Do any of you Leicester boys think that if Lampard gets the sack, Chelsea might come in for Brendan Rodgers?????.....Rob

Possibly.  Its the thing that comes with doing a good job. He has a lot going for him here but i believe him to be ambitious so who knows. The other side of the coin is we have a great young squad, a magnificent new training ground, plans to expand the kp by 10000 and billionaire owners, we are a very attractive club for any manager of a high level.

[Lionelonthevinyl 669]

I agree with you...Leicester is rock solid from top to bottom and must be a great place to work, very close knit team indeed. Rodgers is ambitious as you say and it is arguably a bigger club...I think it would be a massive mistake as I think Leicester has the prospect to be equally as big if not bigger!!! I would certainly want to be part of that!!!....Rob

Our club under the thai owners 

has operated in a planned way to gradually improve on the pitch and off it. The philosophy of the club will not change with the leaving of a manager or a star player. The long term plan is regular European campaigns and sustainable growth, we are on the up whatever blips occur along the way.

Traditionally the big clubs where United,  Liverpool  Arsenal , then foreign money At Chelsea  &  City made it 5   then Leicester joined to make it 6 so don't sell your self short. You are now classified as a big club in my humble opinion.  Foreign owners can also be good for football,  (Glazers apart) if they do it properly

You need a bit of GEAR down yer kneck to last the current formula of every dog has his day non stop football.
But it's good and it keeps the day interesting in-between the sounds.

Second thoughts - i'll just put the kettle on.

I reckon Lampard will see the season out and then the owner will decide, I really cant see Brendon wanting to change clubs with the development of LCFC and the problems some "big" clubs have handling their starlets.

I reckon thats a good shout and the sensible thing to do, i think he's still got Chelsea in the Champions League.

Oh there's a shame Burnley have taken the lead at the mickies 0.1 with just a  few minutes on the clock. Come on you Clarets

Liverpool beaten 0-1 by a stubborn Burnley side - still too early to write them off.

140.000 footy fans watched it unfold on the BBC Website.

Good result for MAN U - MAN CITY & LEICESTER

Always the victims. Probably Uniteds fault that Burnley got a penalty

[Stevegods 1,457]

At a complete loss .

Klopp took all the blame and didn’t try to shift it anywhere else. But it’s the players that need to man up and look at themselves. 

You can get through games if you have one or two players off form , but not 5 or 6 . Front three together with Trent and Robinson not putting good crosses in and Trent giving the ball away so much .. it’s a recipe for not even making the top 4 .

Big games to come -big test for Klopp as a Manager to turn this around , but I think it can happen. Belief , luck , early goal , whatever it takes .

This season is certainly giving us lots to talk about. Role on the weekend .

Well done Burnley .. hats off to them

Hats off to you steve a nice post after a result like that, showing a bit of class there buddy.

[Stevegods 1,457]

Well it wasn’t an easy watch , but it’s been brewing .... and nothing changed for the last 4/5 games , since we won at palace .

Loads of stick from my Manc’s friends , and Evertonians I have ....and that’s what I expected . 

We can’t blame injury’s or missed chances , we just haven’t been good enough. Simple as .

No one team is running away this season, and there was a point I thought we might again . But it does make for a better season. Even if we are suffering .. and boy I’m suffering at the mo , believe me . 

Role on Utd again .. just hope he puts out a strong side from the get go !

I think the game psychologically is huge for both clubs. Both will put out strong teams theres more at stake than a 4th round game for me it could be pivotal for both, probably more important to lpool to gain a win, but a big game looking forward to it. Shame you cant both lose.

Everton midweek. All important for us not blessed with a direct replacement but it happens and we'll get on with it. 

[Lionelonthevinyl 669]

He will be missed....he attracts defenders like he did for the Madison goal against chelsea. Reckon you will be fine though and he will come back fireing on all cylinders!!!.....Rob

VARDY OUT - IHEANACHO IN

Now is the time for our deputy striker to step up and show us that he has the appetite for the long haul.
He should be fresh - slide a ball through to him and he can deliver around the box.

Cengiz Ünder could also light up the FA CUP.

I would play perez in the striker role. Hope nacho proves me wrong but i need convincing.

There are options and i think Perez will feature - Last season we won the same tie at Griffin Park and Iheanacho scored the only goal.

So i would start him.

Brentford 1 - 0 Leicester

 

Half Time

Brentford 1 - 0 Leicester

Brentford are no mugs currently challenging for promotion from the Championship to the Premier League.
Brendan needs to tighten up and make changes in the second half.

Edited January 25 by Rudzy

[Leicester Boy 781]

Absolutely dreadful.  Cant take a corner, cant defend a corner, cant put two passes together. Step away from our main starting 11 and its very worrying. 

[Pga1 366]

Can someone stop Madison taking corners, cheers

[Pga1 366]

Ha ha, snap regarding corners. I've been feeling uncomfortable about this game for a few days. I didn't want to drink today and the ash tray is piling up, cheers

[Rudzy 339]

Cengiz Under
Silky as you like

Brentford 1 - 1 Leicester

[Rudzy 339]

Youri Tielemans (pen)
that's better

Brentford 1 - 2 Leicester

James Maddison
with a tap in from close range

Brentford 1 - 3 Leicester

 

Full Time

Brentford 1 - 3 Leicester

GREAT WIN!
First half to the home side - second half to the muchly improved visitors.

Brighton at home in the next round.

Let's go on and win the FVCKING LOT
