Leicester are schit. Rodgers will be first manager to get sacked
Who will Leicester replace him with if they do sack Rodgers?
Is this in jest? Leicester have been appalling so far and got battered by 10 men for large parts of today; to lose a team with 10 from the 26th minute is shocking
Ronaldo starting solves no problem. ETH is doing what a manager who does not have the tools does. Defend effectively and hopes to pick a goal. Casemiro probably starts for Eriksen. Maybe push Bruno for Elanga. Everything else should be the same. Enjoy the Varane fitness while it lasts.

Still have a pretty good squad even without Fofana. Maddison won’t be allowed to leave and Tielemans looks like he will stay and leave for nothing next season. The financial situation is temporary - Leicester have just built the best training complex in the country and expanding the stadium.
I think it’s going to be a very tough season but the long term future of the club is still healthy, even if we are in for a very tough time this season.
Martial might be fit, think it's only a minor injury that kept him out today.

We can’t defend basically. We had Chelsea on the ropes for the last 15 mins, should have scored 2 (first goal should not have been disallowed) but when you concede 2 per game it’s very tough. Fofana hasn’t played for 2 games and is leaving - much will depend on who we bring in as a replacement and Rodgers finally getting binned off. We should improve then

No it's not in jest. They were all over Chelsea towards the end and really should have scored.
Rodgers is a good manager, but they are selling goof players without replacing them, also we are not City.

You can’t guarantee any result with United, given, but I think it’s a little bizarre to single out Leicester in particular, after one of the worst transfer windows in PL memory, an awful start to the season, and their fans screaming for Rodgers to be sacked.
As I say, Chelsea had 10 from the 26th minute and managed to go two up in that time. Fatigue is inevitable after that length of time with a man down, so you wouldn’t expect anything less than a strong finish from Leicester, given their advantage and the scoreline.
I wouldn’t bet against a draw, but that’s an indictment of United as opposed to an appraisal of Leicester; I’d have them down with Bournemouth as the kindest opposition in the league at present.
I doubt Garnacho will start. Barely played in pre-season and has had about 5 mins of competitive football. ETH clearly feels he’s not ready.
There’s zero point in starting Ronaldo but fingers crossed we have 1 or 2 more options by Thursday.

We got a good result today. More importantly the team demonstrated the tenacity to win ugly, which has been severely lacking for a while now. We’re improving game by game but we need a fit Martial and probably another forward, even with Greenwood back playing for the u21s.

Where have I stated that I wasn’t aware they were our next game?
It is my opinion - so need to take anything to heart or get agitated by it - that it is bizarre to single out Leicester as a potentially difficult forthcoming match, as opposed to others, given several negative factors surrounding that club, it’s manager, and it’s team at this moment in time, particularly after an abysmal day on their behalf today.
Had you said “hey guys, Leeds have had a strong start and we have them coming up - might be difficult to come away with a win” I’d have totally agreed. Equally, had you said “Leicester have been rubbish, but so have we, so I’m not optimistic” I’d have totally agreed.
The wording “based on today’s showing” threw me because, as mundane and minimal as we were, Leicester were awful, conceded two against ten men, and ultimately lost after having played 80 minutes with a man’s advantage. There isn’t a PL team that wouldn’t have been utterly disappointed by that result and performance, had they changed shoes with Leicester today.
Re Pool and scoring nine, football doesn’t work that way and you know it.

Let’s get a bit of context to this. First and foremost, even down to 10 men, Chelsea’s team are probably worth about £500m more than Leicesters. Even down to 10 men at home, they’re dangerous and they have very good that can change games.
We battered Chelsea for the last 20 mins, had an unfairly disallowed goal and were well worth a point. I could dig out a few games I’m sure where the away team has gone down to 10 and the opposition didn’t go and win the game. Had Man City gone down to 10 would you have expected us to beat them?
Had this been a home game I could understand your point, but the level of opposition, even down to 10 men, is miles above Leicester
I'm not agitated, I'm, what should I say, mellow, Nice meal with daughter and son in law in Chambéry on the terrace.
I singled out Leicester because they are our next opponents.
They still have good players and a good manager.
Yes, they have made a poor start, but so have Pool until today.
I can't imagine Leicester looking relegation candidates come Christmas. But who knows.
Our form is hardly wonderful so, yes, I think Thursday will be tough.
I am happy with the improvements in defence in the last 2 games.
We still need to do a lot better on the ball though, still struggling to connect the defence and attack.

We’re not good enough at the moment for any game to be less than tough, Rodgers has been dealt a tough hand but he is a good manager and he will be thinking like all managers if they outwork us they can get a result.
New additions should improve us but transitionally we are still a poor team and really struggle with ball retention under even the slightest press.
People on here slate Ronaldo but at times we get so little from Rashford and Sancho, Elanga isn’t top four quality and Martial for me is a miserable waste of space, we desperately need a centre forward to link up the attack, if only we had a young Mark Hughes coming through.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree with that right now, but I think that’s testament to where Leicester are at the moment. During Rodgers’ first season in charge, that result would’ve been slammed by the fans, because there was optimism and belief in the side’s quality. Now, after a very poor 2022 in general, it’s shrugged aside and statements like that ring true.
Roundabout way of saying: the Leicester we are seeing right now are not the side we’ve come to think of in recent years, ergo my thought that they, alongside Bournemouth, are probably the teams you’d want to be facing in the league right now (permitting that there are no easy games, of course).
This isn’t born of a few bad games, as 52 said, Pool had a really poor start, but are still riddled with quality; this is months of mediocrity, ostensible disharmony between manager, club leadership, and fans, and a horrendous transfer window.
Never confident of a win these days, mind!

