[Tuna]

Defining moment of a game for Cooper today if ever there was one.

[Swarles Barkley]

4-0 Ipswich. Cooper rewarded with longer contract

I can't complain about the lineup, but I'll echo others by saying it's pretty damning of our summer business. The one player deemed good enough to start from that window is a player we don't own and have no hope of signing permanently. 

 

With no points deduction incoming and us not yet being in the bottom three, our January window needs to be MUCH better.

I think Bilal and Skipp could get into the starting 11 but he relies way to much on Ndidi who isn't that bad but Bilal is 10x better going forward and can probably press just as well

[shailen]

Like the team. Cooper is trying to change things to fix our leaky defence so can't fault him there for the changes and a very attacking line up for a game we should be going for.

[lcfcsnow]

We're almost back to last seasons starting 11 now, it's only missing Justin when you consider Buononotte is KDH's replacement.

Another mess of a transfer window adding more rubbish we're stuck with.

What has okoli done wrong?

Hopefully it's not a reaction to the midweek mess.  But probably pressure to include Vesty in a game we could have the better of the possession and it's arguably safer to play two CB's who played a full season together than to play Vesty with Okoli. 

 

Just wondering what VK does if this is indeed a return to last seasons system.

[Skidmark]

Cooper bends to the fans again - watch the 3-0 loss come.

 

They're a dangerous team, and we're the ever obliging Leicester City. 

[Will1981]

When is Daka back we can not rely on Vardy all season.

Now that is a good line up....finally!

 

Come on Leicester! 💙

Disagree completely Vestergaard to be massively exposed here and Kristiansen to be ripped a new one

Fans have no influence over the manager

[MarriedaLeicesterGirl]

Strong team. I hope it is a defining game (with a win).

[Groby_Blue]

Very good looking starting 11 but just like Forest the other week, hardly anything on the bench to bring on and change a game, with the possible exception of Bilal. 

 

We need to be winning this before we run out of steam. 

[Fazzer 7]

Pleased to see Justin out and Vesty in.  Might not leak so many goals. We'll see! 

[KP Fox]

Oh my! Starting with Enzo ball 2 prem matches in a row! Come on You Foxes! 💙🏆🦊

[jayfox26]

Arguably our strongest 11 that. I think Winks will benefit from having Vestergaard back as we've missed having someone in the back line who can find a pass. As slow as Vestergaard is, he's alongside Winks as being the best passer of a ball we have. 

[The Guvnor]

Let’s go, 3 points please 

[kiddo]

Decent bench if he uses it.

[JimJams]

I know JJ isn't the man at the minute, but if this is last seasons formation can/will VK actually play that role?

Decent XI and options off the bench, plenty to like about that.

Only concern is the left.

Can't moan at that

Yes you can because as far as I'm concerned putting someone who hasn't played a second all season along with someone who has played just over an hour and a left back who was part of the XI that went 2 nil down to Southampton doesn't sit well with me at all

Prob be a flat back four

[lcfcbluearmy]

Not sure why people are wanting Okoli over Feas. Okoli hasn't impressed me at all Feas is twice the player

[Larry_LCFC]

A good manager would do bits with that team. Buts it's a team that need good coaching and currently they aren't getting it.

Fatawu needs to have a better name than last time out. 

Okoli over Faes would have been my pick. But the rest I'm happy with. 

Let's see which 20 minutes will be our good 20 and see if we can hold out for the rest.

Fatawow?
