Shakespeare masterclass. 

Yets play to big guys who struggle to hold the ball up together up front so the midfield look really bad aswell. 

Then bring on Okazaki and I will look great in the second half and everyone will think it was a great Change

[lestajigs]

Surely gray has to start Saturday 

[fazzyfox]

I actually believe it was the invisible spirits of the Thai monks who blessed our ground who twatted Ulloa into a concussive state that turned it around for us. Either that or the scousers took their foot off the pedal.

[smr]

ffs my sky box is saying live pause unavailable when trying to rewind, can anyone please upload the shinji interview it deserves repeat plays.

[Guest]

Told you we'd stuff them.

 

Hopefully Ulloa never to be seen on the pitch again. 

 

We suddenly press all over and look class.

 

Shinji motm.

 

Gray not far off.

 

Iborra some genius some disaster. Chilwell the same.

 

Wes and Dragovic played well.

 

Amartey and Albrighton not so well.

 

Ndidi is class when he's pressing, when he sits back we are shit.

 

Slim nice goal.

[Sir Shep]

I suppose the question I have to ask, can we play Vardy, Oki and Nacho in the same team? Gray and Slim may also deserve to play as well. 442 needs to go! 

[StriderHiryu]

Iborra by the way was shocking. Only Ulloa was worse. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say he needs to adjust to the pace of the league. But that was as shocking as debuts go. 

 

Dragovic deserves praise though, very solid throughout. Maguire + Drago might work out after all. 

 

Based on the performance we will get smashed at the weekend though. 

[Monsell1976]

 if I was a Liverpool fan I'd be fuming, we was so poor, and they were so wasteful.

 Really how the **** did we win that, well done slim, Okazaki.

 Positive's are we are in the next round, a bit of match fitness for the players on the fringes.

Negatives, we was set up awful, big questions asked about the manager, he got away with one there

[sishades]

First half was like watching a cemetary full of zombies in blue shirts. Within a microsecond of the Japanese Ninja Warrior coming on the game changes. It was almost like pressing the big green "GO" button. Any win against the scousers is a good one for me...my mate now owes me a big bag of McCoys crisps. Yummy.

I hope that is the last time I ever see Ulloa and Slimani starting together up front.

 

Can we agree (including Craig Shakespeare) to draw a line under it right there and we'll never mention it again.

Luring into false sense of security my son.

 

Masterclass. 

[smr]

Shakespeare's interview translated "Ulloa did us a massive favour by almost getting knocked out which turned our game around"

[iamafox]

Shinji came on and literally saved us from defeat

[dedlock]

Coutinho ran the show in the first half. We will need a strategy to contain him if we hope to win again on Saturday ( unless he was subbed because of injury).

I don't think Slimani struggles to hold the ball, quite the contrary. The ball didn't even reach him before Okazaki came on, that is why Leicester was playing so poorly.

strategy will be to play our first team.

[brookfox]

Shakey pretending his half time team talk made the difference!

Only if we go 4-4-2. I agree with the rest.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

We're in the next round that's all that matters

 

better second half obviously 

 

Ulloa should never ever ever be picked ever again

[KFS]

Anyone got the goals?

[The Doctor]

Abysmal first half, less problems without Coutinho but still didn't look threatening second until Leo came off. Take the lesson and bin him Shakespeare (do have concerns actually that the Shinji sub wouldn't have been done until we were behind if it wasn't forced).

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

I'm just still chuckling!
