Confident now see this line up.

Welcome back Sergio!

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Interesting line-up.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Sergio being back adds a bit of excitement, I hope he's kept his finishing boots as I'm sick of the others wasting chances.

 

[PragueBlue]

I assume Laporte is injured or sick. Hadn't heard anything about that.

Disappointing to see Mahrez still getting picked. He's a very good player but our pressing game goes to pot a bit with him in the side. Still looking at the bench, perhaps not too many choices.

 

[willipp]

Ffs, players not even on international duty end up injured.

 

[Centurions]

Well at least Kun's back...

 

[deano ou812]

Ffs don’t tell me Laporte is injured not even amongst subs,saying that decent line up bar I’d have switched Torres for mahrez ..

 

[razman]

No mention of Laporte injury yesterday

 

[CC1]

Our players really fucking get injured in mysterious ways.

The medical staff really need to get a grip quickly.

Nothing to do with the medical staff. They’re involved AFTER the injury is sustained.

Eric is maybe feelig the effects of covid , gundy said he felt very aching and tired when he had it

 

[Cityinmud]

What happened to laporte?

Wtf, injured or sick, obviously.
Mahrez shouldn’t be picked but he’s good and looking at the bench it’s right.
that’s a post of nothing mate.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Apart from Laporte missing and Mahrez starting,very happy.

 

[Mr HJ]

Good to see Bernardo in the starting lineup - I'm not a fan but Mahrez has to step up today - I don't want to see a preening performance from him - without Kev he must work harder, commit to taking players on and find a teammate in a better position. I really hope he can do that and begin to change my opinion of him. We need a win.

 

[Jamiblue]

Wtf where’s Laporte

Mate, if half of our squad overall has been injured already, do you think its just bad luck?

 

[domalino]

Eric is maybe feelig the effects of covid , gundy said he felt very aching and tired when he had it

So the theory is that he recovered well enough to play 2 games in a row and look great, but after a fortnight of rest he now can't play?

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Not much attacking option on the bench should we require

I assume it’d be torres for Mahrez?
