Saturday 1st September - Leicester 1-2 Liverpool

[Burning Gold]

It's an early kick off, our front 3 haven't really got up to speed yet, and we typically don't do well against Puel sides anyway. It'll be drab. 0-0 for me.

[Marc]

Yeah without Vardy I don't see how Leicester win this. Even more so without a striker, Nacho should be starting.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Should have scored there...

[Inverted]

Andy Robertson Ballon d’Or I can feel it

[Dr. Gonzo]

Mane after great work (and piss poor defending from Leicester) from Robertson.

Yes Bobby 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Bobby’s first of the season. Excellent marking from Madison there  - Leicester have done themselves dirty here. 2 massive defensive lapses & 2 goals conceded.

[LFCMike]

Great first 20 minutes or so but we let Leicester back into it too much for my liking. Great timing with the second though.

[Danny]

Liverpool fortunate to be 2-0 up but never looked like conceding, but then Liverpool should have had a peno.

Leicester look great in possession but when it comes to attacking the goal they look scared, same against Man Utd. Passing suddenly becomes more erratic, possession lost, random shots taken with no real chance of scoring. This Leicester team could be very good but bottling it going forward against the big sides won't do them any favours. Everything up until getting to the area when in possession is generally spot on.

With that said Liverpool's defence has forced a lot of errors etc.

Ben Chillwell looks class.

 

[Rick]

Ghezzal with a little shoulder barge into milners head there. 

[Danny]

Liverpool love a shit goalkeeper haha

[Rick]

Allison, mate....

 

This looks like the Liverpool of old in this second half, flimsy looking.

He clearly thought the prem was a piece of piss trying a Cruyff turn there  absolutely mental to try that

[Danny]

Maddison clearly is a very good footballer and will become one for Leicester but has been very gash at times in terms of not adapting to the quality/pace of the division.

[Harry]

Fuck sake Alisson.

I read him say about the chip he done the other day that it was a calculated risk...yeah sure mate 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Wtf is the physio coming on for there? What’s he going to do, rub Chilwell’s balls?

[Rick]

We've been really shite second half.

Playing shit is inevitable throughout a season, the trick is still getting the win despite that 

[Dr. Gonzo]

That was probably our worst perform so far. 12 points from 12, good stuff.

[Rick]

And we have scraped through. Leicester did very well, chuffed we held on and now have 4/4 wins. 

[LFCMadLad]

Get in!

For 20 minutes we were great, the other 70 we were terrible. 

3 points is 3 points though and 4 wins out of 4 with only 1 goal conceded (that through a goalkeeper error) is as much as we could ask for. 

[Burning Gold]

Pleased with the result, but how often can we play the 'played poorly but won' card? Hopefully we get a look at Fabinho after the international break.

Not bothered about the Alisson goal. It was always going to happen at some point so I'm just pleased it hasn't cost us points. What matters now is that he learns from it and picks his moments better.

[LFCMike]

Terrible second half that. Leicester ran out of steam at about 70 minutes though so the last 20 was a breeze. A win is a win
