    We can't use Maddison as an impact sub. He'll be heading out the club if that is going to be his role. He's our most creative player and needs to play with Tielemanns and Praet and just behind Vardy. But I'd agree he does spend too much time on the deck. He's not alone there, but the most embarrassing one yesterday was by a Liverpool player. I can't recall who it was, but he went down like a sack of spuds when there was the slightest tap on the shoulder. Embarrassing.

    Justin got booked for a clean tackle ... Mendy was deservedly booked for his ... but the next tackle on Maddison was as bad as the Mendy one but the ref stopped short of booking the 'Pool lad ... consistency please ...

    Agree with all of the above. Shambles and I'm just going to pretend yesterday didn't happen and look forward to Braga and Fulham. The latter being an absolute must win in my house!

    Have seen these photos numerous times in the last few days but dont know where they come from. Has someone just got creative with photoshop or is there something official behind them?

    A couple of people, who seem well informed have been sharing pictures of the new training ground on other forums and recently shared a similar image and an update that we'll be commencing the stadium expansion at the end of the season.

    Whether or not this is exactly the design, going on the training ground I'm expecting whatever is built to be impressive. The training ground is magnificent and I can't imagine Top having any less ambitious plans for the stadium.

    Rodgers has had an absolute shocker with this team/tactics, but for Kasper we’d be dead and buried by now...

    Not sure about being level. I’m not sure what Albrighton brings anymore, he’ll always be a title winning legend but he’s so horribly out of his depth at the moment. Just as bad this half, need Vardy and Maddison on

    Only thing Albrighton did all night of note was that last wonderful cross <laugh> ... Fofana showed his naivete a couple of times and it very nearly cost us ... Kasper won't be happy at conceding the third like that at his near post ... but cometh the hour cometh the man ... credit to Madders too ... played big parts in second and third <cheers>

    Agree with all, always pleased to eat my words re Albrighton. That’s the kind of cross we need, he has always had a good delivery but often more suited to a big target man but it was a great ball.
    Fofana disappointing with his efforts for the goal but he’s still had a good start.
    Definitely improved as an attacking outfit second half after the changes but poor defensively again. Casagne and Ricardo back makes a big difference in this area though.

    We all know how good the club has been in the transfer market but to be top of their group while having a starting line up with three academy graduates is outstanding. It may not have been our first choice line up but I just think it shows how far we have come as a club. Add in Chilwell and it shows how good our player development has been in the last few years. Dewsbury-Hall could be the next one to join them the way he is going. Good times.
