I hope the match thread can manage some empathy. 

The match thread will be as it always is:

- if we start well and score, we are the best team ever, Rodgers is a genius and his tactical set-up is brilliant

- if we start badly and concede, we are ‘relegation fodder’, Rodgers needs to go and he’s a ‘one-trick pony’

👍

He is a one trick pony though to be fair, win or lose.

Should be 4141. Won't be.

If Vardy isn’t fit, then I’ll probably do some gardening instead.....

I wonder if we'll see Little Wes start today and how well he'll communicate with Evans. If Castagne, Mendy and Youri play that's at least 3 French speakers surrounding him

 I could imagine to play with a flexible 3 at the back with castagne being one of them and  moving into the three and out. but I would see castagne more defensive in this game. And I think there should be more distance between castagne and  under or gray (as a sub), with Hamza closing that space in between if necessary. I would leave some space for under/gray because these players can benefit from having some more space around them with them liking to run on to defenders. I also think we need to keep their left back busy with defensive duties. I'd would treat the left side differently with  Perez (or Tielemans) playing slidely left sides and closer  to  Barnes (or Madders) ... on the right I would have fofana help out justin and enable justin to connect with barnes. Perez or tielmans I see distributing passes to the players around them and especially to the offensive players. Nacho in the front as Vardy is out, and as someone who can play with his back to their goal and someone who is good in the box. I am a little concerned about Grealish, he seems really good from what I have seen and he will be an issue for our right side. That is also a reason why I chose this "unbalanced" setup.

Evans played in Belgium too so might know a bit. Albeit that was in Antwerp which is Flemish speaking.

Different languages? Not an issue in Jock Wallace's day.

Two all is more likely.  There have been a lot of goals at the start of the season though.

He speaks English anyway apparently. How well I don’t know but he can speak some I have heard.

Quite enjoyed the football yesterday ...... simply can’t enjoy today knowing that we’re probably going to spoil my Sunday evening !

So I'm sure this has been asked but is anyone paying the £14.95? Or do we think there will be streams available? As I'd prefer not to pay it tbh.

Yeah ive just seen the thread! Personally ill ve looking for a stream! 

[leicesterseddon]

I’m interested to see how Fofana does if he plays. The club clearly rate him, although personally I think he’s still a big gamble for the money we’ve paid.
