Match Thread Brighton v Leicester

[Jeff]

Well played once again Jon Rudkin. Buffoon.

Nothing to do with government bureaucracy caused by Brexit then?

Apparently if you pay for a fast track visa it takes five days. He only signed three days ago.

Hate to say it but that line-up looks like the answer to the future trivia question “name Brendan Rodgers last starting 11”.

 

[Brown Nose]

Didn't notice Cags wasn't even on the bench! Wow. Hopefully it means he is going, because the thought of him just sitting on the bench or not even there all season while we struggle at the back is even more frustrating.

Unless Rodgers goes tonight - in which case I'd want the new manager to have another go with Soyuncu.

The most idiotic of many idiotic things would be to sell Soyuncu and then sack Rodgers. Then I'll definitely believe that Rudkin is doing it on purpose.

At least Smithies was available for selection.

I’d be ecstatic if it is.

He's a Belgian international that played in France. There are many other signings on deadline day that were far more complex and were available for selection this weekend.

Who leaks the team sheet?

 

[Flabby Owl]

This could be a genuine tactical masterstroke if our front three outgas their back three. If we ever a) get the ball and b) put it forward... Soumare needs to go and play fetch, big time.

(As it's Brendan, I suspect it's a last roll of the dice though...)

I don't know who the players are you're referring to. But I know of some who had to wait to make their debut because they didn't get the visa in time. For example:

Man Utd blow as Casemiro suffers visa issues and will NOT play against Liverpool

MANCHESTER UNITED’S new signing Casemiro is experiencing visa issues and won’t arrive in time to face Liverpool. The midfielder is leaving Real Madrid, where he spent nine successful ye…

Antony: Manchester United confirm agreement with Ajax for £86m transfer of winger

Antony unlikely to be available for Thursdays Premier League clash with Leicester but could make debut against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday, live on Sky Sports; Antony will be Man Utds fifth summer signing

The Streets were right again!

Often benching Vardy is a sign of dead manager walking

But 2 up front is what's needed, and Im hopeful of seeing a good energetic attack today. Brighton are a very good sign defensively, but I think we might win today.

Are we playing 4-4-2?!

You and your facts getting in the way of a good conspiracy again. Spoilsport.

Nice song for Fofana being sung in the concourse

****ing hope so.

How does it go?

 

[homer]

The whole thing is a ****ing abomination

He’s single-handedly destroyed Soyuncu, and now he’s doing the same with Castagne. How the **** Justin plays ahead of him after that shitshow on Thursday is simply unfathomable.

KDH has been struggling all season, but one thing he does to is press and close down in midfield. Nobody there doing that today.

Playing the two clowns up top together is suicide.

I hope all the above is complete and utter bollocks and they all prove me wrong, but I look at that hideous lineup against Brighton’s excellent start to the season, and I see an absolute ****ing hammering this afternoon

Foxes win guaranteed, cheers Homer.

10/1 for Leicester and Man Utd to win today looks good money to me.

Get your money on now, is my advice
