Traditionally, if our skipper wins the toss, he like to attack the Holmesdale end in the second half.

Is there any data to indicate that we score more goals and concede fewer goals when this is the case?

How come we now seem to quite often play towards the Holmsdale end in the first half. I know the toss gives the team winning the choice but when I had a season ticket five years ago we always played towards the Holmsdale in the second half. I assumed that if the opposition won the toss they decided to attack the Sainsbury’s end second half as their fans were at that end in the Arthur.

Brendan Rogers has said several times in interviews that he is aware that we like to kick towards the Holmesdale in the second half & his Leicester teams (when they win the toss) make the choice to deliberately deny us that opportunity.

On other odd occasions when the same thing happened I just assumed that the opposition had won the toss & chosen likewise.

Maybe the team just don’t give a toss. (sorry I couldn’t help myself)

I have nothing new to say specifically on Tuesday's events, but I would guess that as early as since the fifties we have kicked towards the Holmesdale in the second half in a good 75% of matches. Many of us senior citizens will recall trekking along the old Park Road mud heap at halftime in order to be behind the opposition goal again.
