Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Confidence will be up after the last 2 wins, I don't think we'll beat Spurs but I reckon we can grab a point there.
st albans fox Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 I expect to see vardy start instead of slim for next Saturday, assuming his groin is recovered. Kingy has a record of the odd hamstring which tends to take several weeks to get back from so it may have to amartey and drinks in the middle. albrighton likely to come back in for musa. Just possible that Claudio may play gray instead of Riyad but that would be reminiscent of Chelsea if he doesn't start either slim or Riyad.

I think Okazaki is better suited to spurs away, than Copenhagen. Copenhagen I think we'll need a physical presence to partner Vardy. Either Ulloa or Slimani, they'll help with defending set pieces too.
Foxxed Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Slimani Mahrez Shinji Musa Drinky Albrighton Fuch Huth Morgan Simpson Or have Slimani and Vardy up front. This depends on Musa being good enough at tracking back and protecting the CBs.

Guest Col city fan Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Copenhagen.... a championship equivalent side Palace.... blow hot and cold Spurs... a proper test. NOW we see if we've learnt anything from our dire away performances.

I don't care who plays or how crap we are, just win it. It's not that I don't care how we win...it's that I really want to shithouse them. 89 minutes of backs to the wall defending and then a dodgy penalty to win 1-0 would be beautiful.
StriderHiryu Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 This is the game I'm dreading the most this season! They will be pumped for this match after last year (think about our performance vs Watford in the championship after "Deeney Day") and their fans are insufferable! Their team and manager is a very strong one and Ranieri has already said that the two Copenhagen games are our priority. I expect a loss with heavy rotation but I hope we have a good performance and don't concede a bucket load again. Once this his game is out of the way we have a much kinder set of fixtures, I expect we will really get up and running properly then.
Izzy Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Have Spurs got Liverpool midweek in the league cup? I might be making that up If so, I wonder if they'll play many of the first team? Not that it makes that much difference I suppose. I'd love it if we win there but I'd take a point every day of the week...
UPinCarolina Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 3-5-2 against Spurs, same formation as today against Copenhagen.
Foxxed Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Spurs do have Liverpool away on Tuesday. Still, it will be the biggest test yet. Even with Shinji disrupting their build-up, our CBs will need much more support.

Stevosevic Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Please defend to at least a half decent standard..... A win here would really get us going in the league. They've just had 3 straight draws this week so a small drop in form

Monsell1976 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Just don't embarrass us by not turning up, like before the previous champions league games. I cannot stand the cocky, deluded pricks, and will be gutted if they hammer us, Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea was hard to stomach, just cannot stomach us rolling over to these. Think we will get beat, as we are just not at it away this season, but we must give them a game.
weller54 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 One good thing. We don't have to put up with The Elephant Man dribbling if he had scored!... How can a man be so ugly with just one head?
drofmor56 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 They like to play with thier two fullbacks bombing forward down the wings.(Rose and Naughton)..wouldnt be surprised to see Albrighton back in the side to help counter this. Sissoko looks like he will be banned for this game, a big plus for us.
Aus Fox Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Be nice to finally get a full week off as a team, with no mid week game. A few players carrying knocks and strains but we can hopefully recover for another big test. Things we should have learnt and should be applied in this game. 1) We are a better team with Shinji in it linking the midfield and attack. 2) We are better defensively with Simpson at right back. 3) The King Drinkwater partnership appears to be the best we have at present. I can't see anything other than Kasper Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs Mahrez King Drinkwater ??? Okazaki Slimani The only position I am not 100% sure about now is on the left wing, with Albrighton defensively the best suited, especially with it being away. Musa being the better attacking option especially if Vardy doesn't start. And I love to watch Gray so not sure who he goes for here. After today Musa maybe just gets the nod

Gazza M Posted 23 October 2016 Posted 23 October 2016 With a full weeks rest I cant imagine the team being too different to the Palace team. Maybe Musa on the left and Marhez on the right will keep Walker and Rose back to protect their defence and away from our end of the pitch. Same 11 for me with possible changes for C/L after.
sylofox Posted 23 October 2016 Posted 23 October 2016 More than amy other game we need to win this and win it well. If we don't it is going to be one season wonders. Oh and as soon as you play a top side your sh1t. So come on lads get out there and fvcking smash em.
