Leicester's defense has been more of an issue than their attack, as they almost always score goals but almost always concedes as well. They have had their starting defenders Evans (surgery), Fofana (broken leg), Justin (ACL), Castagne (surgery) and Ricardo (surgery) out for the greater part of...

But even discounting AFCON absentees, they still wouldn't have the requisite 13 players.

The PL apparently requires a minimum of 13 first-teamers. U21/youth teams players are not regarded as first-teamers (unless they've been playing PL games).

You still need a minimum of 13 first-teamers available. If you subtract 14 from 25 (rightfully discounting the AFCON absentees), it falls short.

On the basis of quick 'research'... Of the 25 players registered by Leicester for the PL season, 12 are injured, 2 Covid cases and 3 at AFCON (only 3 of the 4 at AFCON are registered for the PL season). That's left them with 8 PL-registered players available. Even if the AFCON absentees are...

They only had 8 first-team players available for yesterday's cup game against Watford. I don't know if they lost any yesterday, but they clearly did not the PL's apparently requisite 13 first-teamers available.

You can only register 25 for the PL season

Top man! People are whining as if the only way we could possibly beat Leicester is to have them field a severely-depleted side. Never thought I would live to see the day.

Even with blue-tinted glasses on, I think the league would argue that games have more "integrity" when played with enough first-team players to actually form a side. Leicester has 8 first-teamers available.

Not much comfort, but at least Rondon didn't cost 30 million lol

You should be paying more attention to the second line than the first. Yes, Iwobi has been consistently gash but so has a long list of others. That says pattern!

Iwobi was poor, but not remotely the reason we lost today. The dearth in quality ran through virtually the entire team - all the way to the sidelines (and boardroom)!

Poor, but no where near the reason we so completely collapsed ?

It's extra time before PKs.

Bugger! Extra time will knacker us out.

Extra time :mad:

Bugger! :(
