Isak playing and that almost certainly goes in

Whether it’s ASM fully fit, Isak or another winger we need more potency down the left especially at home against teams playing like Leeds did.

Results like this highlight where we need to improve and we will?

Was that aimed at me? Lol I haven’t said everyone, I said some of the fan base will massively over react. Ofcourse it’s normal to be disappointed

Spot on, the over thinking, panic and fume this result will cause some of the fan base will be ridiculous. Massive perspective needed ffs

Isak will help against teams playing a low block but yes agree totally ?

I think it shows we need another clinical finisher from midfield.

We do definitely need a Maddison type of player because teams are going to do this. That said we created enough chances just couldn’t finish.

We created enough chances, we just couldn’t hit a barn door. I don’t think there was anything tactically that went terribly wrong.

Had a stinker but the abuse he’ll get will be a disgrace. Also highlights where we need to strengthen.

Frustrating but you miss that many chances you’re never going to win ffs. Maybe it highlights that we need more firepower in the final 3rd, better goal scorers. We should’ve easily scored at least 2 there. The bedwetters will be out in force today though ?

West Ham, dear oh dear

Foxes have played well but totally shot themselves in the the foot ffs

Yeah I almost feel that Isak, Wilson and Miggy could be our most effective front 3. Isak would probably press better than ASM but is also quick, very direct and scores goals. We haven’t really seen a proper genuine threat on the left to compliment Miggy yet other than ASM’s odd performance pre injury.

Rodgers just said Maddison has had positive news on his knee and is to be back training soon

Yeah I can see him scoring from open play tomorrow, he looks much more confident currently.

It looks like City have stolen a march on us for him.

I really don’t think it’s that complicated. He’s had a new long term injury which has involved re-injury and therefore extra caution needed. To get him to the point to be involved in high speed full training has clearly taken time. I’m glad they’re handling it like this rather than rush him back ffs

Exactly this. If Howe speaks to him and says I want you to help spearhead champs like qualification etc

I agree Fulham game looks more realistic or even Palace. He may get a cameo sub appearance in one of the cup games but only if they think he’s ready.

Hope reporting Howe says Isak very close to returning to full training and hopeful he’s back next month.

I reckon Sheff Wed, Leicester Cup or Fulham. Hopefully we’ll here something positive today that he’s been able to train with the group and you’d imagine they’d want a couple of weeks of that before he returns.

Yeah i think he’ll take our attack to another level. He can take people on, he’s direct, he presses and he’s quick as fuck. Opposite Miggy on the other side and linking up with Wilson is an exciting prospect because it’ll pull teams all over the place.

I think we’ll go for a more attacking fullback to bolster the left side attack.

Maybe start Wood and give Wilson a run out for 25 mins or so then start him v Arsenal. He may be fine to start both though.
