Also definitely need a new no.1 for next season.

Love Soyuncus new found long balls, wheres he been hiding them these last few years? 

 

 

I thought it was something else that was massive?

Wolves did what we berate our team for, scored and dropped off. Any idea if this is usual?

[Guest Lcfc82]

Don’t think we’ve been that bad to be honest. Definitely come into the game more as the half went on and deserve to be level.

We just look a bit shaky at the back still

Wolves are still playing the same shit-on-a-stick football as under Nuno.

 

Going without a back 5 and no attacking midfielder against a defence as weak as ours is really negative.

Wolves just have loads of guys behind the ball and go long to their tricky wingers. Simple effective football but nothing special. I think we’ve made them look really average today.

[hejammy]

Lookman has been our best player so far. Aggressive in winning the ball back and making the right decisions going forward. Still defensively (mainly Thomas) looks very weak. Cags has been OK to be fair. Youri in my opinion has to work harder but fair play for the pass for the goal 

[lcfcdamo]

Lookman best player for us by some way i think we have bin the better side its just are defence any team that attacks us look like scoring 

[funkyrobot]

Look awful defending but have played the better football going forward. I’d swap Iheanacho for Daka. Patson is a defender’s dream with his running, never tries to find space, almost marks his defender. Not got the intelligence of Vardy off the ball atm. 

[Tielemans63]

Big fan of Daka but I really think Nacho creating in front of the Wolves defence would be more effective than hoping Patson gets in behind, which he hasn't done once or even looked like doing.

[filbertway]

Fun watch! Couple of really entertaining games on sky today!

 

More of the same 2nd half hopefully

 

Cant shake the feeling Soy picks up a red in the 2nd half haha. 

 

If someone could genuinely injure and hurt that diving cheat Ait Noori then that'd be enjoyable for me

Fair play to Brendan, in that final 20 minutes he seems to have ditched the tiki-taka and we've been much more direct and much more threatening as a result. That high ball to Lookman in behind Kilman is bringing us some joy.

We'll go 2-1 up and he'll bring on Vestergaard, Soumaré and Jakupović.

Like he used to do when Vardy was up front

Yes, for a team with an absolutely awful defense, why do we try to defend everything? 

[tom27111]

Thank god I'm home for the second half.

 

How the hell has Clinton Morrison got a job as co-commentator on 5 Live?

 

 

[beepee1984]

Some of the usual frailties in defence, but looking positive going forward.

Soyuncu has looked better especially with the ball at his feet. Still looks like he could be beat by a long ball

Tielemans is having a mixed day, genius pass to set-up the goal, but don't underestimate Albrightons run and desire to get in to the position for Tielemans to find. 

Ndidi doesn't look his past brilliant defensively

 

Overall we have been the slightly the better side, but this game could really go either way. It will come down to Rodgers subs

 

[Finnegan]

Roy Keane being unnervingly nice about us shortly after turning the Sunderland job down....

They don't concede many at all so I'm impressed we've scored with the lack of attacking players on the pitch

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

Daka has been making early runs to get in behind but the ball has not been played early enough as often our midfielder want that extra touch. He then runs offside and we have to go wide or back 

 

He needs to learn to delay his movement just a fraction. He still has the pace to get in behind

[Typhoeus]

Not a bad first half, feel a bit nervous in defence but the better team so far. 

 

I think Daka isn't working at the moment, Iheanacho would be far more useful in both getting into scoring positions and holding the ball up.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

We've been the better team without doubt. Just look so nervous with any ball in to our box? I literally can't remember us winning a single header in our box other than Ricardo putting it out for a corner. 

 

Had a built a bet 13/2 youri shot on target, patson shot on target and both teams to score come in so happy days. Also done kdh anytime scorer 9/1 and us to win both teams to score 6/1 so hopefully kdh with the winner and I'm laughing. 

[justfoxes]

Didn’t catch the first 25 min but think we’ve played some decent passes Youris for the Lookman equaliser was a sublime pass, DAKA needs a bit more support upfront!

Second half let’s get into them just worrying the amount of cards Pawson is dishing out !!

Better second half Leicester let’s take the 3 points home with us !!

Podence really shouldn't have booted the ball into Lookman, really seems to have made us more determined now. Bad start, the defence is still a mess, doubt we'll keep them to one,  maybe a red card coming though.

any other bad news to report ??

[Clever Fox]

We need to win this with other results going against us if we are to have any hope of top six.

Fancy @TheBear might be along later to tell us they are not at their best today, if that’s the case. Keep it up. 

[theessexfox]

Positive comments from Roy Keane feels a bit like that rare praise from your dad 

[Guest Manini]

Do quite like Lookman. His end product is sometimes a bit suspect, but at least he’s direct and wants to get in the box and run at defenders. He’s No Mahrez but he’s not bad.
