Unfortunately if it floats towards his foot, it isn’t so good ... 

Let’s just say he has an unorthodox style of play with the ball at his feet... got to love him though.

City 2-0 up away in Europe dressed in white 

 

Nothing spectacular but very steady and positive. 

 

Love it.

Pitch is in poor nick. Ball is bobbling all over the place.  

[katieakita]

Bloody hell what is up with the pitch did they release the ground staff due to covid shocking and hope we don't pick anymore injuries

[Ian Nacho]

I’m no further away from the pitch being at home than if I was there.

I'm not sure about Choudhary, he makes me nervous!

To be fair I felt the same. Chuffed to see him bag!

[Ian Nacho]

That ref was bobbins by the way. 

[RowlattsFox]

Watching without the crowd noise just empathises how much the game lacks fans, and how difficult it can be to play with intensity. 

 

Only part concentrated in the game, the missus can home half way through the half and disrupted things but not sure we've played that we'll from what I've seen. Capable of beating their defence though whenever we do get further up field.

 

Get the job done and do it without anymore injuries. 

[FoxesWalk]

Heard Castagne and Evans were out with injury, per the commentator, any truth?

This pitch will break someone’s ankle 

Yep! Tackled Vards on the play that led to the penalty. 

[RonnieTodger]

How good is the Europa League?

 

european glory against shit teams 

[Nalis]

Braga also leading 2-0, looks like our double header with them could determine the group winner.

He still makes me nervous but pleased for him!

There’s something comforting about seeing a floated ball towards Big Wes, because you know he’s going to win it 💙💙💙

 

 

think his zimmerframe gave him an extra lift...

I said the same sad that it’s empty but I wouldn’t fancy sitting at the back the top tier looks vertical

We have a stadium like that here. If you trip on the stairs, you are screwed

Do you reckon that's what it is? Seriously he's not right tonight but can't believe he'd be pissed/high on the job. Sackable offence surely.

Savage has struggled with depression so I wouldn't be surprised if it's linked to this in some way, possibly he's on medication of some sort? 

 

Personally I haven't noticed anything but it could be anything, even just being in a dead stadium and not being used to the lack of intimidating atmosphere?

 

Unfair to label him as a recreational drug taker though..

Timmy has a slight hamstring issue, Evans has a bad back after that awkward landing on Sunday according to Brendan's pre match interview.

[TrentFox]

Under’s first touch is very hit and miss. Like his directness, though. 

[UniFox21]

In Simmo, we actually get proper Leicester insight. 

[PAULCFC]

Good first half,spoiled only by IKE.It's allways been A.E.K.!

Could be meds. He's definitely struggling to get his words out.

After another 15 minutes or after another goal we should take 2 or 3 players off and give them a rest. I would like to see Perez get some game time, even if it is only 30 minutes or so.
