Leicester v Liverpool (12:30 GMT) Leicester striker Jamie Vardy got another half-hour under his belt in his comeback from hernia surgery when he came off the bench to help them beat Brighton in the FA Cup on Wednesday. Pretty sure vardy played the first hour and then made way for the nacho man... It's patently ghost - written bollocks. Some of the ill researched and fact checked stuff on BBC Sport lately has been unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirminghamFox Posted 12 February 2021 Share Posted 12 February 2021 I wonder if we might get a mention on Sky for this fixture.... at least 10% with 90% drooling over the Scousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suffolk fox Posted 12 February 2021 Share Posted 12 February 2021 I fear for tomorrow. Not in the fact we are playing Liverpool and they are particularly good but Brendan Rogers always sets us up wrong against these. He will do his normal approach of showing them far too much respect. We will stand off them with two banks of four and Vardy as the sole striker. We will allow them to play out from the back as we did at Anfield stand off them gifting them possesion with plenty of time on the ball. If only we could get in their faces have a high press as Brighton did against them we could get something, added with do not allow them to play out from the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were to do it though, I would want Barnes Vardy Albrighton Thomas Ndidi Tielemans Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Fofana Fofana's injured, unfortunately. It will probably be that, though, with Amartey for little Wes, and maybe Kevin instead of Thomas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't do much about the fact Macca is going to spend the 90 minutes you DO listen to fawning over Liverpool but you can mitigate the rest. The studio pundits can't tell you anything about Leicester you don't know anyway. I haven't bothered with that shit for years, don't even watch MOTD anymore. Why bother when our highlights are on YouTube an hour after the game ends? You don't tune in, you can't be disappointed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it can be a bit negative around here, particularly after a defeat, but you get far more meaningful conversations from people who actually watch us week in week out. And you can still enjoy some bellend spouting controversial opinions like listening to Sutton, and the happy clappers that see no bad in their team, just like Jenas - so you don't even miss out on the punditry really.

The Quick Brown Fox Posted 12 February 2021 Share Posted 12 February 2021 15 hours ago, urban fox said: Think he will go for the experience of Fuchs... or how about if he puts Thomas in at LB, Albrighton switches to left, where we know he is good, to provide help to the lad. Ricky can look after himself so Under replaces Barnes and plays on the right. wouldn’t be my first choice but it is an option, and would certainly confuse Klopp game-plan. If it ain’t working bring Barnes on and swap back. Keep Barnes on the left, Ndidi will be on to help cover the left back and leave Barnes higher up the field. MA on the right will help cover right back so Ndidi can sit further to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Teapot Posted 12 February 2021 Share Posted 12 February 2021 This isn't the season to still be the fa cup and Europe with no pre season nor funds to have a massive squad, we're victims of our own success. A top 7 finish from here would be a hell of a result. 15 games in the league, at least 3 more in the cups, we're going to have to throw one competition at least by playing kids. 33 games in. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbury Fox Posted 12 February 2021 Share Posted 12 February 2021 If we play 5 at the back against these it will be carnage. They will just pick us off over and again down the flanks, with both their full backs overlapping Mané and Salah. We're surely going to have to risk Fuchs or Thomas in a 4? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
