I know, poor bastards. Now they only have one Jesus on their side.

It’s a shame Bravo isn’t still with them. Jamie loves putting hat tricks past him.

Who will it be in goal then? Eike Immel?

Premier League trying to get the ban lifted. I wonder if they would try as hard if it didn’t involve the “top clubs”
Premier League: Clubs hopeful players will be cleared to play this weekend
Premier League clubs remain hopeful their players will be released for matches this weekend, after four national associations trigger a Fifa rule to prevent them appearing.

We definitely need to consider our options here with such a big game on Thursday. I suspect Rodgers will field a full strength side (twice) but I'd be tempted to chuck in Soumare, Daka, any fit defender and Lookman at a minimum.

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers: "We have most of our players now back and available, obviously some are still short on fitness. The likes of James Justin and Wesley Fofana are probably the only two that are out at the moment, in terms of fitness. Ryan Bertrand will be back and available.
"We now have only three substitutes, so there’s a strategy going into the game. We have to be as sure as we possibly can in terms of how long the players can last, but we’ll see where we’re at before we finalise the team.
"Jonny Evans and Jannik Vestergaard are progressing very, very well. We’ve had a good international break with getting players [game time] and increasing their fitness level, so hopefully all those players should be fit and available."

He also said Ricardo is fine which is tremendous news.
I can't imagine Evans starting because he's had so little football. But Vestergaard, Castagne or Bertrand coming in would enable us to go to a back five.
All of a sudden it looks like we might be okay defensively.

That is an odd thing to say. Are they both still out long term or has Fofana made a miraculous recovery and will be available in a couple of weeks.

Occasionally I do think that BR is tricky to decipher. He does give me cold shivers at times remembering Puel speaking.

I think he was probably just aimlessly rambling through banal questions from journalists.

My brain would probably switch off after a million pointless questions so fair play to him for still trying

I thought it reached its peak when the reporter asked him his opinion on how amazing fridges are.
