Disappointing to lose Kante but sensible management, we don't want him missing the rest of the season with a pulled hamstring.

 

West Brom at home is not a bad game for him to miss, King can bring certain strengths, a greater goal threat and is good in and around the box. King does well when he makes the odd appearance but struggles to sustain over a prolonged number of games.

I'm glad we will be going for WINS... as oppose to settling for draws. I can see this being a high scoring game. Hopefully we can keep a clean sheet and win 4-0 :)

Ranieri says the need for maximum points at the business end of the season means he will continue to gamble on games that are in the balance.

He said: “I will take a lot of risks; we have to be in or out.

“You could lose the game, but one point is nothing. We took the risk against Norwich, but the manager is there for this reason.

One things for sure... they seem quite jealous  :scarf:  :scarf:

There's nothing too bitter in there to be fair...

 

Although I've never liked them as a team, even less so now, have always found West Brom fans to be the best out of a bad bunch in Birmingham.

 

Brum city are by far the worst: real scum, with a small-time aggressive mentality. Villa can be OK but have this false sense of superiority that really grates.  West Brom are a bit more humble and down-to-earth normally....

Yeah it was nice to hear, you could see we were throwing caution to the wind a bit towards the end. Just go for it and see what happens.

Just a quick point, don't think it has been mentioned recently and isn't intended to be overly critical but I think Albrighton needs a rest. He really wasn't at the races against Norwich, lots of misplaced passes etc, I just think Claudio is managing the rest of the squad well and this is one position we have good back up so no harm in rotation?

 

Also noticed that West Brom fell to pieces as soon as Palace brought on pace in the second half on Saturday so Gray/Schlupp might be a better option on that side over Albrighton?

I would tend to agree, he didn't have the best of games against Norwich, but he probably had one of his best games against West Brom away so maybe rest him against Watford.

I suppose he does have that extra edge against former West Mids rivals! A nice problem to have though, the fact that there's good options to replace.

If they play like norwich we will struggle, our whole game is built on a counter attacking style, if there is nothing to counter vardy becomes isolated and our passing isnt good enough. I lost count on saturday of balls pumped into the box and it being headed away.

 

23. Or at least FourFourTwo says we were 3 for 26 on crosses. Still it was a failure to penetrate and assert presence in the box. Vardy and Okazaki were stand off the line more times than not while outnumbered. It was obvious we needed a plan B we didn't have.

 

Yet I read all of these posts on here saying the answer is more speed when really our biggest issue was not being able to get through the landmines Norwich stuffed in their box. That game needed a breakdown in the final third to win. It was not a midfield game.

I do agree, although if we can play further up the pitch we can use speed to get in behind in the sides, with full backs forward, or Schlupp getting to the byline, which is what we miss with Albrighton - then pull the ball back, that's got to be the way to beat W Brom. I'd start Schlupp ahead of Mark for this one.

Or we could just beat them like last time. Vardy and Ulloa in the middle. Albrighton whipping balls across to Mahrez ghosting in.

Who crossed the ball for the goal on Saturday...

Put out points in that are valid, not contradictive.

Every fking week some dodos need to dig at some player or another, often with

illogical unknowledgable comments.

No point crossing against their defenders and if we think we'll be given the space for Mark to dink crosses to the back post you're sadly mistaken - they actually attacked a bit at the Hawthorns

You're perhaps right but we sometimes tend to forget that for him, he is playing out of position to accommodate Mahrez on the right. As an "old fashioned' right winger I thing he'd do a good job for England as an option. He's a tremendous crosser of the ball and the cross for Ulloas goal on Saturday typifies what he's all about. An unsung team player hero who works his socks off.

riyad has stopped getting as far forward as he did earlier on in the campaign. I assume this has coincided with us looking more solid and conceding less goals. maybe now that Claudio has decided its sh*t or bust each fixture, we will see a more 'gung ho' approach again ??

You're underestimating that defenders mark Leo tighter in the box which opens up space in other areas.

I agree. Armchair quarterbacks looking for something negative to say.
