I see no limp there personally. The fact he’s fully kitted up with shorts suggests at the very least he’s on the bench 

he's not walking freely at all unless he needs a dump

I don't see the limp either. 

 

 

Also, I'll be at the ground soon so if Rodgers needs me I'll be ready. Went out for a curry last night though so might see my best Lineker impression which won't be pleasant.

haha Hope you're right. Our injury illness situation is getting worrying especially now with so many games to play in the next few weeks. Can't believe Ricardo could play more than half a match?

Was that him around 28-30secs I thought it was Soumare’s little brother as looked tiny.

Fingers crossed he is fully fit because he’ll be up against ASM

I wish people would calm down , you would think we were ten points adrift at the bottom of the table. Leicester fans used to be a lot more philosophical about things.

Its more like we know what this group of players is capable of and we are just not seeing it.  Whether its effort levels, tactics, motivation or coaching....something aint right.

Tea ladys don't tend to turn up in a Clun suit at the same time as the playing squad though. He's turned up at the same time, injured players don't turn up until just before kick off.

 

I wonder if Ricardo has been rushed back as he's there too.

Ricardo posted a pre match graphic on his Instagram which I don’t think he would do if he weren’t at least in the squad. Fingers crossed (and that he’s fully fit as well as course), Timothy clearly needs a break

I think we will all finally find out today and end the debate about over reacting/entitled fans if Rodgers can turn this around, after the last week of villa and getting knocked out of europa there’s no excuse for another shit show, I’m really hoping he can sort this but if we look like a Sunday league team defensively with lack of fight then I personally don’t think he can stop the slide, we really need a reaction for the fans today

They did indeed but ... at that time Leicester didn't have the level of investment or squad of players they have now.

 

With that taken into consideration, they rightly in my opinion expect a better level of performance on the field.

 

The book stops with the manager usually and certainly deserves to in this case. For the money he earns and the elite manager reputation he has, he himself should look at his shoddy performance both as a coach and tactician because he's coming up remarkably short for me.

Watched Liverpool play villa this morning, what I noticed was when Liverpool came forward they had 8-9 players either inside or just out side villas penalty box and players were making little runs in and around , not like are lot who stand rooted to the spot . Then watched Manchester city and they done the exact same thing , now either Rodgers can’t coach that into the players or that just not good enough . Now remember with 8-9 players up that height they only have 1-2 defenders and a keeper yet they never really get caught out in defence, again either Rodgers can’t coach a defensive pattern or again there just not that good . My take Rodgers not either trying to coach that way or doesn’t have the know how 

....I would say it will be all about the "Press" and " Counter Press"!!!

  If you get tight to your opponents on the edge of their box, there is little they can do to extricate themselves. Should we then win the ball, only then to immediately lose it, we will then have to counterpress to win it back in seconds or take up a defensive formation.

  We no longer counterpress, we see that every week, as soon as we lose the ball the other team has shifted it forward going through our midfield and at our backline in two moves. We do not press effectively for too long, we will for the first 5 minutes in a game, then drop our intensity. We also do not press all together. We either choose to all go at the same time, or not at all, because we are too easy to play through, if only Vardy and A N Other are the ones putting a press into action.

  With our present fragile mentality it seems half the team doesn't know if they should stay or go.

Lots of traffic on m1 between J15 and J16.

 

Stationary. Helicopter hovering above the road. 

 

Doesn't look likely even now will get to the ground on time. Hope everyone is okay but anyone yet to leave, avoid this route!

Issues on the trains too. If people are getting the train from Peterborough onwards they won't make kick-off.

Even if they hate rugby, the players should all be forced to sit in a room and watch the Tigers’ game at Bordeaux yesterday.

 

Everything that this City side currently lack - guts, organisation, solidity, team spirit, fight to the finish - was on show in that huge win.

 

A performance like that against Newcastle today would quickly get the fans back onside.

...it took a "new broom" to come in to install all the attributes that you have quoted!!!

  We were only going one way under the previous manager and he could not arrest a slide.

  In a one team down (relegation) and a team (Saracens) punished with a 35 points deduction applied to them, yet we (Tigers) were still looking the likely to finish last, so another 35 points were deducted, in order to ensure Saracens went down. 

  Yes we were that bad!!!

From the BBC website:

 

  • Leicester are at risk of losing nine top-flight home games in a calendar year for the first time in their history.

And we've got Spurs and Liverpool to come in December.

What’s the deal with the pre-match squad leak we always used to get? Have we had one since the start of the season? Always knew it was Big Wes.

Home win, no problem.

1-0 to Newcastle, via a penalty. Not only would that keep our 2-goals/game conceded average going, it would also be consistent with yesterday's results between Midlands/East Anglian clubs and ones from up north.

I'm expecting a LOT of diving and aying for free kicks today and I don't blame them. The more set piece opportunities they win, the greater their chance of getting all 3 points.
