Pre Match Leicester v Liverpool

[homer]

James Justin wasn't in N'Sync.

Prove he wasn’t

 

[Joe_Fox]

James Justin wasn't in N'Sync.

Thanks for that.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Is this a transcript of you at an NSYNC gig back in the day?

I liked Joey Fat One actually

 

[Skitzo]

Barnes needs to prioritise exploiting the space when TAA goes forward

 

[Graz]

I liked Joey Fat One actually

From the halfway line?

 

[bocadillo]

Anybody else have to Google NSYNC?

 

[mabrah]

Not saying nought until I know the Justin situation... was he in NSYNC (yes boc, I had to google too) or not.

The thought of having to decide between Thomas (relative inexperience) and Fuchs (too slow and tendency to the rash) is not something I want at this point. And fortunately don't have to do. I don't know in short but fear a complete rejig that will indeed see Justin in goal.

 

[FOX Franks]

We’re going to get ****in walloped here like we always do. 4-0.

 

[TommyK]

Schmeichel

Ricardo
Soyuncu
Evans
Fuchs

Ndidi
Tielemans
Maddison

If Justin is out, his replacement has to be the person least likely to give away a penalty to Salah.

Fuchs to me is more likely to brain fart than Thomas.

 

[Miles Away]

A rested Fuchs can do a job. We had a run there in which every time he started, we won.

The problem is when he has to play more than once a week. He can’t manage that anymore.

 

[mabrah]

A rested Fuchs can do a job.

It's the kind of job he might do that concerns me! He can be, um, 'robust' shall we say.

I'm inclined to agree with BN, Sala's going to torment either Fuchs or Thomas but Thomas is less likely to give away the penalty. But I'm hoping (against hope?) that Justin will be fit and able.

 

[Skitzo]

Castagne is meant to be back for this isn't he, our (pre season) first choice back 4 might actually play together for the first time

[Lako42]

This is going to be a real bumming.

 

[mabrah]

I'm not so sure. They're not firing on all 4 (or 6, or 8, or whatever) If there ever was a time to play them...

We're definitely in with a shout imo but it'll be a real test of our self-belief etc.

 

[City Fan]

It’ll be a typical performance against Liverpool.

We’ll set us as scaredy cats, shit the bed, bend over and get royally bummed.

 

[Richie_d123]

Fabinho out for them too now. We will still lose.

 

[Miles Away]

Here’s my last guess:
Kasper

Amartey
Soyuncu
Evans

Ricardo
Albrighton

Ndidi
Tielemans
Maddison

Barnes
Vardy
