Ric Flair Posted 3 August 2016 Share Posted 3 August 2016 I think Musa has to start tonight and Gray. I'd like to see a front 3 of Gray, Musa and Mahrez with Drinkwater, Mendy and Amartey in midfield. Gray deserves his chance as he now looks to not only have the discipline to keep things simple when needed but that confidence and flair to really go at the opposition, he looks ready.

brucey Posted 3 August 2016 Share Posted 3 August 2016 Too bad there's no tunnel cam, I'd love to watch Mahrez fanboying over Messi. Expecting both to play the first 45 mins, and Zieler to play the entire 90. Pls and yup, no vardy, think his plaster cast isn't due off yet. don't think the officials would let a heavy cast on the field, could be a blunt force weapon.

midland_red Posted 3 August 2016 Share Posted 3 August 2016 it would be nice not to have a heavy defeat, but really, the objectives of a friendly are; - have a kickabout and loosen up - experiment with players, formations and ideas in an environment where the result doesn't really matter - start to integrate new and younger players - learn some lessons. You learn far more from a defeat than you do from a victory and you only up your game by pitting yourselves against better opposition. Claudio is a man of the world, he certainly understands this well. So not too much stress if we do get badly beaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 3 August 2016 Share Posted 3 August 2016 I've got a seriously bad feeling about this I think Barcelona are more of the anti Leicester City than the other way round. if the PSG game is anything to go by this game will be dire and we will lose. Hopefully it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpjfox Posted 3 August 2016 Share Posted 3 August 2016 theres been a lack of media coverage since USA hopefully they are knuckling down and getting fit (imo the lack of games suggests some will not be match fit, certainly for Sunday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 3 August 2016 Share Posted 3 August 2016 I wonder sometimes if people realise that 'playing the Leicester way' involves Vardy. He's the quickness and the energy up front that enables us to get forward so quickly nd to chase everything down. If Vardy isn't playing, we'll probably be more ponderous and slower builds up will ensue. We've seen that Ulloa and Shinji have a few goals in them. But they don't let us play how Vardy let's us play. I'm surprised we've not yet pushed the boat out to spend what we need to on that second, quick goalscorer. I think we'll need one to continue playing how we like to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 3 August 2016 Share Posted 3 August 2016 Surely musa was brought as a vardy back up. We can play grey and Mahrez out wide when missing vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole aggressive, direct style of play is built around him and he defends from the front. We need to keep possession tonight, mind. As I said previously we can't keep letting Kasper kick it aimlessly long because we're giving Barcelona the ball back and as we all know they are masters at keeping it. A couple times I've seen Mendy come short for it but Kasper says no and then just boots it to absolutely nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumed that's why we signed Musa, to play when he doesn't... so I hope to christ we play him and not Leo and Shinji again as it will be bloody painful if we don't.
