For tomorrow evening’s match against Spurs we (Leicester) are missing all 6 centre backs, plus two full-backs. Ndidi can stand in as a CB and I suspect he’ll have an academy player making his debut alongside him.

Well we haven't played any football or trained in a week and a half. Should be an interesting game..?

Injuries are part of football, everyone gets them. Leicester need to get on with it ?
 
Getting the ball is completely irrelevant.

Also, going over the top of the ball, nearly knee high could be considered dangerous.
Coufal didn't do that. He won the ball cleanly, then makes some contact with the forward's shin. Not studs though I don't think. I agree that getting ball first doesn't prevent it being a foul - but also there has to be some contact allowed from your follow-through without it being called reckless or being given as a foul.
 
Oh I do enjoy it when fans start calling other teams cheats for employing “the dark arts”. Like the team they support doesn’t/wouldn’t do exactly the same ?

There is the dark arts and a manager picking his player who's "suffering" cramp up and pushing him back into the field to have the game stopped

That's darn right cheating

Re previous post he got the ball and didn't go over the top

Lacazette was then so badly injured he suddenly jumped up to take the pen.

After all its a contact sport

Absolutely, every team does it, and whinge like they are holier than though when another team does it against them. Hate when I see my team do it (Arsenal), but, it's become the norm in a game, and the ref's buy into it by not penalizing when they should. I want the ref's to book players for play acting, it's the only way it will reduce it occurring. Whilst they can get away with it, they will.

That's the thing players gaining advantage with play acting is one thing. Bad enough

When a manager starts actively encouraging it in public (not behind closed doors) it's proper poor form

The manager is suppose to discourage it.. publicly anyways .. rather than actively go right go down injured.. no not there.. that won't help
