congrats foxy - you must be exhausted as well !
No babies here thankfully, that's a level of disruption to life I'm avoiding
Any trophy win is welcome. Helps build and sustain that winning mentality and shows players Leicester is a club where you can win things. It may only be a friendly and charity raiser but you have to win something previously to be in it so its still an important trophy in my opinion. Everyone played well and we didnt look any weaker with all the changes so we are getting good depth. I do wish Armartey would wear a size smaller shorts though 
I thought Amartey had a half decent game, and I think we have an absolute steal in Bertrand great game from him!
Daka looks really quick and think he is going to terrify some prem defences this season.
Soumare looks as though he isn’t going to take any prisoners and the way he rode through their midfield after winning about 6 tackles was amazing, if we can get backup for central defence then we could have another great season.

Well game one done and three points in the bag. Thought we looked seriously underdone and other than Vardys brilliant finish no where near clinical enough. We were also fortunate Traore has no end product as we will be punished by more clinical sides. Thought Thomas was outstanding, Armartey and even Vestergaard not so good.
A bit harsh on Amartey. Yes, he made a couple of mistakes, but he also made 2 or 3 incredible blocks when we were desperately defending.
Lucky to get 3 points, but I’m sure we will come away from games with nothing when we deserved something from it.

All I’ve heard from all the Wolves fans round here is how unlucky they were, how much better they were and how poor we looked. They’re unbelievable. I’ve tried pointing out it was pretty even but ultimately we’ve got a better striker. That was met with derision!
They were lucky to still be in it at half time ... we rode our luck for sure ... but mainly because Brenda seemed to take the view that we would hold on to what we had ... always makes me nervous, that approach... but ultimately Brenda was proven correct, we have 3 points and Wolves have none ... but they do get an honourable mention in dispatches for having caused us some uncomfortable moments... good for them
What a load of crap that was. I know we have problems in defence but they just rolled over and let West Ham run riot. The need to get a proper right winger couldn’t have been clearer, Perez is just a waste of a player out wide and Maddison brought absolutely nothing. Utter sh!te.
The one positive is that Perez is now out for a game or three so we will see what Rodgers plans for Praet are. Defensively we are obviously stretched. Thought Armartey actually played well and you have to give Antonio credit for the was he played. Cags certainly didnt have a good game and probably misses that organizer in the middle. Youri scored but also got bustled off the ball a few times. All round a poor display and while there was plenty of time left at the sending off we were already looking second best.
It is difficult to know whether we would have improved in the game if we had kept 11 players on the pitch. Up until that point we had played some very pretty passing that had led to nothing, but lacked any type of fight or determination when we lost the ball. I have to agree with NZ about Perez. How he keeps getting selected is beyond me. And that continuous faffing around at the back is getting beyond ridiculous.
With our backs to the wall throughout the match we needed all 10 players to step up, but none - apart from maybe Ricardo - did. Maddison spent all his time sitting on his backside appealing for a foul every time he got tackled. Someone has to remind Barnes that he must get goalside of his opponent if he wants to actually make a challenge and defend. Standing by the side or just in front of him means he's pretending.
I can't see Rodgers bringing Praet back for Perez. The poor chap can't have played more than a few minutes over the last year. And do we persevere with Maddison?
It's early days and we know the defence has been decimated, but the rest of the team looks very lightweight at the moment.

Has to go down as a very poor day at the office ... poor decision making by several players and Brenda should have brought on Soumari much earlier ... hopefully a good shake up for the players ... but we do need a bit of luck on the injury front.
What a pathetic performance. Kasper made a couple of decent saves and IMO only Ricardo put a shift in and deserves to keep his shirt for Saturday.
I actually thought Perez was doing ok, until the red card (and yes it was a clear red) but everywhere online,Perez is again getting grilled. I understand that, but a lot of fans only see what they want to see. Nobody has mentioned Vardy giving the ball away that led to a goal, Tieleman's had a schocker, Maddison did absolutely F all etc, etc.
It is about time players stopped thinking they can play the next game regardless of how they perform. If I was Brenda, I would make a point of it against Norwich and drop "the stars" to hopefully give them a kick up the backside.
I know this won't happen, but I would go with the following against Norwich.
Kasper
Amartey, Ndidi, Benkovic
Ricardo, Soumare,Praet, Dewsbury-Hall, Castagne
Daka, Barnes
I don't like Ndidi at the back as we lose so much from midfield, but for Saturday, I feel we have no choice.
