Match Thread Liverpool v Leicester

[Brown Nose]

This is the line up when we beat them this time last year - Faes for Choudhury is the only difference in the back seven.

Unless he’s playing Wilf as part of a back three?

Clutching at straws, here - but anything other than that and we’ll get murdered down both flanks

unless there's a miracle there'll just be a back 10.

Stats against Newcastle

Daka
1 shot
72% pass accuracy
1 aerial duel won
22 touches

Vardy
0 shots
40% pass accuracy
2 aerial duels won
8 touches

As a team we had only 46% possession in the first half, compared to 72% in the second half…

Vardy is one of our greats, but I don’t see him as an automatic starter…

Vardy put our only decent cross of the game in. He's ****ing miles ahead of Daka. It's monstrous.

Vardy used to be miles ahead of Daka. Not any more sadly.

Wasn’t it Puel who brought him back from West Brom?

True but only a few weeks before he was sacked, no idea if he tried him as a striker.

just thinking yesterday What happened to Choudhury? Any answers?

He's at Watford on a season loan.

He got injured a couple of weeks ago, he'd been playing regularly until then.

I mean, he is. Miles. Scores against MK and then dumped out of the team. Daka stinks the place out against Newcastle and keeps his place.

Mental. Mental. Mental.

That Muzzy goal is one of my earliest and happiest memories of City.

Crazy seeing Gary Mac score a goal in the 80’s when I remember him playing for Liverpool in what feels like relatively modern times.

 

[homer]

Can we play the bench instead ?

Mental. Mental. Mental.

In the PL this season:

Vardy 1 goal in 786 mins
Daka 3 goals in 691 mins

I mean, both those stats are shite but you cannot say Vardy offers more of a goalscoring threat.

 

[popillius]

In the PL this season:

Vardy 1 goal in 786 mins
Daka 3 goals in 691 mins

And that stat in isolation is absolutely useless.

I'm not watching or following the game. I am drinking beer and pretending it isn't happening.

 

[Lako42]

Can we play the bench as well ?

We should at least ask

 

[Orifice]

I'm with you.

If not actually there with you, but with you. As it were.

 

[big_mac4824]

This referee is a buffoon

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

I'm doing the exact same. With my nan having a drink talking about the 1960s.

I'm not watching or following the game. I am drinking beer and pretending it isn't happening

 

[Graz]

Not sure why everyone is unsure about the formation?

Looks like a nailed on 4-3-3 to me
