[Need4speed]

Interesting we have not played well away since return

 

[Nade]

It's Nade, he fucked off to Greggs for the fifth time today to get his fill now lockdown's over.

Prefer Pret A Manger nowadays

 

[FriethBlade]

Fleck, Moose and Lunny on

 

[hull-Blade]

3 changes , no surprises there

 

[HeySethUTB]

Fleck, Mousset and Lunny, come on Blades!

 

[Blade58]

Not sure why Osborne is off?

 

[Freethinker]

Totally different 2nd half upcoming after a rollocking and we win 2-1

It would take a miracle from Cris to sort this out we look heavy legged and players blowing out of their arses some changes needed

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Whether he is or isn’t on the bench it’s not a very big fucking deal is it really?

Blimey. All I was doing was pointing out that the player you said was on the bench wasn’t on the bench. But I see where the confusion has happened – the insta account suggests he’s on rather than Zivkovic, whereas Twitter and the official site say he isn’t. Think I’ll go with my original suggestion that Luke Freeman isn’t on there – you’d have expected the accompanying text to have referenced his return otherwise.

Anyway, 3 changes imminent. Fleck, Mousset, Lundstram for McGoldrick, Berge, and harshly Osborn.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Moose is due 1 or 2

 

[HeySethUTB]

How many teams have we played that are “a strong team in the second half” FFS

Harshly Osborne he's been as crap as the rest

Harshly Osborne he's been as crap as the rest

Are you talking about Osborn? Thought he was the least poor of the three midfielders that half, and better than both wingbacks. But we all see the game differently.

you're probably right in that he was the least poor of a very poor midfield performance

 

[Yarrayering]

Lunny for Berge
Sharp for Mcburnie
Fleck for Osborne

Good shout

 

[HeySethUTB]

I’m normally an optimist but we really don’t look at it. Take a draw.

 

[FriethBlade]

Well second half has started like first one finished

 

[Kryten]

What is it with the first touches! Some of em sponsored by Cloggs tonight or what!

 

[HeySethUTB]

Why are we giving Vardy so much respect.

 

[The Hobott]

This is only going one way sadly

 

[FriethBlade]

Barnes is a player

 

[Geordie Blade]

Absolutely clear shove by O’Connell on Barnes there. That should be a VAR penalty. I’d be furious if it was the other way round.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Deano is earning his money toneet.

 

[FriethBlade]

Getting back into it...if I was a Leicester fan I'd be thinking we are going to get punished for all these chances we've missed

 

[Bobby b]

Looking a bit better, reminds a little of the Burnley game where they had a couple of chances to bury the game

 

[saw516]

Getting back into it...if I was a Leicester fan I'd be thinking we are going to get punished for all these chances we've missed

I’d be thinking this too if it wasn’t us, when do we punish teams for missed chances?

 

[HD8 Blades]

Much better. Just need a moment from someone

 

[Eza Blade]

We sometimes struggle with teams who match us with a 5 at back. We lack creativity when playing on front of teams

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Better

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

Moose is like a passenger ! His work rate isn’t good enough as it gives the defenders too much time !

 

[HeySethUTB]

Mcburnie has been brilliant of late, looks like all those ball busting runs have taken a toll on him, get freeman on in behind front 2. Might as well, only going to lose if it carries on like this.
