Ndidi and Hamza aren't fit enough to start, neither are Castagne or Vardy.

 

Leaves you with Soumare who hasn't been doing too well recently, which leaves you with 2 kids who have never started a senior game, and VDC who isn't that good.

Is that confirmed?  Fair enough but I still feel Perez Maddison lookman is asking for trouble in this game. Surely at least one of the three was worth risking for damage limitation.

Unnecessarily diving in and getting booked. There was no need to slide in like that whether he won the ball or not.

Give over!

Indeed there is but we could have had an injury in the 1st minute of the match so what do you do then?

Sub the same position twice?  (I've had to do that myself in FM, so...)

Surely Wilf, Soumare and Castagna would've made us stronger. If they're Fir for the bench they should be starting surely 

As has been mentioned above, big difference for being fit for 30 and being fit for 60/70mins

Well that simply isn't true. You start 2 player's who you know will not last the 90 puts you in a shitty situation. 

Well I said I'd start one not two. What of we'd had injuries in the first 5 minutes?

League title or World Cup winners. That is debatable 

I was referring to success with Leicester. 

[TonyN11]

Some of our forward play today has been pleasing on the eye.

Just hope we can take that part into the Liverpool game.

We're managing the squad. Better chance of getting something out of Liverpool. Bring them back in for Liverpool/Norwich.

[Guest Kopfkino]

Respect the fact we’ve gone out and attacked the game. Expected little better at the other end, Tielemans has made it look worse than it is.

[Brooksy]

Obviously we were gonna lose but the refereeing in this country is beyond a joke now.

Hamza and Vardy are not fit enough to start, I think you find it a case of of who is fittest starts

This needs a fat Mike Sunday morning team talk “it’s 0-0 lads after HT”.

[HybridFox]

9-0? 10-0? 

[Sunbury Fox]

Went for a walk after that joke of a first pen. Kavanagh was bound to add to our misery but that was a real shocker even by his standards when we're up against the Big 6.

 

Have just checked the HT score and it's better than I expected.

 

Playing this game with the number of players we are missing calls into question the integrity of the league.

Probably. We don't have an easy answer I know but somebody asked so I put forward a suggestion.

Probably to make up the numbers. That's where we are, injured players on the bench. 

Strange to  think players who can’t play will be taken all the way to Manchester during this period of covid disruption 

[filbertway]

Considering the team we've named, im quite impressed with that performance. Nice to see us actually getting men forwards in an attempt to score rather than sitting in.

 

Now I've said that I fully expect Rodgers to change it up so we sit in all 2nd half

He got booked for winning a tackle?

Yep - the Officials are corrupt. The EPL is losing integrity as time moves on.  

[dynamark]

Allegedly we have had 8 shots each team,Nacho getting a free kick for being fouled by his teamate was the highlight

It’s as worse as it’s ever been. It’s about time these refs were outed and the whole approach to refereeing changed…. Pretty sure he was running around the pitch with semi. 

[justfoxes]

Well 2 half decent goals and 2 dodgy penalty decisions this league needs to audit these damn awful officiating performances demote Kavanagh & Tierney to Sunday league games !

[NaijaFox]

RUBBISH! 

 

EVERYONE is struggling, but Nacho and Perez have been shite...

Nacho is not pressuring their CEs and they are just strolling out with the bal!

What odds can you get on. Second half comeback?

 

 

Could u imagine! U probably can't even get odds on that its so impossible! Best we can hope for is they score less than 9 and we maybe get a consolation goal!
