Vocey Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 After the statement from owners yesterday I think claudio has abit of a free hit tonight. If he changes the team and loses he can say he had to focus on Sunday. If he changes the team and we win he suddenly has some players with a little bit of form to pick. Im strangely confident we will win tonight, 2-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's possible...? I hope so too. I'd rather us play kids and fringe players that are hungry to make an impression than the usual lot that are under-performing and always getting picked. It has potential to backfire, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 At this moment there is no such thing as a weakened team. Unless we play the under 23s and even that's debatable. Be fuming if we go out and Derby or millwall draw someone like Middlesbrough in the quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les-tah Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 2 hours ago, Merging Cultures said: Very different players. It's all a bit horses for courses. If we are looking to attack, then Gray every time. If we are looking to protect a lead (hahahahahaha!!!) then Albrighton. Gray will unlock defences and provide opportunities, Albrighton will track back, but his crosses are ineffective at the moment (especially with Slim injured and Ulloa in a mardy). Yeah i agree. :luckily we cant can train Gray to help out the defense and track back better BUT we cant train Albrighton to be a better attacker .

Ted Maul Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 So, a weakened side... Schmeichel Simpson Amartey Benalouane Chilwell Albrighton Mendy King Gray Ulloa (is he fit yet?) Musa Something along those lines? Probably be more confident with that than the usual 11 to be honest, might actually show a bit of desire to win.

Mark_w Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 I see the BBC are proving to be about as competent as us with their preview. Leicester's only win so far in 2017 came in the last round of the FA Cup against West Brom (D2, L4). Their only goals of 2017 have also been in the Cup, scoring twice against both the Baggies and Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocey Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 Ulloa, Slimani and Morgan all unavailable. I fear we will see the return on the vardy & musa partnership. Id go Kasper Simpson Amartey Benny Chilwell Albrighton Mendy Ndidi Kapustka Gray Musa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wdywd Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 Based on nothing I'm starting to think Wasilewski is gonna play tonight. As much as I fear the Morgan/Huth dream team now, I'm not sure how a Was/Benny CB pairing will make me feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcsnow Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 I know Benalouane has been a sub recently but I can't see how he can be considered for this game, when was his last game for u23s? Has he refused to play for them like Ulloa? If so, forget playing tonight. Our lack of centre back options is unforgivable really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countryfox Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 Financial consequences of the drop .... Huge game against Swansea coming up ... No confidence in the manager ... blah blah blah, yeah yeah yeah !!! Understand all that, but for me ... we gotta beat those Shaggers !!! This is what football is all about ... a bit of excitement, a bit of rivalry, and a bit of glory ! (Tasted some last season and I love it !). Will be mightily fvcked off if we lose ... especially to those b@stards !! (P.S. You don't need to point out I'm wrong ... I know most will probably disagree with me).

We definitely need someone to lead the line and get the ball to stick as there's nothing at the minute. Teams drop so deep on us and with very little of the ball we aren't causing any problems in the opposition half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zealot Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 I'd love to see this game used as a trial run for Amartey in the centre of defence. Either Amartey-Morgan or Amartey-Huth. You can't change too much all at once. Probably Amartey-Huth would be best to give big Wes a rest. Our title win last year was built on clearance headers and blocks from Morgan and Huth and they've been dreadful from crosses this season so that's hardly going to be weakened. The problem is that they keep getting beaten for pace and maneuverability time and time again. That's where Amartey should be able to help. Especially, if they have Mendy and Ndidi sitting in front of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwichfox Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 Just wondering who CR will name as captain IF he drops Morgan...I can't really look beyond Kasper, but I suspect that either DD or Fuchs will be captain for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 Hoping a win tonight will be a springboard for the rest of the season, score some goals, win the game, gain some confidence back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmarteyAndChill Posted 8 February 2017 Share Posted 8 February 2017 11 hours ago, HoustonFox said: If Kapi, Mahrez and Gray play I think Kapi would play left mid. Really not a fan of Albrighton at RB. Can't defend well enough except as a winger helping out his full back. Jeff Schlupp anyone? Is this more an anyone but Simpson? Agree with the rest though - prefer Huth to Morgan to pair with Big Dan I'd rest Simpson for Swansea. Derby will rest player and I assume we will have a lot of the ball. Albrighton may be more comfortable getting forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
