Match Thread Lille v Leicester (friendly)

[Jeff]

Did it look serious? Bloody hope not

He tried to play on, but was limping.

 

[Volpone]

I was just going to say Benny having a decent game but thought I'd wait until last 5 minutes so as not to jinx it.

 

[popillius]

Jebus, Maddison's injury had better not be serious. We've precious few options to replace him.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Benalouane has been a lot better today. Maybe he just needed a run of games... (cue cock-up leading to a goal)

He could blame that on getting elbowed in the chops earlier. Lille have been playing pretty rough.

 

[Volpone]

Tremendous play from Chilly.

 

[Jeff]

Another good Chilwell cross, Nacho heads just wide.

 

[Skitzo]

Did it look serious? Bloody hope not

Looked like a precaution

 

[H T B]

Limped off after a whack on the ankle, somewhat overenthusiastic challenge from the left back.

Maddison has taken a few rough tackles from the games I've seen

 

[popillius]

Lovely cross again for Iheanacho. Good header, unlucky.

 

[Lako42]

Surprisingly I'd say most of these on the pitch look ready for the season to start.

Kelechi looking confident.

 

[popillius]

Playing out from the back really well there. Much more controlled. I think this is a very positive performance indeed so far.

 

[Jeff]

Good save from Schmeichel.

 

[Volpone]

Benny is a revelation.

 

[Jeff]

 

[Blue Maniac]

Elder, Gordon, Fuchs, Johnson coming on.

 

[Jeff]

Gordon, Elder, Johnson, Fuchs on

 

[Blue Maniac]

Benalouane, Iheanacho, Ndidi, Pereira off?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Benalouane, Iheanacho, Ndidi, Perreira off?

Looks right.

 

[Jeff]

Perreira

Who?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Who?

****ing hell. Ha.
