So I reiterate, how will 2 supposedly injured players pass medicals at respective club interest by 11ish pm. Is that not a requirement of fifa and your high horse?

Technically a player doesn't have to pass a medical, most clubs just have them to make sure they're not paying for broken goods.

I think there's a few examples of players signing for clubs when injured.

1 that I remember is Kim kallstrom signing for arsenal even with a back injury.

Oh yeah, there's a game tonight. 

The soap opera that's been occurring since friday night has been so much better than actual football.

 

What a bobbins set of circumstances to be taking into a game tonight. 

I really hope the players don't take things as personally as we do on here. 

 

Gray is going to have a an absolute blinder against the defenders, Andre, not Demarai. 

No new defenders means the same line up, unless we take a gamble on Benny, but I really can't see Claudio making the choice between dropping Huth or Morgan without dropping them both and then do that what? put Ndidi in? that would be silly. 

 

So I can see the default back four lining up, although perhaps Chilwell replacing Fuchs, which makes sense on current form. 

Then In front of that leaky bucket, for me, its like telling a kid "play what you want" 

 

I just hope there are no starting places for Okazaki and Vardy. 

I'd start Musa and have Mahrez play behind him. 

For the rest of the positions, hold a raffle.

Can't see anything but another loss here unless our try to win attitude squad turn up !!

Spot on mi old son!

If we got there tonight and set up to try to eke out a draw by playing three DM's, I think I'm going to cry.

We need the points and should play Burnley tonight at least trying to win the game.

I'm not sure I could stomach another very few shots on goal, two nil to the opposition type game.

Neither team have much quality, so will come down to who works the harder and gets a lucky break or two. 

 

Mahrez unfortunately has never travelled well, and looks like Slimani is still injured, so we will be very reliant on Vardy having a good game and perhaps Drinky too. 

 

Both have been well off form all season, but surely that will begin to change soon, so hopefully tonight is the night!

 

A win will certainly boost us all, after what looks like being a very disappointing transfer window.

Trying to figure out how we should set up for this. If we go 4-4-2, they will outwork us and most likely beat us.

 

Their 4-4-2 will be quite rigid, and the way to win will be to get between their lines. Has to be 4-2-3-1.

 

Schmeichel

 

Simpson

Morgan

Huth

Chilwell

 

Ndidi

Mendy

 

Albrighton

Mahrez

Gray

 

Vardy

Posted

I think he'll pick....

 

Kasper

 

Fuchs

Huth

Morgan

Simpson

 

Albrighton

Drinkwater

One of: Ndidi / King / Mendy

Mahrez

 

Vardy

Okazaki

Posted

We'll lose 1-0 with no shots on target.

 

Cue Ranieri post match 'pleased with the performance' 'we must fight' etc.

Posted

**** it! Positive hat on, we are due an away win and they are due a home defeat. 1-2 :scarf:

 

I think he'll go:

 

Kasper

Simpson

Huth

Morgan

Fuchs

 

Mahrez

Mendy

Drinkwater

Albrighton

 

Gray

Vardy

Disagree with Vardy, but's that's the team for me. Musa for Vardy and no Drinkwater owing to his face.

Right..enough of this transfer nonsense. Time to focus on getting some points.

 

Kasper

 

Simpson

Huth

Morgan

Chilwell

 

Mahrez

Ndidi

Drinkwater

Albrighton

 

Gray

Vardy

Last seasons team but with Ndidi. Give him a chance for a few weeks to be our new Kante. 

I agree give him the chance in a 442 - but Chilwell for Fuchs. And maybe gray in the hole instead of Shinji. And maybe Musa up top instead of Vardy.

Surely 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 is the sensible way to approach this game.

 

Kasper

 

Simpson            Morgan            Huth             Chilwell

 

 

Mahrez          Drinky              Ndidi               Albrighton

 

Gray

 

 

Musa

 

Lets mix it up a bit. Give Musa a chance whilst Vardy is not performing and give Gray a free roam role. I've never been a fan of Mahrez behind the striker and think he is far more effective on the wing.

 

I wouldn't even mind seeing Gray in Albrightons position and King behind Musa. I could see King getting on the score sheet just sitting outside the box whilst Mahrez and Gray bombed forward.

Things do have a weird habit of going our way at this place. I am strangely optimistic. This is the night we take a turn for the better. Come the fvck on.

This time last year we beat Liverpool 2-0 at home, with Vardy scoring a spectacular goal, to maintain a three-point gap at the top of the Prem.

 

This year we're away at Burnley desperate for three points in our fight against relegation.

 

It's always been a rollercoaster ride being a City fan but I never expected this.

 

I'm really afraid for tonight.
