Post Match Leicester 2 Liverpool 0 (league cup)

[Speedy1]

Iborra, King and James should never, ever, play in a "2".

I was just thinking about this in relation to Saturday and the fact that we'll have to play Wilf and King shows just how weak we are in the middle.

Agree Gray deserves a start over Albrighton.

I slated Iborra first half and much of the 2nd but he did show at times in the 2nd that he has played football before.

Dragovic is an upgrade on Benny, looked OK but I don't see him challenging for a 1st string CB position... yet.

Choudhury was lost but hopefully he'll get more chances. Impossible to

Shit a sniper got Ludlow.

What a weird, hilarious, bizarre game of football that was.

Ulloa, and I love the bloke, is so far gone at this stage it's comical to watch him play.

Iborra, King and James should never, ever, play in a "2".

Big Wes excellent, Dragovic too. Thought Albrighton did alright to be honest, but I'd probably start Gray at the weekend.

Okazaki is probably my favorite player these days.

Liverpool must be sick of coming to the KP. One more time lads.

Hopefully it's too early to judge Iborra. If it wasn't I wouldn't even let him on the pitch never mind in a 2. Looked like he's never played at any level never mind professional. He's like that mate who has bantz from work that you drag to your 5 a side because someone who can actually control a ball can't play as their wife has made plans for the same evening and she never goes out. You then feel sorry for him and hatred for yourself because you've inflicted that shitness on your team. just like that

If he doesnt allow Gray to start on Sat and gain some momentum then he's a busted flush.

I would also go 352 to actually enable our horrific midfielders to have a chance

On the upside i had ourselves, Bristol Titty and Bournemouth in a Lucky 15. Feckin Burnley let me down, the bastards

Just noticed Bournemouth was a draw at FT.

Poosticks

Little point in getting players in from la Liga and Serie A, (and Primeira Liga for that matter) if they can't instantly get used to the roughing up at speed they get in the Prem.

 

[bocadillo]

Where are they doing it this time? Pyongyang?

SkySports studio in London apparently. It will be shown live on SkySports News.

Always nice to beat the Scouse. But **** me we should have been 3 down & game over by half time. Bullet dodged. Ulloa & Slimani up top...Christ on a bike! Iborra I'm fine with. Not match fit, not used to the pace, I've seen some shite debuts & early games by city players that have gone on to be consistent performers. Gerry Taggart springs to mind. His 1st few games for us were painful on the eyes. We need to sign a right back as amatter of priority (but then again we've needed to do that for 2 years at least & nobody at the club seems to have noticed) Robertson must have gone in at half-time thinking he had the worst case of BO known to man. Amartey is no right back & not even good enough to use as an emergency cover option. He isn't a defensive mid either. He's a CB but obviously isn't going to get a game there unless we get 4 injuries so what's the point really?

Anyway...cracks papered over for now so onwards & upwards with the tragi-comedy.

If we play 3-5-2, is it madness to suggest we would play with Albrighton and Chilwell? Both seem to be effective wing backs and Albrighton is a better player on the right IMO

 

[fitz]

We won't play anything other than 4-4-2. Wasn't it attempted against Southampton last season and the players just stood there doing **** all in protest. Chicken + 4-4-2 = keep your job.

And at home against Chelsea.

Literally what the duck do we know?!!

 

[Blaarev]

And we complain about some of our players......

He was right though. I thought he was the worst player on the pitch. Seemed to be in a bad mood from the start.

 

[tedfoxxx]

He's one of those players, like Barkley or Lingaard, who I've never seen have a particularly impressive game and yet is still regarded as a 'top' player.

My thoughts are:

Players that need more game time: Gray, Lborra, Slimani
Players that only play when we are desperate: Ulloa

Gray should definitely be in with a shout at the weekend, Albrighton has looked lost of late. Lborra would start for me also in the middle....He wasn't great sometimes, but definitely showed some class, especially setting up Shinji and we are weak in the middle anyway, Slimani is a decent player it just goes to show if you don't play you lose some of your touch.

Lborra.... That was creative!

Lborra.... That was creative!

we have to take all we can get when we have King as an alternative....I like King, but he doesn't offer a lot for the type of game we now play.....If I was going all out risk. I'd have Ndidi and Shinji in the middle with Nacho and Vardy up top.
