Looks that way

If the answer is Amartey at centre back, then the question being asked is seriously ****ed

What channel is this on? Not coming up on my Sky app

Very surprised to see Amartey at CB instead of Benkovic or Ndidi.

To me that says two things
1. Benkovic is complete shite
2. A new centre back will be in by next weekend, so BR would rather play Amartey who he doesn't trust at centre half than move Ndidi out of position and disrupt prep for our actual setup.

Well that's a surprise. Thanks

Is it, what's shit and comes with a free penalty?

 

[Jeff]

Decent start.

Can someone tell these commentators that both teams are called City. ****s.

 

[popillius]

Bertrand and Barnes linking up really well.

 

[popillius]

**** me, have we actually found someone who can beat the first man from a corner? Boo the ****. That is not the Leicester way.

The question is: who should play at CB out of Amartey and Benkovic....

BR got the answer right

 

[Brown Nose]

Observation 1: We look quite comfortable playing at Wembley now. No early nerves like City teams usually show.

Observation 2: Maddison appears to be convinced that the way forward for him is to try to copy every aspect of play from Grealish.

Observation 3: What the feck is that abomination on the back of the Man Ciry shirts - names and numbers wank style.

 

[popillius]

Everything good for us is coming down their right. Ricardo has barely touched the ball so far.

So fall over at any opportunity?
