Perez has been pretty good in general recently 

 

Smashed Watford 4-2 in November with them starting didn’t we? Admittedly Watford are shite, but we won 😂

That was the game in the snow right - well done you found a slight positive 👍

With an attacking line up and all this optimism flying around we really could do with more negativity to balance things and make us feel our usual selves!

Iv got plenty of of for you to balance it up - lookman right wing and him and Barnes in same team - that’s a leap of faith if Iv ever seen one

fair enough however fans have been crying out for an attacking team, I don't think we can afford to sit back and pass it around.. will be interesting no doubt... I don't think we have played one good game this season tbh bar a few here and there ... lets hope it clicks today.

Yea we are on the same page - it’s attacking I give you that - just don’t get it - I’d rather have Albrighton or castagne right mid all day long than 2 out abs out wingers where it’s been proved multiple times they can’t play together - let’s just take forest and randers away and say no more shall we - I bloody hope I’m so wrong but that selection is mental

Do we think this is the biggest game in our history ? 

Nope 😂😂😂

Roma 0 : 4 Leicester (Barnes 12, 23; Lookman 56, 72)

 

What a night that was.  

My man - love it - everything crossed

I'm very nervous. Must have a beer. I honestly didn't think I'd feel like this when we first entered this competition, but this game is massive. And I love these European nights.

Great way to put it - biggest game since fa cup final obviously and all the emotions are going strong

Best and strongest  side we have played all season and also the nervous ive felt since the fa cup final 

Please remind me of 1 good game where we have had Barnes and lookman start - just 1 - please

he works hard though and will track back and offers a threat going forward?

 

Albrighton didn't have the best game last week

 

I have no issues with lookman on the left I actually rate him ish - however right wing in the same team where Barnes is left wing is an absolute abomination - we’ve seen it 4 times this season and it’s been horrible every time against a lot worse teams than tonight- I don’t get it at all 

I 💯 cannot believe he is playing lookman right mid - has not worked in 1 game all year - not 1 - baffling - and yes I really hope by 10pm your all messaging me telling me how wrong I am

When was the last time we saw our first choice 11 all on the pitch together 

That definitely is not our first choice 11 - was the last time Barnes and lookman played together away at forest ?? Happy to be corrected - maybe it was randers away 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

2 out and out wingers against this lot - and lookman right wing where he is absolutely horrendous- I’m not going to say it but you get where it’s going

You think the manager that has finished top 6 twice, won an FA Cup, won the Community Shield, guided us to a European semi final and guided us to a league cup semi final is just an "upmarket Puel"?

 

Seriously.

 

I might understand people wanting him gone but comparisons to Puel are stupid. But as always people forget. People forget how bad we were then.

Exactly this - he isn’t perfect by any means and he does make some strange decisions sometimes but come on - asking for his head is absolutely mental - we have been miles better the past month and last Thursday was right up there in my opinion in how it made me feel like the cup final and 2016 - that was only a week a go- winning the fa cup was less than a year ago - we are very very close to being very good again and my opinion is that we are only a bit short because of missing ndidi and vards so much - that’s not an excuse it’s reality - back to the point - is rodgers perfect - no - not by a long shot - is he in the elite set of gaffers ala klopp and guardiiola- no - but is he a bloody good manager that’s doing a very decent job - hell yes - we are doing just fine - 5 more points Sunday and last night would have been lovely and probably should have been achieved but hey ho - that’s football - this is the best ever time our club has ever had - we have had horrible luck this year and we are still comfortably mid table and have a European semi final next week - a bloody European semi final - that’s absolutely mental - enjoy the team and the manager we have right now as it won’t last forever- let’s bring the noise again on Saturday and do our part - room for improvement all round - no doubt - time to panic - absolutely not in a million years 

why wasnt there a presser today?

sorry if iv missed it but is this on TV- I swear it was originally on sky as the original was but seems to have disappeared from the sky page for live games- weird

No one knows if daka had missed some training ….. Rodgers obviously saw a reason to play lookman as a false 9 for ten minutes …. No one else did ! 

We’ve seen some bizarre rodgers substitutions in the past but this one definitely gets the award for most bizarre- then he compounds it by putting lookman out on right which he simply cannot play at all in anyway - apart from that we did pretty well - beautiful to see fofana and evans back - pair of rolls royces those 2

Compare the way he left us to mahrez- absolute model pro who started pre season and played up until last minute - compare that to that striking moron mahrez - chalk and cheese - I seriously don’t get it but each to their own mate - you pay your money

He was good for us for a season. I wouldn't call him a "great player" either, he's an okay player and his career shows that.

 

I give him stick because of how he acted when he left us. Plus the stick he got earlier in the season forced him into mistakes, he looked nervous all game.

I'll be giving him stick again on Saturday.

Still really don’t get the Maguire critique- especially from our fans-  I’d have him back in a heartbeat- great player - couldn’t give a monkeys how he has played for United in spells - been class for England and was very very good for us -and we got mega money- and let’s be honest he couldn’t say no to that transfer -  bizarre from our fans the stick he gets - my 2 cents anyway 

58 pages on the lad - wow - I’m not going to slaughter him(to much)  -it generally takes a season for average players to get a bit better in the prem - he has shown nothing so far though to give any indication that he has been or will be a good signing- however I’m reserving judgement till Xmas and giving him a chance early next year- for this season though he should be nowhere near the 11 and I can’t see him getting in even with ndidi and mendy Unavailable - i hope he will approve however he has shown absolutely nothing at all so far - he looks slow , big ars*d and completely out of his depth

Updates from Rodgers:

 

Lookman was ill

Albrighton hopefully back after the international break

Ndidi has a bad knee injury and waiting a second opinion

Did he really say ndidi injury is bad ? 

Evans , fofana and castagne back in squad ? If so that’s even better

Had a great game on Thursday. Seemed to have two players in him every time he received the ball but still managed to do something with it.

No arguments from me - my point is he definitely should not be tired 

3 minutes ago, Spudulike said:

Daka unlikely to be fit according to Rodgers and it's unclear if Senior man has come through Thursday night unscathed. 

Fair enough as hadn’t heard the daka bit - as for nacho - did he actually move on Thursday night - he can’t run - he won’t be tired surely - has to play - more games he plays better he gets as was shown in that run last season 

Only question today will be the defence - mendy , kdh and youri will be 3 in middle - Barnes and Maddison either side and 1 of daka or kel- can fofana do 2 games in 4 days and could we see ricardo and justin as full backs

Perez to start today and bag a brace. 
2 - 0 win and all is looking good going into the international break.

I’m saying no chance he ever starts a game for leicester ever again - it’s taken a long time but rodgers has eventually realised what all of us knew ages ago - he is absolute muck- such a waste as he has a bit of quality but no idea what to do with it - if he starts today I’ll obviously have to eat my hat but that would easily be the most baffling decision rodgers has ever made and he has made plenty
