LCFC vs Spurs - Match Thread - 11th Feb 2023

[Muzzy_no7]

The most balanced and just generally nice line-up I’ve seen from us since Mahrez left. 

[trabuch]

I'm feeling optimistic again.  I don't think that not having Youri is the end of the world at all.

Mendy in for Tielemans is a blessing in disguise. Remember this post.

Said in the prematch thread, our midfield was the weak spot against villa and, on balance, youri is probably the one to drop, at least to start the match.

 

Shame he's not available to come on after 60, but it's not the end of the world.

Wish bellends would realise ward is our number one so it is obvious he will start. And still mindless morons slag off the team before we start doh 

Why are you so angry? Is everything OK at home? 

[Sunbury Fox]

Can we not go a week without an injury? Feeling far less confident with Mendy in for Youri, I'll be honest.

Obviously this depends on Mendy having a good game, but yeah on the face of it I'm a struggling to see it as a 'huge loss'. Forced or not, it attempts to address our main problem last week, and I don't think Youri contributed enough creatively to worry about that side of our game being kaiboshed

V spurs counter Mendy is a better option than youri

Of all the teams in the league, I have a particular hatred for these willy pullers. The FA golden boys. Detest everything about them.

[Ric Flair]

If we win a penalty today, who takes it? Tete? Maddison?

[Steve Earle]

Must. Not. Lose.

 

 

Or it’ll ruin my Saturday night. 
 

 

 

PS it’s 8pm now where I am ⬆️

Nah he's too lightweight and gives the ball away too often.

If I have to watch Youri hit another penalty to the centre left in going to pour bleach into my eyes.

 

Don't care who takes it just don't be predictable.

Nacho I would presume. Maddison's record is not great

[TMELcfc]

Danny Ward vs Harry Kane... Mike Dean on VAR... Youri Injured... all points to a Spurs win, but happy to be pleasantly surprised again

We will miss Youri badly. Need to outscored them. 3-2 

I'm going 6-6 in the 93rd minute...

So an 8-6 loss.

[Foxxed]

Mendy makes me think we'll be playing the possession game. Would have preferred Ndidi but then that's not an amazing option given his form either. The second game for our new look defence.

[SixtiesFox]

Must avoid the usual overly cautious Rodgers' start. We need to be brave, be positive and seize the initiative when playing at home.

Like the team but narrow loss imo
