Leicester City (A) - Sat 29th Oct, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Haaland had a few injuries last season, he’s looked super fit this season but a bit jaded in the last couple of games. Hopefully just a knock. Still fancy us to win but won’t be easy.

NBC: Pep says Haaland is ankle ligaments, not a “knock.”

I really want to see a good defence today. No misstakes and solid performances! Forward I have trust in our players to performe. Come on City

Chris Kavanagh on VAR, he was involved in the VAR decision not to award a penalty when the ball hit Rodri’s arm v Everton last season. Let’s hope he doesn’t feel the need to make up for that after Ref’s chief, snivelling shit Riley apologised to Everton for the decision.

Box will get switched on at 12:30 not a second before.

No BT or streams?

Nothing but a blank screen with a timer and saying it will take ten mins to organise something

Finished , i am in !

Judging from a lot of posts Jack needs to grab a hat trick or he’ll be classed as a failure!! Haha!

Re the keepers distribution.
We're you at the game or watched it on a screen ?
I ask because the away team played one to one marking across the whole pitch. There was no one free to play the easy pass. I haven't seen an away team do this at the Etihad for years. That is why Ederson had the ball at his feet for a long time before delivery.
I don't want to sound too patronising but I fail to see how one could not see the issue, unless it was difficult to see on a screen.
The ball for the first goal came from the movement of Haaland orchestrated by Pep and perfected by Ederson.
Shame some miss the intricacies.

Fair point....watched it on TV where you don't fully appreciate the tactics.

Surely it wouldn't harm to have Borges on the bench for a game like this.

Yep but we know Pep he ain’t doing that and the lad has just scored
