Paninistickers

There's a reason for Ayew and he can be useful but it's an absolute crime the Fatawu didn't come on for that exact scenario if a breakaway. Plus, with fatawaus jumping power, he'd be better off marking saliba - certainly better than bdcr who has the strength and build of an average nine year old boy

Exactly. We have a manager who actually rates a keeper who wouldn't make half of league twos' teams

Good second half today. Well played.

Outstanding again

Agree, what was he supposed to offer in that last 5?? We needed some serious threat and muscle

Beyond thick. We needed to up it from about 70 mins. Vards had to go off. That was the first and mind numbingly obvious first change. I'd have gone Fatawu to give them fckers something to think about. Then, yes, Ayew on 85 to try and kill the game.

Thought he was outstanding

No height. No strength. No pace. And asked to mark saliba at a corner. Not his fault he was brought on, but why was he brought on? What was he supposed to offer? Cooper explain.

Attacking?! BdcR?

Amongst the worst tactical subs I've witnessed at this level. He can't read a game. BdcR. FFS.

Thou shalt not play Stephy and Abdul together. Cooper psalms 3:16 verse

Norwich look a level above Derby, who look like what they are, league one huff and puff Even more satisfying is that two of Norwich's goals shouldn't have counted 👍

Totally this. Should be Fatawu both for his capability on a break and his defensive work. And the fact he can proper jump high. We will have needed defending corners. If we are gonna play Buonnotte, I'd have dropped Vards, who cannot in anyway play the role required. But I suspect cooper is worried about upsetting Vards.

I'm not so sure he'll go anyways. Part of the job today is, if we are gonna lose, we lose well. Goal difference is worth an extra point come the end of the season.

Ya know, I wouldn't play a striker today. And just look to break with wingers and under lapping full backs. Try to overload them wide If Vesty was fit, I'd go three at the back and drop Faes to bench Mads JJ, Vesty, Okoli Ricky Skipp winks Vk Abdul Wilf Stephy

The best scenario is that Cooper stumbles across (forced into) his best side and best players and we get something out the game Worst case is we get something out the game but with Soumare, BdcR, Ayew and Eduard all on the pitch 😭

Our crowd is 90% bonehead, yet even they knew Stephy is just about our best player. I find it almost unbelievable (in the truest sense of the word) that Cooper felt initially that BdcR was the better player. It's borderline lunacy that the manager can't work that out. The add on to that odd decisions to drop/rotate Fatawu, Skipp and sidelining Vesty, Ricky, McAteer

Appalling couple. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/curve-head-finance-jailed-stealing-9587298

Exactly. The days of the PL and sky deciding what someone can watch are long over. Punters now expect to watch whatever game they watch, not be force fed Chelsea v Fulham if sky seems that good for us.

He's a (very good) modern CEO rather than manager/coach. Probably could say the same about Southgate.

Been thinking about visiting there...glad to hear it's decent

But that was orchestrated by Rodgers' team. They brokered the deal, they approached us.

Great to see the telegraph reporting that the ECBs sales doc for the hundred is in cloud cuckoo land.

The doctor's testimony today was grim and eye opening. But I'll be interested to see if the inquiry admits/recognises (or even praises) that hospitals soon got things under control, essentially by triaging (aka refusing to treat) the extreme elderly that were packing out the hospitals during the crazy period he described.

Exactly this. Dying with COVID and dying having had COVID isnt the same as dying of COVID. But they all counted the same
