Match Thread Leicester v Liverpool

[londonfox]

They will destroy us with pace, dynamism, flair and trickery

They won't need all of that

 

[londonfox]

The players cannot be scared. No respect for the opposition, fight with blood, sweat and tears and give everything. The crowd need to be on point.

I'll settle for getting reasonably close to the opposition and then not passing them the ball on the edge of our box.

 

[Graz]

In that case Mendy or Soumare was the only choice left to make IMO - but I would've definitely gone for Mendy.

That midfield FFS

Lambs to the slaughter

Liverpool have, over the last few years, played perhaps my fave blend of football.

Liverpool are a club that might fancy Tielemans, possibly even Maddison too.

So maybe we'll get a performance from them as they 'audition' for a new club.

Wishful thinking!

There is a fair chance that Youri could link up with Gakpo or Salah for a goal or two.

 

[Graz]

We HAVE to score first and we will need to score 2-3.

Don't be silly, that's not our tactic.

We're going to lull them into a sense of security by letting them go 2 or 3 ahead, maybe more, then when they've taken their foot off the gas, we'll try to take advantage and stage an epic comeback.

Only to fall short because we start with that 15 mins to go when they're already too far ahead.

cue gaping gaps in our middle and our Full backs being isolated by our midfield

 

[taupe]

So... what odds on Evans being subbed off due to injury? 20 minutes you reckon?

 

[Graz]

Wilf to be booked, Salah, TAA and Gakpo to score in 90 mins. 175/1

May as well make some money out of it.

Bold call on Evans but if Soyuncu is really injured, then I'd rather take the gamble than the inevitable mistake from Big Dan Amartey.

Full back decision makes sense, just hope we have not bought Riccy P back to soon again for him to pick up another injury.

Midfield looks ok on paper and hopefully we can see a performance that their reputations deserve from Youri and Wilf.

Soumare, we'll just have to hope for a miracle!

Not sure why I have a slight amount of hope now we are nearing kick off but fully expect that to be pissed all over within 5 mins.

 

[homer]

The half and half scarves had Schmeichel's face on them tonight

****s still buying them by the dozen

 

[Graz]

If, big if, Evans stays fit then he could be so important for these final few games.

Wish he'd come back sooner.

Although I do feel disappointed in how little we've heard from our captain in recent months

 

[MerseyFox]

Fingers crossed

 

[M17TT C]

Well the pitch looks very nice anyway.

So... what odds on Evans being subbed off due to injury? 20 minutes you reckon?

wonder how many minutes Northern Ireland have allowed him to play

Hopefully he makes it to ay least 5 mins. In doubt ATM.

At least we've started with some energy, closing down quickly - giving the fans a reason to get behind them

 

[Graz]

Finally some REAL hunger being shown by this team! Where has this been?!
