Spare a thought for Mike Phelan.

Already the Hull City caretaker manager seems to be unfurling the white flag, even before Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez get their first run at his patched-up defence.

The first Dugout Discussion of the Premier League season could witness one of the most one-sided opening fixtures in memory.

Champions Leicester turn up at the KCOM Stadium off the back of the FA Community Shield defeat to Manchester United but surely still brimming with confidence and optimism following the triumphant campaign.

Certainly they bring plenty of talent and pace – heightened by the presence of Ahmed Musa and Demarai Gray on their teamsheet. That might just prove too much, even for a spirited Hull City showing.

Stranger things have happened, though. Just ask Claudio Ranieri.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    tbf, Ranieri did say Mahrez will be off penos for a while and might take them back later.

    🙄

    Hate it as a Vardy owner though. The only reason I got Vardy over Mahrez was cos of pens. WC incoming.

    Do you think he's back on pens as part of negotiating him to stay at Leicester?

  17. Van der Faart

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      And what source do you have to prove that Mahrez was back on pens?

    Didnt this site say Vardys no.1 on pens? RIP

  22. davies

    Well that's a game-changer. I was under the impression that Vardy was on penalties.

    Probably looking to get rid now. Or maybe look to get Mahrez for cover.

    I must say, I really like the changes they've made to the ingame bonus points on the site. Much cleaner.

    Morgan CS gone.

  27. Bellerinmondo

    just popped in to see if FFS went into meltdown when Mahrez took the pen 🙂

  28. Zombie
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    So did Vardy -> Diamonde after the first goal.

    and then did Diamonde to Vardy for -4 when they got the penalty and now Mahrez takes it. FML!

  29. Messiah Hazard

    Need a couple more from Mahrez to offset the CS loss from Morgan

    Put Mahrez in not expecting him to be on pens. What a bonus! Over to you Jamie.
