Defending is important, but why shouldn't we have them fear OUR wingers and replace Zaha with someone more defensive?

True, I get your point.

Mixed views on this on the another thread.#

 

Maybe a bit of ignorance or just posturing from the safety of the bedroom PC.

 

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?

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.

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.

Are you related to Gary Megson? 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.

UEFA wouldn't give permission to do it nor would they allow the wearing of black armbands

Top banter!!:P. It will be funny to see some "old fashioned:ph34r:" Leicester fans wanting islam to do better than christian. That will be some bitter sweet taste for them. hehe

This is a defensive team. How in the world are you going to score with this?

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.

How many players in that formation that can actually pass. 2-3. 4 max. 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

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

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're not a terrific passing team. 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.

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.

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.

Posted

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.
