OTF

Townsend has had some bite. I can see. Rafa changing things up at the half here. Otherwise give Sissoko 10 minutes to show something or be pulled.

That was embarrassing, they practically fell over each other. The composure of CT at a buffet.

I don't think Shelvey has been any good. He is positionally poor defensively and hasn't offered anywhere near enough getting forward to make up for that.

We could have stayed up with no goals forwards if we didn't continuously concede with comically bad defending.

How many minutes until Steven Taylor gets chucked on up front?

Only Townsend has looked half decent for us. The rest look terrified. They deserve the lead.

And we're done.

Thought we were about to see the end of Colback there. If he was a good left back you'd have reason to leave him on. He's not, so get him off... For whoever.....

Not fit, not bothered, not good enough. So basically doesn't offer anything different to the rest of the side.

Janmaat you idiot, he's running away from noone.

Class chest down from Mitro if anyone was on the same length that is..

Love Ryan Taylor faking the jacket off to come take the kick.

Confidence still shot, we need a goal or two to put an end to our inability to score

Why did Sissoko even play that ball, he was sort of one on one when Perez had three defenders on him.

Lascelles thinking he was Bramble for a second there.

What was Mitro at there.... Geez... Last thing we need. Fucking Colback, if he could tackle he would easily have got that ball.

I can't help but feel that we're going to completely bottle this. The worst feasible outcome would be a loss, an injury and a suspension. That seems entirely possible. I can also see us being on the wrong end of refereeing decisions. I hope to fuck I'm wrong, but that's the mindset I'll unfortunately be going into this game with. For reference when we last played them this was our side. A poor decision and some unfavourable refereeing turned the match with Coloccini conceding a penalty to a very soft Fletcher tumble and being sent off for his trouble (at the end of the first half). Elliot; Janmaat, Mbemba, Coloccini, Dummett, Sissoko, Tiote, Colback, Wijnaldum, Perez, Mitrovic Subs: Woodman, Haidara, Lascelles, Anita, Thauvin, De Jong, Cisse I've spent a lot of time thinking about the best formation we could play for this game, this is what I've come up with. ---------------------Elliot--------------------- Janmaat---Taylor---Mbemba---Mbabu ---------Colback*-------Shelvey----------- --Townsend--------------------Sissoko---- ------------------Wijnaldum----------------- --------------MItrovic------------------------ Subs: Darlow, Perez, Lascelles, de Jong, Saivet, Doumbia, Aarons, Kluivert * - If Tiote is fit I'd start with him rather than Colback, though we know Colback will give his all in this match.

Still can't believe they've won the last six, that's atrocious. Such an important game, I really hope we have Mbemba back.

Yeah, I enjoyed the second a lot more than the first.

Every Dead Thing by John Connolly, enjoying it so far, reading it sporadically.

Well Anorthernsoul, you've just taken responsibility for the most important game of the decade, don't fuck it up.

Yeah, let's take no encouragement from travelling to the league leaders and losing to a dubious goal and missing out on a clear penalty. That would be silly

Good positioning from Taylor there.

Man Vardy is a diver. Missed the handball there

Lovely between Perez and Sissoko. Sissoko had the right idea with his pass but in feigning to shoot he didn't know where our players were.
