Why wouldn’t we rotate against Cov? I don’t think the opposition matters at this point in that regard. Let those that want to prove themselves on the pitch have a go at bashing them.

Give us Cov in the quarters.

Now let’s hope we don’t sit in front of our own goal and let them fire 172 shots at us in the last 15 minutes.

Fatawu rocket ship!!!!!!🚀

My dog just produced a near life-sized replica of him outside…thinking of shipping it off to PGMOL so it can report for duty.

Not sure why Fatawu used his arm to drag the Bournemouth player down…had he continued his run right through him, it would not have been a foul at all based on this ref’s previous calls all night.

This is a perfect summation imo. In addition to being Bournemouth’s most fearsome attacker, he’s also made some incredible blocks. Vesty giveth, and taketh away.

Vestergaard trying awfully hard for an own goal tonight.

Justin on for Doyle loading…

Kelechi coming on, hopefully not to do his best Praet impression once again.

Cannon playing this match perpetually offside. Be nice if he’d sort that out and make himself available for a pass.

Ricky P is definitely coming on to start the 2nd half.

Wonder if Raikhy comes off at the half? He's looked good with the ball, seems to make good decisions, but a couple woeful challenges, like he’s either trying to do too much, or the speed of the game is a bit much for him at the moment. I’d like to see more of him though.

Your mentioning of Vestergaard made me think that perhaps another factor could be people’s unwillingness to admit they were wrong, or that players can come good. I wanted to send Vesty to Siberia last year, and while he’s still slow and a real life Easter Island statue playing top flight football, he’s certainly played much better this year.

I’m really not. I just can’t figure out any statistical or logical reason for the irrational amount of sh*t he gets from our supporters compared to others on the squad who ACTUALLY continue to stink up the pitch. We were spoiled by prime Vardy. We likely won’t see a player like him at his peak in an Leicester shirt again in our lifetimes. Daka will never be Vardy. But he’s not trash. He’s the best striker currently in our first team. Show me stats that say otherwise. He certainly doesn’t deserve the slagging he gets on here week in and week out, while he scores goals, assists, and does all the little things that make players around him better. Does he miss sometimes? Sure. If he didn’t, he’d be playing in the Prem for a top 6 club! I would encourage the Daka haters to come off FT and check out other footballing social media. There are plenty of supporters of other clubs that would love to have him. Basically, he’s not peak Vardy or Harry Kane, but he’s more than serviceable in the Championship and he’s helped win us a few games. He’s nowhere near as bad as some would like him to be, no matter how many times you say it.

What about the Mavididi sitter missed? What about the Daka goal that was wrongly disallowed? What if Vesty didn’t gift them a goal? you can’t seriously pin this entire match on Daka.

The amount of flack given for a striker on 7 goals and 4 assists on a club full of bottlers…I have to ask, if he were white would he be getting this much hate?

Genuinely don’t get the Daka hate. Did he miss an easy one? Yeah. He wasn’t alone in doing so tonight. Did he score a goal that should have been allowed? Yes. Did he assist the only goal we had tonight? Yep. Has he shown more this year than Senior Man, who seems to be anywhere but on the pitch when he’s called upon? Yes. Vardy’s injured. And no slight to him, he’s not someone we can realistically call on to give us 90 minutes of top flight performance anymore. Cannon could be the answer long term, but he seems to need time to get up to speed. Meanwhile, Daka’s on 7 goals and 4 assists and plays our style quite well. He runs his arse off, pressing and defending. What else do you want?

Well, unfortunately, each half is 45 minutes, so a craptastic 10 minutes can absolutely wipe away a good 35 minute performance. Unless they shorten the matches, which LCFC absolutely should push for given our ability to wilt at the end of seemingly every big match. I’m not trying to take this out on you Lillehamring, this match, and the two against Ipswich, and the Cov match, and the last one against Boro, just have me in a sour mood.

Look at the class of our players vs the rest of the league though. Look at the squad payroll compared to the rest of the league. Being 6 points up isn’t the accomplishment you’re making it out to be. We need to get our mental fragilities sorted out, or we’ll be talking about how we like our chances in the playoffs, against clubs that should be miles below us.

Agreed. He was class up until that pathetic attempt. But the way this one went, he could have put it in the back of the net and it still wouldn’t have counted.

“Why would you say this now. 🤦🏻‍♂️ incoming 4 goals for Leeds in second half.” I was off by a goal. But, same effect.

I hate to say it, but this club has the fortitude of soggy paper.

Goodnight friends.

Gahhhh, it appears Stephy Mavadidi has been secretly replaced by Stephy Mavadogshit
