fuchsntf Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Normal 1st team... Unless Gray will have different orders,compared with the cup game, Albrighton in to settle with midfield, then pushing forward, like he normally does.....Gray impact sub. Shinji to start with Vardy.

Dan LCFC Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Big game in the sense that I think we're in real danger of getting stuck in a bad run of form, especially given our three games after this. In an ideal world, we will go out, attack them like we did in the second half in September and run out sound 2-0 winners. These are good, but not exceptional. They're beatable for sure. Time to believe that. Don't approach this game trying to pinch a win. Go out and win with some conviction behind it like we'd been doing earlier in the season. Sadly I have a bad feeling about this game. 1-1 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LCFC_World Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Kasper Morgan Huth Wasilewski Albrighton Drinkwater Kante Fuchs Mahrez Vardy Okazaki The return of 3-5-2 maybe to shake things up?... If not then play the same that we did at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Probably the same team that's started all the other games, with strict orders on all players but the main striker to remain within 40 yards of their own goal line. If one of the long balls somehow ends up with the main striker for more then 3 seconds, 3 players are permitted to enter oppositions's half.

EnglishOxide Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Can see another loss now. Vardy will score again but we will lose 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 0-1. They'll do what Spurs did and sit in. Can't see them over committing throughout the game and then they'll probably do us from a set piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Massive game for Ranieri imo. He needs to go back to setting up positively and starting games at 100 miles an hour. He's made some real errors in these past few weeks after a dream start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji-San Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Glad to see nobody suggesting we start with Dyer and Ulloa. Lets just hope CR is of the same mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Dykes Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 The next 4 matches are a crucial part of the season. We've got Stoke (h), Liverpool (h), Man City (a), Arsenal (a), and then after that, the fixture list looks a lot less scary, and only one more mid-week game. If we can get to the end of the Arsenal match in a decent position, then I think we've got a good chance of finishing the season strongly. I want to see a much better performance than we're becoming used to. I'd take a draw as long as we look more like the team that started the season so well.

UPinCarolina Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 The closest thing that we've had this season to a must win, IMO. This is make or break momentum stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thybluefox Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 If we play this tactic of a negative first half to stop them scoring again, I think I may well do myself in. I really don't understand it. Essentially, we're saying we're going to not try and score first half, so that we can hopefully go in at half-time nil-nil and then try and score in the second? Why not just aim to win both halves - then you win the game! It just sounds like a terrible idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what? Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 At this point I would take a loss in return for getting back to attacking football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 At this point I would take a loss in return for getting back to attacking football Kind of get what you mean, I'd prefer that it didn't take a bad result to shake us out of this style of play. Sometimes it seems the only way a manager will acknowledge that something has to change is when poor results come. I feel like Ranieri is too experienced to be making a seemingly obvious mistake though, surely there is some grand plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Hoping we can get back to winning ways, we need a boost. I like Stoke both as a team and club, decent fans too and they've got a lot of quality within their side. But, 3pts would be a great morale booster for the team.

RoyFox Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Stoke are 3-1 to win - that's a decent price with our current form, concerned by the lack of cohesion in our passing at the moment. Stoke are in form, physical and potent in attack. We need to be back to our best, we are so reliant though on Mahrez and Vardy. Vardy should be back to full fitness, Mahrez is a confidence player and his missed penalties have taken it out of him - hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Ridiculous price for Stoke. Going to have a decent wedge on them I think, depending on their starting line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 At least if we get a result you won't be too bothered about the bet, call it "insurance"! Haha exactly. Safer bet us probably under 2.5 goals or 0-0 ar half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loggy88 Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Huge game on Saturday. I fancy us to beat Stoke 2-1. There a good side but i think we will sneak it, and maybe get a bit of luck which we haven't had in the last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 21 January 2016 Share Posted 21 January 2016 Are we really struggling though? We've set up the exact same way against the bigger teams for the majority of the season, we played an open attacking style against Arsenal and they killed us, therefore Ranieri rightfully changed his tactics when going up against the likes of Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool & Spurs, from those games in the league we picked up 9 points, I'd take that all day long. I can't see us approaching the Stoke game in a defensive way, I think Ranieri will revert to our usual 4-4-2 and hopefully we will be better off. Villa game was an off day but we didn't lose, Bournemouth was just one of those games, where neither side looked like scoring. After Stoke we have Liverpool, Man City & Arsenal and no doubt we will set up in a defensive manner and sit back; it could be frustrating and it's likely we could lose all three of those games, after them we have a decent period of games, if we struggle over that period then we have a right to worry. As for Stoke... Schmeichel Simpson - Huth - Morgan - Fuchs Albrighton - Kante - Drinkwater - Gray Okazaki - Vardy Bench - Schwarzer, Wasyl, Chilwell, Inler, King, Mahrez, Ulloa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
