It was going to be difficult with them, without them is a nightmare. But we said the same when we didn’t have DCL or Richy at Wolves - I hope Carlo can work his magic againnoooooo! The Leicester game will be difficult without Allan and Doucoure...
Doucoure is back for Newcastle, Iwobi back for Leicester so can drop James into the 10 role in the midfield 3 for both games so only one of Iceland, Skater Boi and Gomes will play
Yes it will, as it was at the King Power when we were missing Digne, James and Coleman and we came through it. They’re gonna be missing Vardy so it’s a question of shutting Barnes and Maddison downnoooooo! The Leicester game will be difficult without Allan and Doucoure...
Nothing frustrates me more than a Manager misleading the fans. 10 days ago he said he’d be back in 10 to 15 days. Now it’s another 14 days. I know Gbamin is a different type of case , but the talk was expect him back Christmas/January time. Now it looks like we will be lucky to see him till March. He will be lucky to see 5 prem games
Add in Allan will need to stay fit for the rest of the season when back, only to miss 1/3 of the season. So disappointing when we’re so weak in that area.
He's not deliberately misleading the fans. They probably did hope/expect to have Allan back in roughly two weeks but his recovery obviously has been slower than that.Nothing frustrates me more than a Manager misleading the fans. 10 days ago he said he’d be back in 10 to 15 days.

Leicester is the big worry as a midfield 3 of any 2 of Gomes/Gylfi/Davies and James has no physicality or defensive solidity about it whatsoever.
We should beat Newcastle but Leeds will be tough we couldn't get near them at Goodison its going to be watching Davies and Gomes chasing shadows as they pass it around us.
We knew this weeks ago though and nothing has been done to bring someone in to provide cover.
Leicester missing Vardy is a big plus for us. Hopefully it's Davies and Allan in midfield. I get the sense Davies will relish being up against Madisson
Allan is out mate - Maddison will show Davies up completely.
The problem is you can cope with one of Allan/Doucoure out but for me you cant deal with both - we saw how shocking our midfield was last season.
No pace
No grit
No solidity
No creativity
Get a loan in until the end of the season to cover Allan/Doucs - doesn't have to be a top player just someone who can get stuck in / put in a tackle.
he said he's not fit yet in the presser
