Regardless this means a massive amount to our owners and all the other Thais supporting and working at the club, they will appreciate it I'm sure. Different world and a different culture but we are benefiting massively from it. Those with the ignorant comments, don't hide its your opportunity now to feel free to boo.

Fair enough idea considering who they are, but couldn't this been arranged on Tuesday, who would make it more closer to the timing of it?
Foxxed Posted 21 October 2016 Posted 21 October 2016 After reading Carled's post in the Fuchs thread, I'd love to try Vardy Slimani Shinji Albrighton Drinky Amartey Fuchs Huth Morgan Simpson Vardy and Slimani for obvious reasons. Shinji because he will not only make space, but stop teams dominating the midfield. Drinky for obvious reasons. Amartey and Albrighton to be defensive wingers, that can be swapped for Mahrez and Gray if we need to be more attacking. And the back four as normal. After Shinji is knacked and have worn our opponents out, swap him for Mahrez, Gray, etc, to give the opponents further trouble in the remaining 25 minutes or so. Absolutely unsure if Ranieri would ever try it, but carled's pretty much convinced me.
Dr The Singh Posted 21 October 2016 Posted 21 October 2016 At the game tomorrow, the feckers best out a shift in and not give easy fooking goals away

Because they won't. Zaha will start. And Gray might be all that, but their RB Ward is decent, and Zaha can put in a tackle too.

I've never known anybody to want to fill a Leicester team with defenders so much since Megson played about 6 right backs every game haha.

the fox Posted 21 October 2016 Posted 21 October 2016 Top banter!!. It will be funny to see some "old fashioned" Leicester fans wanting islam to do better than christian. That will be some bitter sweet taste for them. hehe

UPinCarolina Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 I had a couple of pints tonight and got a good feeling about a Leicester game for the first time since Porto. 3-1 City, Vardy brace. Probably wrong, almost certainly so - but I'll let the porter push the keys.

We have 2 CBs that can't pass. 1 limited fullback. 1 CM that doesn't know what is going on. A LW that thinks the ball is a bomb. A player that can't stay on his feet to save his life. And two strikers with below average feet. you will make tony pulis look like guardiola. Smh Edit: this monstrosity of a formation should be forbidden
surrifox Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 We should win but suspect a draw at best - it feels like we don't know our best team ATM - or perhaps I just spend too much time on Foxestalk and CR has it sorted but his public utterances suggest not
Chico1958 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Two wins on the trot would be nice. But a draw looks on the cards, obviously I hope I'm wrong.

After Shinji has disrupted their build up, after Albrighton, Fuchs, Amartey and Simpson have pinned them wide, and Morgan and Huth have collected the cross, then they can feed Drinky, at which point Vardy, Shinji and Slimani will be rushing towards. The way we scored last season, basically, but now with Slimani's hold up play and height, using Shinji as a disruptor to their central build up play, which has ruined us til now.

We shouldn't try to be. Morgan and Huth didn't pass last season. We didn't ask them too. We instead protected them, lured teams out wide, and then went on the counter. Drinky is how we did it last season. I think we should do the same with this. The only other decent passer we had last season was Mahrez. And now without Kante protecting the centre backs, it's now even more difficult to allow for his limited defensive skills, unless he can grow into the CAM role.
CosbehFox Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Please win. Don't let that t**t Pardew act all smug
filbertway Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 First time in a looong time I've woken up on a match day and not thought we could win it. Very interested to see today's line up and how we play. Hopeful as ever but not expectant.
Tuna Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 1-3 I think Benteke will bully our defenders again and we'll be unable to cope. Mahrez penalty for us, Benteke, Townsend and Dann for them.
sly1 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Season starts now boys c,mon let's get up that table we are the champions.
lgfualol Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Based on our league form I think it'll be a draw at best. I could see us losing about 2 nil, we just don't create enough chances and our defence will be bombarded today. It depends on whether we stick with our out of form players and maybe kick the ball to each other and not their players. Townsend worldy and Benteke penalty incoming.
