Sounds like he's feeling good for the weekend, seemed confident which was nice to hear.

He seemed much more positive after having a week to work on a game plan. Wolves obviously have not had that luxury.

Other than the obvious injuries it means Jose cannot use the other excuses he did for the Chelsea loss last week.

Jose is definitely a great talker when on form. He has made me feel supremely confident about Sunday now. You can see how he has a history of making players feel invincible.

Let’s hope for a much improved display.

Like others have said, he's somehow managed go instil some confidence in my when previously I had none, although I'll reserve judgement until after the game as he said similar before the Chelsea home game.

He did make a reference to not having a lot of time and noted several players were 'dead'. He was trying to warn us that the players wouldn't be able to give their best. He then refused to hammer them after saying he was pleased with their effort. He knew that they would only be able to do so much.

The fact that he's not giving any excuses or reasons for a bad performance shows he believes the players have worked well this week and we have a defined game plan. If we don't get the right result or play poorly then I will worry a bit as it means that either his strategy was wrong or the players can't see it through and that would be bad news for the rest of the season.

I’ve seen an awful lot of people on here slating Mou and saying that the likes of Rodgers etc are better, yet Leicester have one striker injured, in Vardy, and they can’t buy a win.

They have one player out, we have our best two, so it shows that it does matter if you have important players out. I actually think Liverpool would struggle in a lot of games if both Salah and Mane were out for the season, this a the situation Mourinho currently has.

Just a few weeks ago people were all claiming NDombele to be our bestest player and would be an unstoppable force when he finally got a start. Now he is available and Kane and Son have been out for a while they are back to being our bestest players.

I completely get your point, I have got especially frustrated with Mourinho and you are right Leicester seem to be having a down swing, but it feels like they have players who know their positions and have bought init how Rodgers wants to play. I am still trying to figure out what Mourinho is trying to do. Certainly it doesn't look like it is being implemented effectively in the pitch.

How long have both managers been at their clubs respectively?

I agree entirely, except for Liverpool it would be Firmino and Van Dijk imo.

This is very true however to this point Leicester have been very impressive under Rogers in many ways and they play the kind of football that our fans like to see.
