Surprised it was that many!!!

Clearly targeting the league. Starting Hamza and Amartey in a knockout game in Europe is poor from the manager though.

Playing with 10 men with Hamza

Noticed that our Twitter team announcer has been quiet since Gray has left the club...

Surprised how many would take a draw and ‘take back to the KP’. For whatever reason we are a much better team away from home this year. Get the job done tomorrow

So who’s got a groin injury? Jamie, Becky or Bert?

Time for vardy and mendy for nacho and Hamza

We want to win football matches, not just keep Hamza happy! Ruthless game!

Birmingham have a decent sell on fee over a certain amount (what we paid for him), so the club won’t want to trigger that

Too early to take amartey off?!

Shouldn’t take this game lightly but Brentford are going second string again tomorrow. 2 of the better players are suspended (Toney / da silva) and they are concentrating on the league as a priority

Unfortunately for him, nowhere near the first 11 now. Like Liam Moore, he would have not played as many games as he has done if he wasn’t from in or around Leicester. Time to move him on for the sake of all parties.

Just hope it doesn’t end in tears with the team leaks

Should never have taken Hamza off.

#SFE

Maybe it would be easier if the player stopped leaking important team news to this idiot. Just a thought.

If VAR wasn’t around we wouldn’t have gone 1-0 in at the break due to the incompetence of the referee!!!

Wondered if many of you listen to the 'Undr The Cosh podcasts'? Have recently listened to Iain Hume, Ben Marshall and Gerry Taggart. All worth a listen for their thoughts on the club. Lots of 'off the pitch' stories like Ben Marshall (who is a 'lad') used to live with Mr Vardy. Some highlights from the Hume podcast: Had a real love for the club. Signed when Craig Levein was in charge, who was his hero being a Hearts fan. After a bad game, Levein who was not a fan of colored boots, throw all of his in the skip. Wanted to set an example to the rest with his new signing. Both Gary Megson and Nigel Worthington worked them hard. Worthington was more tactically astute. Megson introduced prozone to the club, costing 80k to 100k on the package Taggart as caretaker was an 'enjoyable' experience. Tagg's had just started coaching and used to come in on a Monday still steam boated from the weekend. He had the respect from everyone at the club but if they were not doing the job, he would have you against a wall Martin Allen: lots of questionable signings through 1 agent (Willie McKay) with Mandaric. Hossein Kaebi, a Dutch prodigy (Sergio Hellings) who played 5 games in 6 years and a keeper from Denmark who had massive gambling debts (the signing on fee was paying them off). All of these players were on 6's and 7's a week, played just a handful of games and the players could tell instantly that these signings 'were just not there'. Hume and Fryatt were playing and scoring goals every week on 2's & 3's a week but they sign DJ Campbell who although was a good goal scorer at Birmingham was on 15's to 18's a week and not playing every week. Signed players like Bruno N'Gotty, who they just didn't need. Overall Allen was loopy and the players knew he had that trigger. Training was ok but Allen had to reign it in a bit at Leicester. He did reference the 'day in the life of a normal person' and he was told to spend the day in the ticket office. Ollie: A great guy, best banter from a manger. Dealt a bad hand and was also a step too far moving up to Leicester (Plymouth who were flying to Leicester struggling). Given 5 million in the transfer market but had to clear the decks first. Spent around 3 million paying off the players mentioned above first before able to buy. Ollie sat everyone down to see if all were in with him on the final day of the transfer window in the season they got relegated. Hume said he 100% was in, loved the club. Later that day Andrew Neville rings up to to advise Preston had put a bid in. Mandaric agreed fee of 400k. Hume rang up Ollie to see why he was selling him after saying 100% committed and behind him. Ollie knew nothing about the transfer. Ollie called him back to say Mandaric had gone over the top of him and told him to go if right for him. Hume told Ollie he had his word and he would stay, just wanted to keep the club up. That was his only focus. Devastated that we had been relegated to League 1. Gets called into the club to advise that his wages were being cut in half. The club had a different contract to the copy that he had. The club got him to sign a 'second copy' after signing the original (that did not have the clause) without updating them of the pay cut clause. He had bought a new house and just couldn't afford to stay on the decreased wages. Lots of the players who had the 50% decrease in their contracts were told that it would not apply to them, but not for Hume so he thought the club were trying to force a move. Club said they didn't offer players option not to take pay cut, but players showed him the offers. After relegation he came out in the press to say he didn't want to leave as he loved every minute of the club (apart from the Stoke game). Barnsley put an offer in and he didn't want to leave. Wanted to stay and get the club back up into the championship. Tried to price out the move but surprisingly Barnsley agreed to pay him what he asked for (which was a much higher contract at Leicester). Ended up leaving for 1.2 million which was a big increase on the 400k that they would have received in January from Preston. Biggest mistake of his career was leaving the club. He watched the following season thinking what could have been for him when the club stormed League 1 with Fryatt, Howard and King all scoring plenty of goals. He felt that could have been him. Went on to talk about the Morgan incident where he fractured his scull. A great listen...great to hear his love for the club and the rapport he had with supporters.

Well this aged well!!!

Thought Hamza may have started over Wilf but he is having a great game! Welcome back.

When Hamza played a great ball out of play and the camera panned to the bench and the assistant manager looked at Rodgers like ‘that’s Hamza’

Ndidi > Mendy > Hamza. Simple. If you can’t see this, give your head a wobble!!!

Hamza so poor

Hopefully not concussion and taken off as a precaution tonight, ready to go for Sunday
