Match Thread Leicester v Tottenham

[popillius]

Love how Cooper tried to make out Vardy wouldn’t make it

Yeah.

It was definitely a deliberate ploy.

Genius....

 

[Orifice]

Come on.
Don't get embarrassed, get stuck in, and give us something to cheer.

 

[Graz]

No Ricardo.
No Mavididi.

Mental.

Both massively surprising. I don't understand that one bit.

 

[fitz]

I don't think Mavadidi is premiership quality. There, I said it.

Agreed. Still surprised he doesn't get a start for us though.

 

[fitz]

Cannon must be sick with that quote.

Well he's not wrong. But he probably shouldn't say it.

 

[Willlow]

Come on you Foxes!!

 

[popillius]

Well he's not wrong. But he probably shouldn't say it.

In all fairness, it worries me more that he thinks Daka is a striker. He isn't even a footballer.

Yep. Our 2 options up front this season are either an injured vardy or a not injured vardy.

 

[Micky]

Just imagine we somehow get something tonight....

We'll get battered won't we.

I reckon we'll bum em. It'll be the start of the end for "mate"

 

[homer]

That back four is hideous, but here we go

Waiting for chicken poutine at £14 a pop

Wish me luck

Waiting for chicken poutine at £14 a pop

If it's any good can we play it up front?

 

[M17TT C]

This is probably the least excited I have ever been for the opening match of a season.

Let's be honest, if one of the other promoted teams had lost their manager and their best player then we would be laughing at them and saying that's one relegation place covered.

Then when you combine that with poor transfer activity compared to the other promoted teams, and a potential points deduction then we really could be in for a Sheff Utd/Derby style season I'm afraid.

I hope I'm wrong but looking at that team, and what we seen in pre-season then I really struggle to see where the quality is that will keep us up and I fear an early goal tonight could lead to an embarrassing defeat already.

A point tonight would a a fantastic result for us and we just have to try and keep it tight for as long as possible.

 

[Graz]

Their front 4 terrifies me.

Son, who scores against us for fun.
Maddison against his former club
Ex-Forest Brennan Johnson
And Solanke, who I feel has had a fair few against us too.

 

[Orifice]

Marc Allbrighton talking about Vardy on Radio5 "He has made a conscious effort to look after himself so he can continue to play for us as long as he has been doing".

Interesting that he says "play for us".

 

[FOX Franks]

Vardy!!!!

Not scored yet Alex chill

 

[MerseyFox]

Come on the blues

 

[Graz]

I don't think I've ever thought this before an opening game, but I'd take a competitive 2-0 loss here if you offered it to me now.

We've left 2 of our best players on the bench.

Seeing Vardy is a nice surprise but also a worry and I hope we're not doing more damage there. Hopefully it's been mind games from the manager but I doubt it.
