FireFox Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Schmeichel Hernández - Huth - Morgan - Fuchs Mahrez - Drinkwater - Amartey - Albrighton Slimani - Vardy Subs: Zieler, Musa, King, Schlupp, Simpson, Okazaki, Gray
FireFox Posted 27 September 2016 Author Posted 27 September 2016 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.
lgfualol Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 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.
brucey Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Poor Simpson though, is he not going to get to play in any CL matches?
FireFox Posted 27 September 2016 Author Posted 27 September 2016 Just now, tsintskaro said: 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.

brucey Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 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....
DB11 Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Hope Simpson gets to play in the Champions League at least once
desertfox2 Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 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

Probably impact sub 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.
Free Falling Foxes Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 All this is still sinking in for me. Saw some Porta fans near the Holiday Inn. Brilliant.

fazzyfox Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 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!

crazyleicester Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 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)
EGBFitness Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 We best smash these tonight, be nice to see Casillas pick the ball out the next few times. Let's ****ing top this group!
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Come on Foxes! A nod of confidence by Claudio largely to say we can forget Saturday for now and go and prove yourselves as you did against Brugge. Right thing I think.

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