Looking forward to seeing Ünder link up with Vardy again and hopefully Thomas gets some minutes in a comfy win!

Nice Umlaut Sir. Bravo

They have an Italian manager and play a fairly old school Serie A type approach. Compact blocks, defensively orientated. 

Gonna be tough to break down then. Let's hope Under and Albrighton can give Vards the service he needs. May be a case of relying on some Maddison magic if we're not getting into the box much.

 

If it's frustrating then I guess we have Nacho on the bench to change things up and play closer to feet. Let's just hope Big Wes is up to the occasion.

0-0 wasn't it?

Won 1-0 at home. 

 

If the question meant away games then it may never have happened.

[Cameron Davidson]

Think they are going for the much appreciated 9-0-1 formation.......

For me this ought to be Hamza's last chance at impressing in a defensive midfield role, that is if it's a 4-3-3. I would rather see Rodgers try Praet there in the absence of Mendy and Ndidi than have someone who, every time I've seen him, cannot keep himself in his position for longer than 5 seconds.

 

He has all the tools to that job apart from the brain unfortunately.

Bet it took longer to type that every other character in that sentence though. @Ric Flair doesn’t seem the sort to steal it from the internet. 

[reynard]

Well let's hope we can get through the match without anymore injuries.

[jeffschlupp]

RBTF saying Castagne's injury is less severe and will be two weeks so he will be back for the internationals. Not seen Rodgers' interview yet though

Ünder as wingback? 

[Manini]

Just got to laugh at the injury situation now. What the actual **** 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

More injuries, disgraceful.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Castagne back just in time for international duty, where he'll probably injury himself again

 

Think we're gonna need a signing or two in January!

[Lambert09]

It must be 5 at the back, or why would the admin put Marc first? Happy enough with that, although I would have given nacho a he minutes. Good blend though

RBTF?

Good to see Danny Simpson in the BT studio as a summarizer. 

 

 

 

[goose2010]

Castagne out until after the internationals Evans injured last night in training
