[PL] Leicester (H): Match Thread

[Buzzo]

Swap Firmino for Texiera.

Is Firmino playing?

[Chris]

Good half. It's a nice glimpse of the future Klopp team in a way, oppo just penned in their own half and only threatening on very rare occasions. But we dont have enough quality to take advantage at the moment. Been excellent defensively too so far. Hopefully we can find a goal then not **** ourselves immediately after scoring.

[Fosterbloke]

Lallana giving Benteke what-for.

So he should, he's not looking good because his teamates aren't moving.

[Fierce]

That was a good half from us. ****ing shame about Origi as he was causing them lots of problems and allowing Coutinho more space than an opposing team should allow someone like him

Benteke needs to put a shift in. I hope we don't revert to punting balls up for him to win. It might be what he thrives on, but it's to the detriment of our overall play

[SB]

Can't complain about the effort 1st half. Just need a striker who can capitalise on this possession. A shame Origi went off.

[kemm1]

Not a bad performance but we're missing Origi already.

[Maxiedge]

Our lack of cutting edge is disturbing

[Fosterbloke]

We'd be better off putting Sinclair on the bench.

[redmike65]

Whatever about no goals scored, none were conceded yet either so an improvement, plus the general style and pace is much better than in recent weeks.

Got to find the good stuff where one can!

[McDermotX]

Okish so far....lot to like when Origi was on the pitch, so bit of a blow for that to change. Couple dodgy moments at the back, especially with what might have been a peno and their headed chance, but have looked better as the game has gone on and Leicester have conceded the possession as they tend to do......Lovren probably lucky not to have a yellow.

Bit more quality from Moreno and Clyne from the sides will be required now, and as usual with Firmino, need to see more.

[Fosterbloke]

Lovren has been excellent so far.

[danperkins]

It's annoying that Clyne and Moreno have the pace and energy to get into these great positions in the wide areas but their delivery is piss poor. Firmino has been dreadful. Our midfield has been superb and apart from few dodgy moments our defence been ok.

[Fosterbloke]

I think Firmino needs a mini preseason with Sturridge..

[redmike65]

I'd bring on Lucas if its 0-0 or 0-1 at 70 mins and allow Henderson greater thrust in support.

[danperkins]

I'd bring on Lucas and allow Henderson greater thrust in support.

Great shout actually, much prefer Henderson higher up
