don’t worry we’ve still got: Leicester competed passes: 87 Trippier completed passes: 110

Isak needs to be getting into the box more when we have the ball in crossing positions on the right. He’s the only height we have but he seems to be staying out wide

one of those one-twos is gonna come off at some point

Trippier coaching

Need to stop playing crosses from deep. Completely ineffective against a low block like this. Need to get to the byline and cut it back instead.

he makes it look like he’s about to fall over and then just ghosts past them. It’s so fun to watch

Anderson’s been a little unlucky. Keeps getting into great positions though.

brainless tackle. Clear red.

Big Jo / Isak left hand side masterclass incoming

am finding this way too funny

I'm up to a 4, I reckon

just had the lady who played Ada Shelby in Peaky Blinders in my shop and Villa scored. Feel like this is a sign we are getting gifts from Birmingham today.

David Brooks starting for Bournemouth. Good for him.

Wilson can go on for another few years yet if he works hard and stays professional. He's been back to his best physically recently and looked as quick as he's ever done on Thursday imo. Really pleased he's managed to play 34 games this season too - only really missed a month at the beginning of the season and then a week or so for covid before the WC. edit: honestly if we get some really quality additions in the summer he's the type of player who could hit a 30+ goal season if he stays fit and in the team.

I'm in

good thread on some Eddie genius last night

only change I’d have made a bit earlier was ASM for Isak as I thought the latter was blowing a bit and his defensive work was understandably suffering. As it were he stayed on and supplied the pass for the 4th so…

of first team quality players aye, but we are still using all 25 league registration slots and I'm not sure Krafth is even registered as one of those. There are still a lot of players in the squad to move on if we want to sign additions.

I like scousers. Thought the YNWA during the Atsu applause was a nice touch as well tbh. The song is about solidarity, it's not "making it all about them". I think if you're getting mad at that it's probably because you didn't like them in the first place.

we probably don't have to sell many who've actually featured for us tbh. I wouldn't want us selling Murphy at all yet, he's class. Dubravka, Lewis, Fraser and at least one of Krafth/Manquillo as certs to leave. That's 4, maybe 5 spaces freed up already. I think Targett will probably be off as well. Especially if we sign another left back. I wouldn't be surprised if we kept hold of Dummett but didn't register him for the league and had him as a club homegrown option in Europe. Ritchie but he will probably want to go and play somewhere. But that's 7 registration slots freed up. We aren't going to be singing more than that I don't think.

maybe I need to watch it again but I thought he was trying to play Undav offside. He probably should've seen Burn playing him on, like.

I would still really like Maddison despite his recent drop off. Howe will rejuvenate him and he'll be good for > 1 g/a per game for us. If he gets those numbers in a diabolical Leicester team then he can surely do even better for us.

yeah, both CBs were following their striker into midfield. I think Howe looked at how Man Utd stopped them for inspiration, but obviously added some top pressing into the mix too. Their goal came from us leaving a big gap there but it worked for the rest of the night, and if Burn was in line with Schar it wouldn’t have happened anyway.

huh?

no it isn’t, it’s 100% Caicedo / #25. He’s already past Estupinian. here’s another frame with his shirt number before he falls flat on his arse, bro
