fuchsntf Posted 15 August 2016 Share Posted 15 August 2016 Emotions, creates the various opinions on team selection thats being posted. Sometimes its the small changes, that can push you on.. I would go back to the original title winning back four Huth for Hernandez. Mendy for King.I might think of throwing in an extra midfielder Armatey , over both Albrighton or Gray. Musa, Vardy, Mahrez, I would let loose again. Its obviously Ranieris call, he'll see whos upto it over the week. Gray/Albrighton/Shinji, I would be the last to complain, if 1-2 of these 3 get the nod. We are at home, even if it is against our bogeyteam Arsenal. We have to clinically take our chances , more intensity makes the difference. Mahrez needs to want to make things happen, I want to see him be greedy in the 1st 20 minutes.

Manwell Pablo Posted 15 August 2016 Share Posted 15 August 2016 Huth please, we are shite without Huth, Mendy in, Albrighton back in, Okzaki back in. Call me crazy but we should stick to as close to the team that won the league as possible for now, no need to rotate yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Musa on to inject a little pace in the 2nd hal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 15 August 2016 Share Posted 15 August 2016 I think if we go 442 it would be unfair to drop Musa. Vardy doesn't look sharp enough yet, I couldnt imagine people keeping Musa in the team if he missed those chances Vardy did at Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a pretty big difference. People are so defensive over mahrez it's ridiculous you do realise that this is a leicester forum right. so why would i be defensive about keeping the best player in the team on the starting line up. he is undroppable. love it you not. for so many factors. one is the contract negotiations. and the second is the fact that he is the current player of the season. i am not defending a scrub or a squad player. i am defending the best player on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in no doubt he should play against Arsenal but I don't think it would do us or Riyad any good to make him the only untouchable player in the squad.

Vardy is a confidence player and dropping him won't do him or the team any favours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, don't talk about dropping Mahrez while the Algerian contingent are logged on, we will all end up being branded ungrateful pig dogs who do not show love at best player ever play to Leicester.

fuchsntf Posted 15 August 2016 Share Posted 15 August 2016 Going into meltdown...FFS this forum has melted..!!!! Trying to put up a reason or reasons, to drop Vardy and Mahrez.. After....think about this AFTER ONE GAME. The discussion on individuals, may well have legs 6-8 games in, but one game!! , and dont come with the routine, I saw it coming, or rights to opinions. King Dick doesnt go in for defeatism opinions before major battle plans have been layed on the table. Early Skirmishes mean nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree on those changes but would just add King can play in a 2 with drinky as long as Okazaki is playing as he adds the extra hustler/worker Agree on the vardy/musa points-I don't think they can play together as they both want balls in behind and there is no link up play. Kind of reminds me of a World Cup where Sven started Owen and vassell together against Sweden because vassell scored an bicycle kick in a friendly - we looked disjointed until emile came on... fwiw is vardy is not fully fit musa should start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be at the detriment of the unit to play the two of them together though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talking_goldfish Posted 15 August 2016 Share Posted 15 August 2016 For me it has to be: Kasper Simpson Huth Morgan Fuchs Albrighton Drinkwater Mendy Mahrez Okazaki Musa We saw the beginnings of a decent partnership between Okazaki and Musa in pre-season and I think they deserve a chance to play in this together. Musa has shown that he has the capability to go around a player but I think he needed to be a little more greedy on Saturday and take a few shots himself, hopefully playing him as the main striker will give him that confidence. Obviously we can then bring Gray on for Albrighton and Vards for Shinji with 30 mins to go to really terrorise the Arse's defence! I want to see Mahrez playing out of his skin in this one, and if the rumours are true about him wanting an Arsenal move then I can see him really turning up for this one. No knees-a-jerking from me, and there won't be even if we lose this one, we got turned over in this fixture last season and it didn't really harm our results thereafter.

If Vardy and Fuchs had scored from the Musa created chances, then you would be purring over their teamwork. Shinji was brought on, not because that partnership had failed...Vardy , Musa combination actually worked, The final or completion of the chance, wasnt taken, and its far too early to start dropping top players on missed chances... Overall the team didnt click against Hull, last season we kept scoring, even when we had a few below avg games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucey Posted 15 August 2016 Share Posted 15 August 2016 If Mahrez plays poorly = Disinterested, head turned, trying to push for a move If Mahrez plays well = Desperate to catch Wenger's eye, desperate to move there Also looks like Mustafi to Arsenal transfer has fallen through Gooner meltdown ongoing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4everfox Posted 15 August 2016 Share Posted 15 August 2016 We'll be back with vengeance for this one. 2-0 Leicester. Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs Mahrez Drinkwater Mendy Albrighton Vardy Musa Bring on Gray, Kapustka and Okazaki for an impact in the second half.

CPW22 Posted 15 August 2016 Share Posted 15 August 2016 As disappointing as Saturday was I can't see too many changes going into this game. I wouldn't drop Vardy, I don't think dropping your top goal scorer after one bad game is the right decision. Likewise with Mahrez, assuming his head is in the right place (and only the staff and the player will know that as informed as we might think we are as fans), I think he has to start. I would bring back Albrighton. Poor first half vs United and I thought it was the right call to drop him at the weekend but we'll need his work rate. I'd also bring Shinji in for Musa, similar reasoning that his defensive work rate will be important for us. Mendy for King also, not sure King has done enough last two games for me.