As I say, Chelsea had 10 from the 26th minute and managed to go two up in that time. Fatigue is inevitable after that length of time with a man down, so you wouldn’t expect anything less than a strong finish from Leicester, given their advantage and the scoreline.
I wouldn’t bet against a draw, but that’s an indictment of United as opposed to an appraisal of Leicester; I’d have them down with Bournemouth as the kindest opposition in the league at present.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you think Pool will score nine?
Bizarre to single out Leicester? They're our next opponents, bizarre for a United fan not to know that.
I don't care what the fans are screaming for, his record shows Rodgers is a good manager
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Where have I stated that I wasn’t aware they were our next game?
It is my opinion - so need to take anything to heart or get agitated by it - that it is bizarre to single out Leicester as a potentially difficult forthcoming match, as opposed to others, given several negative factors surrounding that club, it’s manager, and it’s team at this moment in time, particularly after an abysmal day on their behalf today.
Had you said “hey guys, Leeds have had a strong start and we have them coming up - might be difficult to come away with a win” I’d have totally agreed. Equally, had you said “Leicester have been rubbish, but so have we, so I’m not optimistic” I’d have totally agreed.
The wording “based on today’s showing” threw me because, as mundane and minimal as we were, Leicester were awful, conceded two against ten men, and ultimately lost after having played 80 minutes with a man’s advantage. There isn’t a PL team that wouldn’t have been utterly disappointed by that result and performance, had they changed shoes with Leicester today.
Re Pool and scoring nine, football doesn’t work that way and you know it.

We got a good result today. More importantly the team demonstrated the tenacity to win ugly, which has been severely lacking for a while now. We’re improving game by game but we need a fit Martial and probably another forward, even with Greenwood back playing for the u21s.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Greenwood ? Are you sure ?

Is this in jest? Leicester have been appalling so far and got battered by 10 men for large parts of today; to lose a team with 10 from the 26th minute is shocking
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it's not in jest. They were all over Chelsea towards the end and really should have scored.
Rodgers is a good manager, but they are selling goof players without replacing them, also we are not City.
We need to be at our best to beat teams like them away.
I'm going for a draw.

Let’s get a bit of context to this. First and foremost, even down to 10 men, Chelsea’s team are probably worth about £500m more than Leicesters. Even down to 10 men at home, they’re dangerous and they have very good that can change games.
We battered Chelsea for the last 20 mins, had an unfairly disallowed goal and were well worth a point. I could dig out a few games I’m sure where the away team has gone down to 10 and the opposition didn’t go and win the game. Had Man City gone down to 10 would you have expected us to beat them?
Had this been a home game I could understand your point, but the level of opposition, even down to 10 men, is miles above Leicester

I'm not agitated, I'm, what should I say, mellow, Nice meal with daughter and son in law in Chambéry on the terrace.
I singled out Leicester because they are our next opponents.
They still have good players and a good manager.
Yes, they have made a poor start, but so have Pool until today.
I can't imagine Leicester looking relegation candidates come Christmas. But who knows.
Our form is hardly wonderful so, yes, I think Thursday will be tough.

I am happy with the improvements in defence in the last 2 games.
We still need to do a lot better on the ball though, still struggling to connect the defence and attack.

We’re not good enough at the moment for any game to be less than tough, Rodgers has been dealt a tough hand but he is a good manager and he will be thinking like all managers if they outwork us they can get a result.
New additions should improve us but transitionally we are still a poor team and really struggle with ball retention under even the slightest press.
People on here slate Ronaldo but at times we get so little from Rashford and Sancho, Elanga isn’t top four quality and Martial for me is a miserable waste of space, we desperately need a centre forward to link up the attack, if only we had a young Mark Hughes coming through.

I agree with that right now, but I think that’s testament to where Leicester are at the moment. During Rodgers’ first season in charge, that result would’ve been slammed by the fans, because there was optimism and belief in the side’s quality. Now, after a very poor 2022 in general, it’s shrugged aside and statements like that ring true.
Roundabout way of saying: the Leicester we are seeing right now are not the side we’ve come to think of in recent years, ergo my thought that they, alongside Bournemouth, are probably the teams you’d want to be facing in the league right now (permitting that there are no easy games, of course).
This isn’t born of a few bad games, as 52 said, Pool had a really poor start, but are still riddled with quality; this is months of mediocrity, ostensible disharmony between manager, club leadership, and fans, and a horrendous transfer window.
Never confident of a win these days, mind!
