Yup, he's repeatedly firing shots across their bows and not before time.

He may well be good for his age but far, far too many games simply pass him by.
Sanson already look more willing and able to play an active part in the game.
Nothing against the kid but no way should he be starting for us if the squad is where it should be.

Buendia is desperate to do well and is trying to do too much instead of keeping it simple and pick the right time for the unexpected. He will however be judged on his merits by SG and we have a few waiting in the wings for a go. Nice to see Iroegbunam making the bench. He has a bit of talent from watching the U23,s.

He started well but he fades badly in every game. We have three subs and we seem to need to save two for hooking him and Emi2 every game.

Liked how we had a plan at corners, clearly putting the keeper under pressure. Deep crosses and it worked. Great to see well organised pre thought out tactics.
Feel bad for Buendia, feel he could kick on with some extra confidence a goal would give him, cracking header from the penalty spot.
The whole build up to the liverpool game will be about Gerrards return, let the team preparation go under the radar and let's smash em !

I thought Chucky did well when he came on, lovely moment where he glided past that prick Maddison who had to hack him down and won us some precious seconds

It's great to see the towel and long throws have been sacked off though. Not a single one today

McPhee is a key part of our coaching set up. 2 goals from set pieces today.

Woeful first half from us . Up there with the worst of the season.
Absolutely brilliant 2nd half from us. Up there with the best of the season.
As i expected watching the game as it unfurled the divisive Buendia and Luiz filling many a post .
It think it’s fair to say that no one apart from Em1 covered themselves in glory first half . Buendia and Luiz firmly included in this. Has anyone mentioned Cash getting his arse handed to him for 45 mins by Barnes ?.
I think its fair to say second half everyone deserves plaudits 2nd half . No one can be picked out for criticism 2nd half in my humble . Terrific team application against a good side. Really sorted ourselves out.
Most important tactical tweak , and I’m not sure why SG didn’t do it earlier in the first half such was the obvious issue . But SJM dropped deeper on the right to help Cash and it worked magnificently bearing in mind how Barnes was tearing us one.
Forget the 2nd half Emi1 save from the header the first half right handed save from I think Maddison was world class . Such a strong arm.

He looks a far better player when he plays at that tempo instead of doing a poor mans Pogba impression. I expect that has been pointed out to him hopefully in no uncertain terms.
Can't see what he did wrong there to be honest

On 5live pre-match the reporter said todays match could be a match up between the future Liverpool (SG) and Manure (Rodgers) managers .
FUCK OFF.

My mate at work is a Leicester City fan so it will be great to be able to take the piss tomorrow morning. He did tell me that Leicester were vulnerable from set plays and that Soyuncu was a liability and so it proved. Can only think that Gerrard and his team also got the memo and exploited their weaknesses. Good to have a coaching team who do their homework on the opposition.

Just watched the SSN report. Apparently Leicester had chances to equalise second half. Cue them showing Leicester 2nd half chances but …erm….none of ours . Brilliant.

Yep. As was said yesterday. Set piece coach not just long throw coach and proving his worth. 7 goals in 15 games now.

So the Barnes header and.... That's about it. Whereas we had 2 missed Ollie chances, cash missing, 2 disallowed goals (both wrong) and Ramsey missing a sitter.
