Yep. Always seems to play well against us.

There have always been certain bang average players over the years that always seem to play well against us, he's definitely one of them. 

[martyn]

Why do I keep seeing Faes and pace in the same sentence. He isn't Vestergaard slow but he is not a quick player.

[Supergray22]

This is it. Our most important game (so far) of the season. COYB. 💙🦊

He doesn't even give the illusion of pace, stumps for legs.

[Simonb]

Guessing Coady isn't fit enough to start 2 games so quick. I can understand Hamza out.. yes I'm delighted he cleared 3 off the line, but in the build up to the latter 2 clearances he was the one who gave the ball away so just corrected his own mistake in the first place.

 

Hoping for the first time in a while we face a team tonight that actually has a proper go at us and leaves plenty of space to attack in behind.

 

Expecting an open game.. something like 2-2... so that's a guaranteed 0-0 now

 

[South Shire Fox]

Would of started Choudhury at RB and put Ricardo into midfield like he did against Leeds. Ndidi will be blowing out his arse within 30 minutes

Hes still faster than all our other centre backs.

The opening question in the Russell Martin interview on Sky was really uncompromising, hard hitting journalism.

 

"Russell, you are a born leader...."

 

[Corky]

What makes Brussell a great human as well as a born leader? What is this? 

[Trev3939]

Must win 

[RussBKK]

Please Sky... Not another female commentator tonight. I'm sick and tired of watching games with the sound on mute.

[Tielemans63]

 

30 minutes until the agony commences...

[Trelleh]

We win this but lump your house, car and kids on Che Adams scoring at least one and cupping his ears to the family stand

I would have kept Hamza in and maybe put Ricardo in Wilf’s position.

Starting to think Coady played v WBA to counter their physicality / number of big guys specifically, horses for courses. However the spine of Coady, Winks and Vardy had a chain of leadership and vocality about it and clearly worked.

Yeah, I like Ricardo in the 8 role.

[DZ-LCFC]

4-2 lestah 

 

2  vardy 

1 mavs

1 kdh 

 

2 faes own goal 

[ARTY_FOX]

Coady and vestergaard can't play a high line together. It would be ridiculous. Too slow.

[FoxOnWheels]

Not Hamza biggest fan but surely at this stage of the season we pick players on form and after his last performance and the plaudits he’s got from it was probably full of confidence and fight, can’t help but think it’s gonna be another blunt performance

They have one of the greatest men in football in their studio (not Colin) yet we are hearing some corporate speak bullshit about a man who probably has meeting Brendan Rodgers in his top five life achievements.

[copunk]

3-1 to them 

Had chance after chance to put our stamp on this promotion race and we have pi**ed it away every time, I unfortunately can't see tonight being any different 

[The Guvnor]

Team selection is good, just need to approach this like we fcuking want it

 

 

[Jattdogg]

Lets get the 3 points. Positive vibes!
