Lose this tomorrow and I think we are seriously sinking. Arsenal are losing so we will give them there bounce back win. Everton have to win tomorrow.

Mate, Arsenal will probably give you the 3 points. The players aren't even putting in performances for a clearly past it manager (Pick which team I'm talking about).

We'll get battered, regardless of Mahrez. You'd hope senior players would lead by example, they're trembling in bed right now.

Phil Jagielka is currently tying his slipper shoelaces while Ashley Williams is pulling his pyjama top over his head. Wayne is probably drink driving with some tart in Alderley Edge somewhere. Our captains.

It will be back to basics here I reckon. I can see a very limited gameplan with 2 deep banks.

Whatever it is, we need a win badly. Nervy already.

 

[WA Toffee]

We're still 9th.

And there was me reading this thread thinking we must about 10 points adrift at the bottom. Some people do need to get a grip

This.

People are so desperate for a left back that they're suggesting that anyone is better than Cuco Martina at this point which is simply not true.

Whether you rate him or not, the guy has spent his entire career plying his trade as a full back, which is why he's being utilised as one albeit on the opposite side he's used to. He's not being played there out of whimsy like many seem to be suggesting - he's a professional footballer playing under professional managers & coaches, they clearly see more than we do.

Obviously he isn't a long term answer in any way shape of form.... but to actually suggest that a 21 year old La Liga striker who hasn't even been given a game in ages 'wouldn't be any worse'? Haha, give over.

Yes, it was an entirety serious suggestion. As was the one about a chicken on a string, FFS. My point was we have other, better, professional full backs who could be given a shot there, but no, Martina or no one, according to the fat man (and a fair few GOT posters). Boggles the mind.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but we need to start Niasse tomorrow. I’d also have Calvert -Lewin on the bench and leave Tosun out, tomorrow’s game will just pass him by judging by his performances so far.

In Capt Jags, we have the type of leader who is second to nobody.

In NZ, Bein Sports are not showing our game live which has spared me the decision of whether to bother watching us get a leathering.
The PL table might assume a scary look after Arsenal do similar to us in the weekend.

Giggling at this.

Tosun will score overhead kick.

 

[FOXINPEACE]

Really think this Mahrez business has swung this back in your favour. 2-1 loss

Hope you're right, it's not as straight forward as that though, the whole situation could galvanise your squad into putting in a performance.

As I said, hope you're on the money, we badly need something from this.

I'd always have DCL on the bench to be honest.

We are [Poor language removed] awful but it is hilarious to see all of those cocky and deluded leicester tools over at foxestalk think they are some massive club. Without mahrez they are VERY average. mahrez is their best player by a mile. Can't wait for this nightmare season to end.
