Copenhagen match thread

[Russell sprout]

We've got to utilise the squad as much as possible,

it's a catch 22,

claudio's dammed if he does dammed if he don't,

if we play our best 11 tonight and lose Sunday,

you will be cursing his decision,

and vise versa,

lets give it some perspective and ask ourselves would we ever have thought we would be going into this game 5 points clear,

knowing we haven't got to win this game,

its a marathon not a sprint as they say

 

[foxes21]

schlupp is not even good at defending. If we are planning to get bodies behind the ball, then he will just drift out of position and ruin our shape.

[limeydale]

Is it freezing there? In the u19 match they said freezing conditions.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

If we drop Shinji then I hope someone is going to tactically play a similar role. He has made a massive difference in the space between midfield and defence. Please no hoofball, it was dire 1st half at the King Power.

[Bazly]

Its an interesting midfield for sure. Could go one of two ways. Lets hope Vardy does something like score tonight.

[Vindaloo FOX]

King really should be starting . 

[FireFox]

Glad to see Hernandez playing. Simpson overrated imo.

Dont want Musa up front. He's had two goals from the left. It's just a shame Schlupp has so much pace but you just know we'll do a counter attack and he'll get overwhelmed by the noise and fall over.

I started howling when I read that

Kasper

Hernandez, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs

Schlupp, Drinkwater, Amartey, Musa

Mahrez

Vardy

I hope that's it. Not sure it will be though. I think Mahrez in a free role might reignite his form. This season he's been pretty average by his standards.

Is this on bt sport.. freeview?

[tyfox]

I fu*king hate Owen , FOAD

[Monk]

Michael Owen can fck off! Slating Vards like that. 'Not a natural finisher'?

[trabuch]

Michael Owen - you awful little man.

The manager said Oka is dropped to the bench because he is knackered.

[fuchsntf]

Oh ye of little faith...!!! 

 

Everyone of you, now stand back and enjoy your pessimism.

I am going to watch on sky go and do my optimistic fred impersonations..

Had a groin strain and missed saturdays game so i'd imagine its the same for today...

Oh ok cool, thanks for letting me know. 

 

I just thought saturday was tactical because of Champions League this week  I saw pictures of him on the plane so thought he was playing tonight but can see why not with a groin injury

[mrgarrison16]

Did BT just show Vardy's goal against Swansea in August as an example of his 'confident shooting' last season....

He is just a power finisher

[Izzy]

WTF is Michael Owens problem with us? Can't help himself in having a few little digs. 

[trabuch]

I don't think we'll play hoofball. Not with that lineup. Hope I'm right! Before a ball is kicked I am convinced we will win this comfortably - and Vardy MUST score a beautiful deft goal to make Owen look stupid.

[DelBoy73]

Minus Schlupp, that is our best starting 11 available. Jeff is one of those fella that makes me loose any belief in humankind.

I hope Claudio knows what he's up to.

He spunks his pants when we lose. I hate him.

[EnderbyFox]

Hope he proves me wrong but Schlupp should be playing in the Championship not the Champions League.. 

[crazyleicester]

As someone who put £300 on Leicester to win at 5/2 yesterday, I am feeling a little concerned LOL. I thought we would name an unnamed side with that solidity of a 451 with King and Oka definitely starting. To say Im a little concerned would be an understatement PMSL!!

 

Looking forward. CR has made some great managerial calls this season. Regarding the much battered Jeff, he did look alright last time out. We know what he has and what he hasnt got but he will work hard for us. He has got pace to burn and the belief CR has shown in him may get him to have one of his good days. Musa playing is a good move IMO although the possible positional change is interesting. Is he playing in the Slimani role or in Okazakis role? Are we going 433 instead?! We will soon know about that. Playing Amartey again may well be a masterstroke to unleash him on his former club. He will want to show them how much he has moved on thats for sure and we have seen glimpses of his ability. Then there is Hernandez. That one for me is strange. Simpson is playing close to England call up football in recent weeks. He is decent in the air so maybe we need more aerial assistance at set pieces as they have some big strikers but his long throw wont be as useful without Slimani.

 

In Claudio I trust, lets hope its another master stroke of a team selection. If not, the kids dont eat and the holiday next year will be cancelled
