Love that shot of Vardy necking a red bull moments before leading the team out

Our position is so inconsistent, it makes no sense. For me, this is the most revealing point - I’d live to hear the club’s reasoning on why they were posturing to sue Everton (even if we later withdrew) when they knew we were staring down the barrel of this? Over the past year or two, we’ve taken the following positions at varying times. Some of them are clearly inconsistent with the others: - We can spend anything on players, to ensure we don’t breach the rules! - (6 months later) We’re going to spunk a load of money on players, rules be damned! - This other team has breached the rules, we deserve compensation! - We may be on course to breach the rules, but you haven’t made it clear enough when they can be applied and by whom, so we shouldn’t be penalised! - The rules are shit anyway, we should be allowed to pursue our ambitions! - We got relegated, so even if we did breach the rules, we didn’t get anything out of it! Forget what you think about the rules for a moment - that’s a separate debate and one the club has only conveniently decided to get involved with now it looks set to be punished by them. I’m sorry to say it, but those in charge are even more incompetent than I initially thought.

Putting aside for a moment the fact that the EPL and EFL are over-reaching on their own ill-defined, poorly thought out and incompetently managed set of regulations - do we know why we were posturing to sue Everton when we must have known we were heading towards a breach?

EFL and PL love extending punishments for frivolous appeals, so you’d hope the reverse would be true too! What a farce football is eating itself.

And we’re finally down to second

Hard luck. Justin pants in his cameo sadly.

Faes not tracking

Just need to pump it upfield when we get it so we can clear our lines. Otherwise the rest of the game will be played around our 18 yard box.

Balls.

Chelsea will eat themselves if we manage to keep the pressure on.

Do cup reds affect league?

Thems the rules. Some of you and the commentators need to learn them. I’d rather it be 11 v 11 and a pen mind. They might stick this away.

Outside the area. But it’d be red if so

Beauty from mavs

Patson really poor. Too often on his heels.

Kinel City. Worked our way back in and just needed to get into half time. Real soft and stupid goal to concede

Don’t know why fats has cut the variation out his game - looked very dangerous going down the outside in his early appearances for us, but he seems intent on cutting inside every time currently.

It’s a theme for us this season. Becoming really evident that this set up offers very little defensive protection from midfield once our initial press is broken. Not helped by having a lumbering back line who can’t really make up for it once they are exposed.

KDH looking back to near his best again, thankfully

Mavs and fats need to switch on defensively, getting rinsed by their full backs

Pathetic from Vesty that.

Please can someone give me a brief match report for the first half? Been dragged out to a birthday party against my will

i'll take it, but that was wank. buck up, leicester.
