This still going ahead?

Half our fan base don’t even know who luke garbutt is

Most probably thinks he is some random fella from love island

The confidence he wanted was if the game would go ahead not at all the result .For the record I hope we win but it is Leicester.

Thing is now it's more like a neutral ground,without a crowd.

You're both right really. Calvert Lewin always did enough to get game time. You can see why managers liked him, because he was a big strong lad and a willing runner. He was fortunate though, that he broke into the team under managers who liked to play more direct and in a summer where we failed to sign a centre forward. We've been up and down for 2-3 years and that has given him exposure.

I mean there are still big holes in the squad where if a young player was given a chance they could make it their own. However the hope will be thats not always there. Thats not to be cruel, but the hope is, we quickly become a top 6 team where we start to get more consistency from the players.

Gordon has done very well though. I'm not sure why he was dropped post Liverpool but it could just be that Ancleotti wanted his defensive running against Liverpool. While I don't think it was all down to Gordon, Arnold didn't create a single chance in open play in that game. I think having someone with such an athletic build, back in shape probably curtailed Arnold a bit.

Where we are as a club now though, we won't get away with passengers, so it's good Gordon can be relied upon without the ball.

....and to be fair, DCL didn’t have much competition when he broke through.

Thats it. If Costa is signed, he probably doesn't get the games he does. We have no idea what impact it may have had, but its unlikely to be positive.

.....there can be so much luck involved but ultimately, these lads must grasp their opportunity when it arises.

Doubt he would swap Keane after last game mate.

Would be harsh to drop Keane, Imagine he'll be a 20 minute run out sub.

Reckon he will throw Gordon back into the mix over Bernard though.

It would be harsh yes but I think it's possible Carlo would prefer Mina to Keane, to counter the threat of Vardy.

Gordon definitely another possibilty, would love to see him going up against Chilwell, I think he'd back himself against him. As good as Chilwell is I don't think he's the strongest 1 on 1 defender.

Is he not?

 

[Seathestars]

I’m not sure I’d want to play against this lot after their City being ordered in to lockdown

There was a race horse meeting today in Leicester and a few trainers withdrew all their runners, who can blame them

DCL had to work a lot harder to win the fans round than Keane ever will.

The code the club send out, if you already have sky can you pass it to a mate?

 

[Billy Dean]

This still going ahead?

Yes. LCFC are gonna drive up to Barnard Castle tomorrow night to test their fitness and stop at Goodison on the way for a quick game.

....very good point, and it still might be the case with many.

 

[blueconverse]

Hope we see Beni this season. Looked solid in the few matches he got a go.

James Maddison now a doubt for upcoming Everton clash

The midfielder missed Leicester City's clash with Chelsea in the FA Cup through injury.

Rodgers says he's doubtful for Wednesday after needing an injection in his banged-up hip.

That would leave a midfield of Ndidi, Tielemans, and Praet.

Even our sorry midfield can get through that.

Vardy looks poor.

2-0.

Ndidi and Tielemans are brilliant though?
