DelBoy73 Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 I just put a tenner on us to nick this one; bookies set us a 4/1 underdog to win, so basically cross fingers and hope for Mahrez's magic to happen.
The People's Hero Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Would have liked to have seen another partnership trialled up front. Okazaki and musa or Okazaki and gray ? Hope mahrez and albrighton on the 'correct' wings today even if it's a case of keep swapping
Bazly Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Last year the team picked itself. Same starting line up pretty much every week. This year the only ones who are automatic at this stage of the season are Schmeichel, Fuchs, Huth, Morgan, Simpson, Drinkwater, Mahrez and even worse, the only ones that have a justified automatic places this season are Schmeichel and Fuchs. That's why we are bad, really bad. Half our starting must play line up is injured.. The entire team is shot, thank god for the fantastic spirit.

EDIT; just noticed the forward slash in between Vardy/Slimani. The squad isn't playing well in their natural positons, why do you think they'll play better out of position?

jim5000 Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Playing two out and out strikers, with our terrible midfield, against Man City. No Shinji, no dropping Vardy or Silmani and adding Mendy or Gray to midfield. It's almost criminal by Ranieri.
China Black Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Got to at least believe that Leicester can produce the performance that shows the world why they won the Premier League last season. C'mon U Foxes!!!

I agree with the first part although he could have moved albrighton into the middle at a push. i can't agree with the second!

Could even drop albrighton into central midfield and play Gray. Claudio /shakes_fist

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Come on let's get behind the team and cheer them on to a good result
lifted*fox Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Just seen a massive 40ft tanker turn up outside the stadium. Pretty sure its carrying enough lube for everyone inside the stadium to get adequately moistened up for the massive ****ing we are about to receive.

C'mon U Foxes!!! We won because we still had the best defensive midfielder in the country in our squad, because opposing teams weren't tripling on Mahrez yet, because Vardz was clinical while this season he couldn't hit a barndoor to save his life, because time had not yet caught on Wes & Huth 's legs.
limeydale Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 11 minutes ago, The Doctor said: The lack of confidence is pretty justified. we've been shit in recent weeks and this is the lineup that has been the problem. King doesn't work in a two, slimani and Vardy doesn't work as a partnership, Morgan and huth aren't coping without the support from kante last season (and Wasyl in the greatest escape). All things that need to change (and requires a change in formation) but there's no sign that the coaching staff even acknowledge the existence of these problems if we're just sticking with it. Obviously we're all missing the master plan for this season because we know Ranieri and staff are not incompetent and these players are champions. I just have to believe Ranieri is out foxing all of us.
norwichfox Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 I've just woke up from a nap after thinking I'd just watched the aftermatch interview with Claudio saying, "it's all my fault, the dream has faded to a nightmare it didn't work this season and that is why I have resigned. I wish the team well for the future"

MCFC Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 MCFC fan (again). -I'm happy with our team selection, but a lot of our fans don't really like Navas or Fernando. I rate them both. -Ranieri's team selection puzzles me a bit and he seems to be stubborn with regards to changing the team up. -Relieved Okazaki isn't starting to be honest. My favourite Leicester player though. -City's away record this season is brilliant but I'm not expecting a domination. It'll be close, in scoreline if not in possession. -Obviously I want to back my own team so I'm going 2-1 to MCFC.

urban.spaceman Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 Can't believe he keeps dropping Kanté after what happened last season.

Guest Danny Clender Posted 10 December 2016 Posted 10 December 2016 28 minutes ago, AKCJ said: Nothing that fits the players we've got. The back four have only ever had success with a 4 back formation (barring Morgan's short time in a 5 back), Mahrez has only ever been any good at right mid, Vardy has only ever had success with a partner. We need midfielders. We've got two that are properly fit and they're abysmal footballers. We're just going to have to ride it out til Mendy is up to speed and Drinkwater is back. Zieler Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs Amartey Mahrez Mendy King Albrighton Slimani Could that work?
