fight for every point in every game. Yes, I agree that we should set up to attack, but need to do the basics of hunting down from the front and chasing back as a pack and then let our class show. Get it right and yes we could make a statement, not have our game heads on and it is going to be like going to the dentist! I trust Brendon to kick their butts if they start off badly.

Hmmm, well his head did seem to be elsewhere against Liverpool. Pull your head in and show how good you are instead of doing a Mahrez!

I keep reading about the Mané dive but the tackle on Tielemans which VAR reviews for a red card, but doesn’t even give a yellow?! Salah blatantly pushed Soyuncu in the back before Hamza had to step in?! They were falling over at every chance and played the referee big time. having calmed down and watched the whole match back, although we weren’t at our best, we held our own despite that and really caused them to try and hang on in that second half. proud of the lads and I’m sure they’ll come back more determined than ever to get back to winning ways against Burnley. Chilwell looked to have the worst game I’ve seen him play in ages. Gutted but lots of positives to be taken from giving the reigning European champs and most in form team in the league, a tough test.

Just been reading that Newcastle have four of the first team players back from injury for Saturday. We have to come out on the front foot as they can give anyone a good game on their day. I think this will be just as much a benchmark for our progress as last weekend against Spuds. Come on boys, let’s make a rel statement and show we mean business!
