Recommended Posts

Let's see just how poor we look with a midfield of King and Amartey !

 

Drinkwater to be charged for the elbow on Saturday against Watford by the FA tomorrow morning.

Hope Nugent gets a good reception.

hmmm, celebrating making the knock outs of champions league but worrying about a home game v middlesbrough at the weekend.........

Boro would piss all over Brugge.

 

Without DD the midfield will be non existent.

Struggling to see past a Boro win, especially if Drinky is missing. They look like they've got an idea how to play decent football and create chances.

Point would be good without DD. That Adama lad will have good fun with our defenders and if Nugent plays he will score.

 

I'd be interested in

 

Zieler

Simpson Morgan Hernandez Fuchs

Mahrez Amartey King Musa

Gray/Okazaki Slimani

 

Or if no Slim Jim

 

Zieler

Simpson Morgan Huth Schlupp

Gray Amartey King Albrighton

Vardy Mahrez

 

But I imagine it will be

Best we can hope for is a draw. Boro impressed me against Chelsea if they play like they did against them, then it will be an easy afternoon for them.

 

If we're without Drinky then we don't stand a chance.

Unfortunately there's no chance he will start with Kapustka. Hindsight a wonderful thing but I think Inler would have been playing week in week out if we'd kept him. Tactics for Saturday have got to be bypass the midfield completely when going forward and press fast and furious from the front when not in possession.

  • Leicester City haven’t beaten Middlesbrough in the Premier League since a 3-0 victory in November 2000, drawing two and losing three since.
  • However, Middlesbrough are without a win in their last 12 league clashes with Leicester (D6 L6); their longest current winless streak against any team.
  • Jamie Vardy has scored in all three of his previous starts against Middlesbrough in league competition (three goals scored).
  • Claudio Ranieri is unbeaten in each of his last seven Premier League contests versus Middlesbrough (W4 D3), this after losing his first managerial meeting with them in the top-flight in December 2000.

The players are off today

 

the first opportunity they have to prepare for this tactically and in training is tomorrow 

 

Last year they would have been two days ahead of this and it showed in the performances 

 

not hopeful, especially without the man who makes us tick going in both directions
