From what I gather they will be training, then allowed home for several hours before coming back to stay over in the on site accommodation, Rodgers wants them all 100% focused for the early kick off on Boxing Day. This was the plan a few weeks ago anyway.

Not sure it is good idea to stay over on Christmas night. The boys may not be able to sleep partly due to the excitement (like staying over at camp) and new beds. They may not be able to sleep much.

I really hope you’re joking but sadly I don’t think you are

I was in stiches too! But I also think it's really charming and endearing! Letting the club captain be the one to go through the door first and it also gave a real sense of camaraderie too. We have no idea what it's like to be among the group of players themselves, but it would be to the fans benefit if the guys get on with one another. It did honestly seem like many of them are excited to use the new facility, so long may that continue!

Yeah, good to keep up the together-ness and team spirit. Good on Wes and Vardy for leading the way. But Gray looked a bit unhappy - perhaps sad that he knows he needs to leave soon.

I actually thought this as well, but then realised that it's essentially staying over at a hotel the night before a big away game.... and at the moment we play much better away!!

Hasn't been a problem for the majority of away games we've played this season!

As Leicester City take a significant step forward with the opening of a world-class training ground in Seagrave, north Leicestershire, LCFC.com looks at the project in numbers.

I think the tall one is a keeper. He's got goalie gloves in his hand. Could well be Jakub Stolarczyk.

 

I don't think the short one is Thomas. Doesn't look like him. Don't know who that is.

Tall one is Stolarczyk, he and Odunze (the 6'8 GK we signed from the MLS) were both training with the first team today

Vards really is a ****ing wuss in the cold ain't he lol

 

Reminds me of a lad I play with from work, gets his thermal tights on in October. 

3% body fat = zero insulation.

 

 

(I wish I could tell you that from personal experience.)

Watch Jonny Evans casually stroll out in a pair of shorts and a waterproof, no trackies, no scarf, no hat, no snood. lol

 

Our kid Vards is definitely built for tropical climes.

Having built the training complex at huge expense, the more challenging task is how to use it productively to improve the skills of our players. Two suggestions:

1. Kelechi Iheanacho, Teach him how to hit the ball with his right foot. He has an explosive left, but  if the ball comes to him on his right, he contorts his body to try to take it on his left, sometimes missing the ball altogether.

2. Maddison, Tielemans etc. Yes, Madders sometimes does score a marvellous goal. Otherwise too many of our shots, including his, sail over the crossbar.  Example: Youri's effort against Spurs last weekend.  Cannot professional players be coached to keep their shots down?  Our players could do worse than to study clips of Mahrez. I don't think I an remember a shot of his that went over the crossbar. Some of his shots ended high in the net - e.g. at Man City and Watford in 15/16, and against us earlier this season - but seldom clear the bar. In this respect, he should be an example to all our players likely to end up in shooting positions, and to their coaches.

He's acclimatised to cold, it's always fckin' cold here.  10c is considered summer in NI and even if it's below zero it's only 'light jacket' weather.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but neither of your suggestions require a £100m state of the art training facility.
