Mahrez - Drinkwater - Amartey - Albrighton

                    Slimani - Vardy

 

Subs: Zieler, Musa, King, Schlupp, Simpson, Okazaki, Gray

Hernandez chosen of Simpson. Maybe Simpson has just played too many minutes recently, or maybe Hernandez to play CL games? (Or maybe we've realized Simpson is shit.)

 

Okazaki instead of Ulloa this time.

Schlupp instead of Chilwell on bench.

Decent team. At least King isnt starting like I had feared. 

 

Hopefully Vardy and Mahrez are up for it after their brief jog on Saturday morning.

 

Long throws and good crosses to Slimani's head please.

When are we gonna see 4-3-3

When Mendy is fit.

When Mendy and Amartey both deserve to start over Albrighton.

When Slimani needs a rest or when we push Vardy wide.

Brahimi on bench for them. Probably impact sub.

 

Good thing he's not starting, he is basically an opposite-sided Mahrez (LW), and him vs Hernandez probably won't end well....

Can see the thinking here from Don Claudio. They are going to be heavily marking Slimani and the long throw's from each flank will cause a lot of problems. Slim gets a flick on any throw then Vardy smashes in from space created. 1-0 crack on

No, it's because last year he started saying he wanted to leave Porto as soon as possible. Besides, he is quite overrated. All he does is pointless dribbles and is incredibly selfish. We're better with Otavio/Oliver Torres/Jesus Corona.

Poor Simpson though, is he not going to get to play in any CL matches?

Poor Simpsons not been very good at the whole football thing recently tho. Good at pointing tho

Hate is a strong word but I used to hate Porto with a passion beginning with how they cheated Vs O'Niell's Celtic in a Uefa final, diving, rolling around, play acting, time wasting beyond anything I've ever seen. That's a long time ago now and I'm prepared to start tonight with a clean slate, just be careful lads, are you listening Huth, Drinky, be very careful!

I expected more changes if Im honest. I half expected Okazaki in for Slimani as the latter ran a lot for the whole game at United and played by himself for most of the second half but good on CR for allowing Slim and Vardy to build a partnership. Schmeichel back will boost the back 4 a bit. Not that Zieler has done much wrong but its that familiarity thing. Hernandez at RB isnt a disaster. Simpson is a solid full back but we are yet to see Hernandez get a run in the side. He has looked ropey in central defence but lets give the lad a chance to show what he has.

 

Tonight will be goals galore and we will win 3-2. (Expect a 0-0 LOL)

We very rarely do that. It's just not in our DNA. I remember that game and it's true, but what did you expect? Mourinho was the coach!
