I think Lookman and Thomas are lucky to be playing.

 

[homer]

Holy shit, that’s not good. Lookman FFS

Gerrard has had them packing the midfield, so they are going to run right through us

4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 is a massive mistake in this game

 

[Orifice]

I'm looking forward to how much of the ball Daka gets and how (Top Form) Maddison works with him.

 

[Willlow]

Both Barnes and Lookman lucky to start, but I’m not sure Perez and Albrighton really fill me with excitement. We really do need to sign some wide players if we have any ambitions to be top 4… easier said than done I suppose.

 

[Bezu Fache Fox]

We're screwed. I'm going for a walk.

 

[DillyDing22]

I like the lineup, think we win this.

 

[City Fan]

Lookman?

**** off now Brendan

 

[Willlow]

Saving Vardy for Thurs?

 

[popillius]

Lookman....
It's like a really shit sitcom.

 

[Graz]

Not that surprising of a lineup really.

Soumare out for KDH was expected. We have little other option at right wing or left back (although it shows just how out of favour Bertrand is with BR, as well as the fans)

Vardy probably partly being saved for Napoli, but an easier decision to make after a poor performance last time out, so it's probably a bit of both in reality.

Hope we get plenty of service into Daka.

 

[Brown Nose]

We outnumber them out wide. They outnumber us in the middle.

Where the game gets played will be key. We need to use our width and get the full backs overlapping. If we get drawn into a midfield battle, we'll lose.

 

[Brown Nose]

Why oh why are we struggling this season?

Puel

 

[popillius]

Yeah, it's not rocket science. Fofana out coinciding with both Evans and Soyuncu forgetting how to be professional footballers had been disastrous for us. Our defence is appalling and we are relying on scoring more than the opposition at the minute. Without Vardy, the struggle will be greater than usual.

We are going to lose this game.

 

[Brown Nose]

Perez and Choudhury walking down the side of the pitch to the dugout clutching their hot water bottles.

 

[parafox]

If we can make sure every player gets their hot chocolate, story and nap in at half time we're sure to nick this

Apparently, the players spent an hour on the training ground yesterday practising their thumb sucking.

I thought it was any of

Lookman
Soumare
Barnes not putting a shift in
Nacho not playing
Bertrand Covid pre season
Fofana injury
Maddison’s insta
Ricardo’s ACL
Soyuncu’s Euro 2020
Signing two Southampton defenders
Brendan’s head being turned
No atmosphere
