Match Thread AEK Athens v Leicester

[Graz]

Good finish from Hamza to be fair.

Maybe that's why he's looked so bad at CDM. he's secretly a striker

 

[TommyK]

Hamza has done well so far. Important pass for the first goal too

Youri is sitting more letting Hamza get about the pitch, smart as it both suits Hamza more and Hamza is the fresher of the pair

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Good stuff so far. Rested a few players, good performance. Under has been impressive too. Refreshing to see after seeing Perez out there for feck knows how long. Seems to have a nice understanding going with Vardy.

 

[DillyDing22]

They are atrocious. We’ve been okay. Rotate and rest now.

 

[Rock Fox]

Enjoying it so far - a very decent away performance

 

[Micky]

The pitch is terrible. We would murder these on a good surface.

We're good enough to beat this lot but we're not looking particularly accomplished. Still, in the context of the game, our squad and injuries I'm not complaining. A good performance without being stretched. Albrighton putting it about and Hamza exercising restraint (I'm sure I saw him pull out of a tackle!)

 

[Skitzo]

I'd like to see Thomas, Nacho and Barnes get at least 30 mins each

Indeed, this is the whole point of having a squad with players who can “do a job”.

 

[Micky]

I like Under. Tielemans needs a rest. Sharky look full of energy. Wes senior is a big chunky legend.

 

[Skitzo]

Luke Thomas coming on for Fuchs

 

[homer]

Athens are ****ing awful

Stick it up ‘em

 

[Graz]

Less so Barnes, he's had a lot of games so it's good to rest him.

But Nacho and Thomas on for Vards and Justin for sure.

Hopefully get one early in the second half to kill it off.

Use Perez instead of Barnes

 

[Graz]

Thomas on for Fuchs, good to see him get some time.

Good time for some minutes.

 

[popillius]

What a ball from Thomas. Wow!

I get that with Harvey but I'd fancy him to score if he gets on

Luke Thomas coming on for Fuchs

I thought that might mean we'd go four at the back. But it looks like Justin has gone into the back three.

 

[Miles Away]

What a ball from Thomas. Wow!

I really like the look of him with the ball. If he can improve defensively he’s going to be ****ing ace.

Bollocks. 1-2
