Is anyone else absolutely shitting themselves

And this is why we need someone in for a bit of positivity. These guys are more negative than Rodgers and set us up not to lose rather than win.

...first game up, against a team pushing for top 6, you cannot afford to go gung-ho!!!

  The team and the club is fragile at the moment, today will be a better indication of how they see the best way to move us forward.

  I would say Sadler looking at the stats would have devised the team and formation but I  feel Stowell has a better feel of the zeitgeist of the squad.

  Lots of pace and pressure today, we will miss KDH for the energy he brings, we need Tete playing instinctively off a high tempo. Nacho really needs to be playing in a front 3 so Vardy or Daka upfront today, with genuine support of players going beyond either of them.

  The atmosphere was muted last game, because the crowd were nervous,  we need to give them something on the pitch which they can buy into, they want to believe,  we just need to give them something to believe in.

Nah I’m excited. It reminds of the great escape/title win season games where there is so much on it. Makes a change from the home games so far this season where we have been going through the motions assuming we wouldn’t be in serious relegation trouble.

It’s whether we can defend a lead too. Even if we go 1 up, you just have no confidence in us to defend it. Need at least 2 clear goals if we are gonna win.

Soumare 

Cant wait to see him strolling around the Park like he don't give a shite! 

[FoxFossil]

We're getting Rogered I fear.

[indierich06]

Our relegation rivals are in for much tougher afternoons than us - most of these lose, surely? Win this and we will be in a much better spot.

We are playing Bournemouth not Man City. Player for player we are better. Match them for effort and keep it 11 v 11 and we win. It is a must win. We need to play our part. COYB.

[Raj]

No disrespect to Bournemouth  but if we cant beat them today it's over.

We wont get much from the remaining games as we dont have the mental strength or characters who can get up for a dog fight.

 

Man c a 0 points

Leeds a 0 points

Wolves h draw 1

Everton h draw? 1

Fulham a 0

Liverpool h 0

West ham ???? Will it be over by then???

 

Pray to all your gods....

With City next another loss today and that’s it I’m afraid.

“Match them for effort” and there is the hub of the problem. 

[Kierzz]

Nacho Ricardo and praet need to start for us to work this..

 

No more vardy, Ndidi and KDH (even when back from suspension)

[Chelmofox]

Was fired up for the Villa game but feel really flat today.  Suppose the Marsch rumours aren't helping!  Those last minute goals really knock the stuffing out of you as well. Maybe i will perk up before the game but im pretty fearful about this one today. Would be nice to actually see us win for a change. Spent a lot of money watching us lose this season!

It’s not really worked out like that for us though this season, like losing to Southampton twice

Let you know at 5pm

Bournemouth at 3/1 has to be a good bet doesn’t it? They are our bogey team, their in better form (won two out of the last 4), and we are a directionless mess of a side currently with no real spark or plan and likely have to play Soumare…

[Cecchini1976]

Based on the information I have heard around the line up today, I fear the worst. Vardy up top again, Souttar dropped for Amartey, soumare in for Mendy. Ricardo on the wing.

hope I’m wrong

Not being that bad but the confidence has wained  a bit think it’s mainly due to the fact we may be getting a wannabe Ted Lasso as manager Just doesn’t scream out progression feels like we’re clutching at straws !

Surely Soumare comes in for KDH rather than Mendy?
