Albrighton, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs

Amartey, Mendy, King

Mahrez

Gray, Ulloa

 

harsh on Okazaki, but Ulloa would feed off Albrightons crosses.

The good news is, 3 in midfield away from home means the defenders get an afternoon off lol not rocket science! 

 

Scrappy winner would be nice 

Posted

Professional away performance thus far. System seems to be effecting Boros game, admittedly we lack Vardys pace but if we can nick a goal were set up nicely as a shape. Amartey gets more confident each week.

Posted

Playing ok - mahrez has been a bit too selfish at times. I'd get Musa or grey on in for okazaki.

 

Shout out to their fans for whining about madley picking them up on their dirty play.

Tell you what get some pace on here, Musa, Gray we could do these easy me thinks.

Space is there for us, those two just can't exploit it.

I lost track of time so just got the stream up and running - commentators don't seem that enthralled so sounds like I was probably better doing what I was doing anyway.

Posted

Boro are shocking... can't string a pass together. I'd bring on Musa for Leo and GRay on for King. No point having Leo on when none of our players can cross, may as well hit Em on the counter

 

Mendy

Amartey

 

Gray

Okazaki

Mahrez

 

Musa

Looks just like a bottom of the table dog fight unfortunatly. Gray to replace Okazaki and give us some pace going foward. Ulloa to stay on to hold the ball up and knock it on.

If plan A was to stifle them, it has worked, but we are a bit toothless going forward.

 

I hate to say it, but Christian Fuchs has had the anti Midas touch so far.  I love the guy, but it is just not working out for him.

 

Defensively, he is getting done, and offensively, nothing is coming off.

 

Hope it picks up for him 2nd half.

I actually think some pace would help keep traore further back too

Marhez our 1-man attacking force :trumpet:

If we are going to win it's going to be because of something he does. But you know what, there were numerous occasions like this last year when we had games like this and Riyad stepped up. 

 

I'm sure Gray will come on at some point too so we can still nick it. 

 

We were the better team in that half, time to build from here!

Posted

This really looks like a championship match, very little quality being shown.

 

Leo looked knackered after 15 mins, up our game and add width and pace second half and three points are there for the taking.

 

come on boys

Posted

Started OK then started sitting too deep Fabio was getting far too much space, certainly no classic need to step it up in the second half otherwise this will be a missed opportunity for 3 points.

Posted

It seems like Mahrez is playing up front and Okazaki in the hole. I think if those chances in the box for Mahrez had fell to Okazki he'd have scored. Ought to swap them around for at least a short while.

Posted

Maybe I'm going mad but I'm happy-ish with that half.

 

We've not been great but looked solid, players look up for it and have been mostly neat and tidy. The fullbacks look exposed when they get wide but we're bossing it in the middle. Kingy and Mendy looking solid if unspectacular.

 

Defo 3 points for the taking here though. Really hope Ranners goes for it second half.

Posted

Hope we get some pace upfront,maybe musa 4 shinzi and gray on the wing.upfront feels like we have 50yr old aged players there.

Posted

Ulloa is so bad at dribbling. Almost every time he runs with it he over runs it and ends up getting in a tangle of legs with an opposing player! It's infuriating to watch. 

 

The performance has been poor from everyone first half. The passing is woeful. Why on earth we are trying tight intricate passes when the midfield is packed is beyond me. Ranieri needs to open this up and change something to allow us more space and time on the ball. 

Posted

Musa needs to come on upfront/on the wing, if he can't get a game with no vardy or Slimani then why did we buy him?

 

Get pace on and stretch their makeshift defence, why Ranieri didn't see this from the start I don't know!

 

Boro are poor and they have made a lot of changes, they are there for the taking, we have just set up with a bank of 9 and Mahrez having to take on a whole defence.
