Leicester (H) - 26/04/25: Build Up & Match Thread

[Lupo]

Sa and Doc back in. No Johnstone!

 

[The Bear]

We've just won 5 in a row.

And the 1-0 win last time out was a generally poor performance and largely attritional stuff, after a good 4-2 win the week before.

 

[sycophantia]

Bit disappointed he hasn't changed it up in a couple of positions, hopefully he'll give a few of the others some decent minutes.

 

[Jinky]

No Lima or Doyle on the bench.

 

[leedswolf]

Yeah... all that and only 1 goal when Leicester had previously been shipping them in.

Hardly a 'struggle' though...

 

[leedswolf]

Did you watch the game? Or simply going off stats?

I watched the game and Liverpool didn't struggle against Leicester...

 

[The Bear]

Coady starting alongside Faes for them.

All about opinion. Took the all conquering Scousers 76 mins to take the lead. I'd suggest it was a struggle to score given that's how long it took and they didn't get a second. At a minimum, Leicester put up more of a fight in that game than they have done previously. Maybe they knew they had to raise their game or maybe it was the consequence of not winning but IMO, Liverpool did not find it an easy game.

A struggle to score is different to 'they struggled"...

You have your opinion and I have mine. Enjoy today's game.

 

[big mean bunny]

For me a cross isn't a pass, but I can't come up with a coherent reason why

Sorry late to this but enjoyed this topic. But with Tony on this. As a coach a player can put in a 'brilliant' cross from a technical point of view but that leads to nothing. So by that I mean good technique, right amount of power, placement, difficult for the keeper to deal with. Statistically it would count as failed because an attacker didn't get onto it or it was defended.

Where as passing is different and less arbitrary and open to interruption on its merit.

I suspect that all signs seem to point to some sort of mental health issues at this point. That's why it's slightly uncomfortable when everyone starts putting the boot in without fully understanding what's going on.

Or he's just an over entitled, ego centric twat?

No-one will ever know the full impact playing for WBA can have on a soul.

I’m certainly not one to make light of this sort of stuff, but to me, it just stinks of a player who’s thrown his toys out of the pram.

Vítor’s already made it clear he won’t include players who aren’t in it for the group/team - like Guedes last week.

 

[Jinky]

Selfish fucker, Cunha. Needed to slide Semedo in there. Or JSL.

 

[Squeak]

Larsen not started this too well.... ball bouncing off him and careless passes...

 

[Mel Evo]

First peregrine of the season just did a lap of the ground

 

[Squeak]

Toti...what are you doing?

 

[Jinky]

That’s poor from the referee. Shoulder to shoulder Toti just stronger and he gets booked.
