Bazly Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 I'm more than a little pessimistic about our prospects in this game which could make it 5 games lost in a row. Having shipped 12 goals in the last 4 games I think its going to be too easy for Arsenal to stroll a few goals in. King needs to go for Mendy and I'd have Schlupp in place of Grey. I'd go radical on the back line and have Fuchs, Huth and Hernandez or Simpson (Morgan has cost us the winning goal in the last two games and he didn't work well with Hernandez) as a back 3 and add in Amerty to a five man midfield which leaves Mahrez and Drinkwater some freedom to roam. I'd start Oazaki whitch leaves the only question on start for Vardy or Musa. Without Kante we need to look at redeveloping something like a 3 5 2 which worked well under Pearson.

This pre season friendly argument thing is not a good one. As you rightly say, that's 12 goals conceded in a mere 4 games. I made the point in the summer, this WILL affect confidence. For instance, you could see Kasper flapping yesterday. Compare this to the run in last season, where we simply did not look like conceding and it becomes clear. We need to stop looking like a side who can certainly score, but also concede far too readily.

Mahrez & Vardy. Probably just me I'd replace Riyad with Albrighton.
the fox Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 i hope mahrez get dropped. it seems whatever he does he be called lazy. sure mahrez was not playing good. but saying he was lazy is just sad. he was running back a lot!!!. he dropped to the midfield to start the play (in any other team the CMs are the ones to do that). he did what he could but it seemed that nothing was going for him. he will go to the african cup of nation. and only then his contribution to the team will surface
Jimmy Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 I want to drop Simpson but we don't have another option as I think we need Amartey in Cm for this 1 the way Mahrez is playing we have 10 men so I'd leave him out too Zieler Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs Amartey Drinkwater Mendy Musa Vardy Gray
Fox92 Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 Zieler/Kasper (not really bothered) Simpson -- Morgan -- Huth -- Fuchs Gray -- Amartey -- Drinkwater -- Albrighton Vardy Not looking forward to this game to be honest. Want to see much better performance(s) though.

Raj Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 Nice to see there are no knee jerk reaction on foxestalk!!! These players made history last season and gave us memories for life. They put themselves and LCFC in the history books. We made worldwide news. People loved us. The media loved us We got praise from everyone(except Lawro!!!) Italians came in their droves to celebrate with us. 300,000 people celebrated our history. Lose one game and foxestalk want to belittle everything about last season. Just remember some of the attitudes written in the last day from some posters is the same as fans of 'The big boys' skstibg little old Leicester for winning "their" Premier League title. Hull "Out Leicester" Leicester. We weren't on our game,shit happens-Deal with it-BUT have some respect for what these boys have done for us. If we lose to Arsenal next week are you going to stay behind and boo them? Shame on some of you.
los dedos Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 Did'nt realise Morgan played on the wrong side.This can have a massive affect on a CB .So with Huth back Wes on his right side the defence will massivley improve.Just need to get Vardy and Marhrez on their game and we will give the Arse a run for their money
dylanlegend Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 Everyone needs to chill. Huth being back is huge for us, remember how sh*t we were without him season before last? Also, I wish everyone would stop slating Vardy and Mahrez. Short memories? One game doesn't make them bad players. If anything Hull did a number on us tactically, we need to get used to it. I expect us to be pretty solid next week with Huth back and Mahrez / Vardy / Musa will get much more room

irishfoxkev Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 Home against team bottom of the league (if game at Emirates continues the way it is now 1 4 ) no probs..Arsenal dire especially defence..oops 2 4 .....be more worried about Liverpool
Callabinho Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 Well if we can sort out the midfield issues we've got more than enough to trouble this lot.
lgfualol Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 If Vardy is sharper and we have a better CM pairing/3 in the middle then I think we could get a point.
Raj Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 Some of our fickle fans think we MAY have a LITTLE chance of something now after watching the runners up concede 4 goals at home and lose 3-4????
Zaid Posted 14 August 2016 Posted 14 August 2016 Do people not realise we're champions? Absolutely bizzare. Arsenals defence is in a crisis and I think they're there for the taking.
