Twitter foaming at the gash for Bruno to have been sent off. Yet was it any worse than this?

Both were yellows. Neither were dangerous at all.

Leicester desperately need points yet they set up like this, weird decision by smith.

As has been said. They’ll keep it tight for another 15 and unleash Barnes and Maddison shirley?

[jackyboy]

Burn offers nothing. He can't control the ball, has no vision and never gets past iIsak or Armstrong

0-0 still gets us CL. It’s not a fun but it’s all that’s needed. 

 

Would be somewhat of a miracle if Leicester stop us scoring tonight. 

[buzza]

Ref is doing my head in, apart from bruno’s tackle. Seems like he gives them everything and us nothing

[Andy84]

Missing Joeys physical presence for sure 

[RodneyCisse]

Feel like Targett naturally overlapping Isak would be lush.

When you see it in real time it's nothing, slow mo makes it look terrible.

It's a strange mix of satisfying watching us dominate because I'm still not totally used to it, but also annoying that we've not turned it in to a lead.

 

These are the games that will be unlocked with a bit more investment. This team wasn't made for teams parking the bus just yet.

 

If we don't get a clean sheet out of this..

agreed - nearly every team whose parked the bus have got a point to show for it, Leeds did it, palace did it and these on track to.

 

 As long as we keep a clean sheet it doesn’t matter.

[OoOGazOoO]

83% possession is hilarious!

[Turnbull2000]

Gonna start sweating a bit it this is still 0-0 at 60 minutes. Can see Leicester catching us out with a surprise goal, then parking the bus again.

[Decky]

I know 0-0 does us but fuck that, any time Leicester have the ball after 80 minutes I'll be shitting myself. Hopefully we get a goal in the first 20 mins of the second half because we'll score more.

Had to giggle when he managed to miscontrol to the point of orbiting the ball with absolutely no pressure on him.

Then we unleash ASM?

Missing his ability to drive into the box too.

Would be interesting to see how we play if it is still 0-0 75-80 mins, given how massive a point would be. 

 

My heart rate really hopes I don't have to find out. 

[Miggys First Goal]

I got anxiety whenever Burn gets the ball. He can’t control it half the time. 

[Sempiternal]

Big fan of the tactical foul 

[STM]

I'd swap Anderson for Maxi and shift Isak number 10.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

Neville fucking talking about dark arts and European influence. His Fergie side were monumental cunts for professional fouls, surrounding the ref and general shithousery. The trailblazers in the English Leagues. Shut the fuck up. 

[Alberto2005]

We need ASM in a game like this.

If you don’t think that’s a dangerous tackle, I now know why they call you ‘the Butcher’ - is your surname ‘of Bilbao’?  

[Billy Warthog]

Did I hear earlier that the Sky presenter is a mackem? 

[buzza]

We need to come out of the blocks absolutely fizzin!

Would also bring on maxi or gordon for anderson
