What happened re. the listing of us as being one of the top ten most affluent clubs in Europe? Was that just paper talk/nonsense? I can't accept covid made such a difference to King Power tgatvit completely changed everything for KP and the club. I thought we were going to be financially sound, as long as King Power owned us. Clearly not from what people are saying.

Nah when they went down Burnley were still a disciplined solid side, who left everything on the pitch for the manager. No comparison I'm afraid.

Of those you've mentioned, I suppose Iversen yes. Hit and miss, but okay. Ricardo probably not up to the riggers of the Championship. Souttar, KDH, and Daka can play at that level, but won't form the basis of a team that will compete in the Premier League, so not building blocks to get back up, but rather maintain a Championship level, which we don't want. Kel will move on.

Who at the club do you want in your side? You've had a good look at c.15 today. Any of those? Who else? James Justin then I'm struggling...

What happened to all this where we were listed in the top ten most affluent clubs in Europe; was all that just nonsense? No way covid can change things so much for King Power. Can only assume it was paper talk/bollocks.

Pearson wouldn't come. Why leave a decent set-up at Bristol to come to this shower?

The difference between a team fighting to stay up, a team who wants to be in the Premier League, where it matters to the players, and.....oh yes....us.

Not here. All hope gone.

The ref. might gave to step in and stop it.

Yes would love to see Everton go. Would take the humiliation spotlight off us.

Don't you mean when?

He's right though. We won't pick up another point, so we are relying on teams below us losing.

Thought Dean Smith said Maddison was the designated penalty taker 🤔. Missed opportunity against Everton.

Who are the exceptions? I don't just mean this game. Which player deserves credit over recent games, (say last ten) and who out of this lot do you want to see start in August against Ipswich on day one? Obviously some will move on. From what will be left, I can't really think of one.

Happy for Tielemans never to put the shirt on again. Thanks very much for the FA Cup, but I think we're done now.

No point crossing the ball anyhow; never win anything in the air.

Knowing City, they'll probably tease us all with a 3-2 defeat.

I actually think we'll get something out of this. There's no rational reason why I should think that, but I just do. Let's hope I'm right.

Another half of that and we lose. Got to change something. We're being overrun. Too much fannying about at the back Rodgers style as well. Why not Vardy for the pen!?

Match day! Let the countdown begin. 3,4,1,2 Iversen Souttar Faes Soyoncu Castagne Tielemans Mendy Thomas Maddison Barnes Vardy The more I think about it we need three centre-backs to counter Tarkowski, Keane, and Calvert-Lewin. I'm just concerned my midfield could get overrun. Ideally, I'd want a tough tackling ball winner in there, but one that has pace. Sadly we don't have one. If this side went two up, I'd probably take Tielemans off, and put Soumare or Praet on, probably Praet. Fresh legs of Daka later on. We as fans can't show any nerves tonight. We can't let nerves emanate from the stands. Both fans and players on it from the get go. Just somehow need to kill the hours between now and 8pm. Come on 👊.

I'd play Wallington in goal, and got to find spaces in the side for Kember and Rofe. Bob Lee on the bench to come on. Sounds like my first side was just a little bit after this side 🙂.

Agree. We're more skilful, but we've got to match their strength and physicality. Midfield will be key. We also don't need to concede any silly free-kicks where they can send it in for their centre-backs and Calvert-Lewin. Infact as I'm typing, I'm starting to think Faes, Soyoncu, and Souttar; O'Neil style.

So far Newcastle look like they've not turned up. Just what we don't need.

Yes in that case, he should play.
