As much as I liked Shaq, he will retire with a mightily impressive medal cabinet, without ever being anything more than a bit part player.

giveitholly · 09-02-2022 9:20pm

With a doubt over hendo's fitness for tomorrow night I wonder could we see a midfield of Fab,thiago and Elliot?

Agent Coulson · 09-02-2022 9:24pm

I hope Elliott and Salah can find the chemistry they were having before Elliott's injury.

09-02-2022 9:44pm

Phil ripping Leeds to shreds.

Vicxas · 09-02-2022 9:45pm

Coutinho has been a revelation for Villa

Charlie19 · 09-02-2022 9:45pm

2 assists and a goal for Coutinho in a first half display for Villa.

09-02-2022 9:48pm

Cracking match.

Delighted things are going well for him.

theoneeyedman · 09-02-2022 10:23pm

Sign how bananas a club Barca are when thay couldn't get a tune out of him.

BorneTobyWilde · 09-02-2022 10:49pm

Emile Smith Rowe has a Gerrard vibe to him, and see's himself in central midfield going forward. We do need a new Gerrard, a new Henderson. Something about him that is Gerrard like.

Fitz* · 10-02-2022 11:26am

I think Leicester will try to shut up shop again tonight and play on the break. I think it's a game for the technical players to start in.

Henderson is a doubt too. No Mane & I think Salah should be rested.

I'd go with something like this

Alisson

Trent Matip VVD Robbo

Thiago Fabinho Keita

X Bobby Jota

It's that RW slot I'm unsure about. Is Diaz ready to start? Switch Jota over to RW.

yourdeadwright · 10-02-2022 12:00pm

Are Leicester missing anyone or are they back to full strength

Fitz* · 10-02-2022 12:08pm

Sounds like the Leicester team will be

Kasper, Justin, Amartey, Ndidi, Thomas, KDH, Soumare, Maddison, Albrighton, Daka, Lookman

theoneeyedman · 10-02-2022 12:12pm

I agree, ball retention will be important. Is Ox back tonight, we could see Mo back and let him get it out of his system and pull him after an hour. Problem with that is he just hates coming off, he'll have a sulky ould puss on him if he's taken off 😂

Fitz* · 10-02-2022 12:33pm

Oh yes, forgot about Ox. He was in fine goalscoring form too before the mini break. I know he had COVID in-between so it's hard to know what sort of shape he is in.

BorneTobyWilde · 10-02-2022 3:14pm

Salah will want to play, but for his own reasons, but the Golden Boob race is one he is leading easily, so no need to start him. We have enough cover to see how game plays out, bring him on if needed, but would like to put this game to bed in first half, and rest Salah until the weekend.

Golden boob?

passatman86 · 10-02-2022 3:58pm

Very telling predictive text there toby ha ha

Widdensushi · 10-02-2022 4:29pm

He's not in the running, thankfully he won't have to swear on his children's life that he touched a football he was no where near.

citytillidie · 10-02-2022 4:38pm

He is 6 clear at the moment

BorneTobyWilde · 10-02-2022 6:46pm

No chance he'll be caught, going for the hat trick of awards. Terry Henry leads the pack, with a total of 4. Something for Salah to aim for

Fitz* · 10-02-2022 7:35pm

No Salah in the starting line up.

Which I think is the correct call.

Infoseeker1975 · 10-02-2022 7:45pm

Jones in midfield with Fab & Thiago, Diaz starting

.G. · 10-02-2022 7:50pm

Our squad depth suddenly looks very healthy. If, big if, they all stay fit we can a have a right go at four trophies this season.

martingriff · 10-02-2022 7:50pm

Nice to see Diaz starting and Elliott is being eased back in surprise Salah is on the bench though himself and Mane be given until Sunday

Infoseeker1975 · 10-02-2022 7:51pm

Not a huge fan of Jones, all very relaxed on & off the ball, does not press as aggressively as others, obviously has lots of talent. Even though Keita has had a stop stop start stop career with us, he is a top player and if Atkinson had given the blatant penalty to him v Leicester at home a few seasons back when we lost the league by a point, then Klopp might have had 2 titles.

Great to see Diaz starting as usually Klopp introduces players really slowly so must be impressive in training.

Think if the crowd are really up for this and we get an early goal, we will win easily - going for 4-0 and fingers crossed the start of a great run till the next international break in March.

Damien360 · 10-02-2022 7:51pm

Is the game on tv anywhere?

Full lineup anyway is;

Bench really is looking so strong these days, and that's without Hendo, Gomez, Mane, and Divock in the squad too!

For Jones, I think a huge amount of his performances come down to who's sharing midfield with him. He's not great if given too much proper centre midfield duty, but always find him better with Thiago in the team giving him more license to make runs and move around creating space for others.

Very strong team. Very strong bench. Cmon the mighty reds.

Fitz* · 10-02-2022 8:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118609806#Comment_118609806

That's the Leicester team confirmed

10-02-2022 8:29pm

Two games in hand on Man City, win them both and we're only six points behind.

I think we'll win well tonight.

Fitz* · 10-02-2022 8:31pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118612376#Comment_118612376

I don't care as long as it's a win. Keep that momentum going and see where we are in a few weeks in terms of gap to the top. The players have to make amends for that bad result at Christmas time against Leicester

ShamoBuc · 10-02-2022 8:33pm

I'm feeling strangely confident of a convincing win tonight.

martyos121 · 10-02-2022 8:37pm

I’ve a very good feeling about the match tonight as well, glad to see so much shared optimism here for a change.

Cue the 0-1 defeat.

augustus gloop · 10-02-2022 8:51pm

Fab looks well up for it tonight. Diaz involved early

BorneTobyWilde · 10-02-2022 8:52pm

Maddison posing for a photo

Fitz* · 10-02-2022 9:00pm

Diaz looking lively so far

citytillidie · 10-02-2022 9:01pm

That is a high foot should have been the other way

Agent Coulson · 10-02-2022 9:02pm

Bobby and Diaz seem to be on the same wavelength

Vicxas · 10-02-2022 9:11pm

Jones is not having a great game

Agent Coulson · 10-02-2022 9:12pm

Robbo knocked himself out hitting the post.

Edit no he hit his back not his head luckily.

machiavellianme · 10-02-2022 9:12pm

Sore one for Robbo

BorneTobyWilde · 10-02-2022 9:12pm

Hit the post, getting closer .

Fitz* · 10-02-2022 9:13pm

That looks a sore one for Robbo

Infoseeker1975 · 10-02-2022 9:14pm

Think our bench will do the trick after the hour mark with Elliott on for Jones & also Salah for Firmino to allow Jota move to the centre

~Rebel~ · 10-02-2022 9:15pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118612618#Comment_118612618

Been fine I think... one poor pass, but otherwise picking up plenty of ball and keeping things moving around the edge of their box. Some lovely dribbling to get out of trouble and recycle possession.

On Diaz, he's almost working too hard, getting back into Robbo's area more than he needs. I'd say he's just full of adrenaline to impress.

machiavellianme · 10-02-2022 9:15pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118612628#Comment_118612628

The player hitting the post doesn't count Toby

yourdeadwright · 10-02-2022 9:16pm

We've been very disjointed

Hota on the right doesn't work, Jones isnt good enough
