[Angus Scott]

Would definitely have chosen Praet rather than Barnes

[foxfanazer]

Day to forget for Evans

We can’t cope with their intensity and they know it 

Is that you Claude?

[ARTY_FOX]

We've not been good so far really. Nowhere near as compact as we have been and not doing anything going forward at all. Passings been woeful.

[Nod.E]

Mendy hasn't been up to his very high standards set this season so far

[RonnieTodger]

Look like we’re going to concede every set piece

[Stuntman_Mike]

We look shocking from set pieces. 

 

I understand the challenge but this needs to improve.

watching manè baring down on Evans is going to haunt me for the rest of my life..

[car1os]

Thought I’d posted about how Liverpool’s team looked strong and I thought there was too much hype about how they were “for the taking”.

 

They look good. We’ve been great in recent weeks but can’t see us winning this. Barnes can’t hit a Barne door sadly, and Vardy is being marked very closely. Fofana is employing the Mahrez technique I see... and Evans... total loss of concentration. 
 

Im not sure if we can but I hope we can pull a result out of the bag here!! Come on Leicester!! 

[Grebfromgrebland]

Hope our season doesn't fall apart like after we played them last season

[KFS]

People still going to give me stick when I say Evans is now our weak link?

 

Incredibly competitive team right now and we can’t afford this from him.

[Babylon]

Why is Barnes marking their main Aerial threat? 

[SheppyFox]

Can’t wait to see Cags partner fofana, evans is struggling  

[Sampson]

Praet definitely should have started. Many of us already said it on the other thread but Praet does the dirty work and gives us so much more balance.

 

He should always be on the team sheet ahead of Barnes and Maddison right now. Rotate between Maddison and Barnes, not Praet.

RIP NBCSN (stream).

[matty98]

Not sure why people want Barnes off? Only player that's made anything happen for us so far.

[IsItMuzzy]

You can't have Barnes on Matip from a freekick or corner that's crazy 

[Carl the Llama]

Literally same challenge happened to Vardy about 20 seconds earlier, ref keeps quiet but Liverpool get a free kick they could very easily score from. Funny that.

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Great play by JJ

He's been iffy since his return from injury. 

[Pliskin]

They’re still a quality side, no matter the injury issues. I expect them to win this comfortably, we look uneasy at times, almost fearful... but like Leicester of last season. Which is such a shame, because their back four is very weak tonight, one we can easily exploit. But they’ve got us upfront, cutting us up at times.

Totally agree

Good effort from JJ

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Hopefully second half we play better
