If Slim is back, I might be tempted for...wait for it...prepares for incoming...Albrighton over Gray, just for his crossing ability (although Demarai can do it well, when he looks up).

albrighton is better than gray anyway

In the conversation of resting players "For this reason I have to protect some players who are not very good" LM last night. 

Best quote I've heard from Ranieri in a long time.

If that's not honesty, then what is?

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).

I am not sure if some of these players are available, but I'd like to see some of the more established players rested (benched).

 

                     Schmeichel

Amartey - Wague - Huth - Chilwell

Kapustka - Ndidi - Mendy - Gray

              Slimani - Musa

Swap Amartey and Wague - Amartey is not RB, and was picked as a CB of the tournament for AFCON.

 

Albrighton or Mahrez for Kapi

 

I'd really play Vardy, he needs a goal and I have a feeling he will get it tomorrow.

Is Wague a RB? Or a CB that can also play RB? Anyway, I am happy with either, as long as we bench the others a bit.

 

I think we can bring on Marhez for Kapi (or the other way round), but he has to be hungry for a start and to get his name on the team sheet, which is more than some of the other players.

 

Meh, I am indifferent to Vardy. He isn't working hard enough to deserve a start. I read his book over Christmas, and he seems to be a player that needs an arm around his shoulder, but come on, you're being paid a fortune get it together, or get out.

I thought Wague is ineligible for tonights game anyway?

Imagine the scenes if we get benny to start today, praying for the lad! I'm looking forward to this game more than any other league game recently. Just because there will hopefully be changes.

Final preference for tonight, however I know we will probably set up more defensively. 

 

Schmeichel

Amartey Benaloune Huth Chilwell

Mahrez Ndidi Mendy Kapustka

Gray

Musa

 

May as well change it up. Okazaki & Vardy is awful to watch, Morgan & Huth is awful to watch, Simpson & Fuchs is awful to watch, etc.

Amartey needs to play CB or CM but who do we play at RB if we want to rest or drop Simpson? This Alex Pascanu from the academy has trained with our first team a lot this season but not sure if he's naturally a right back or has been moved there from the left this season. He's highly rated here and back in Romania at youth level.

God knows how many times it has to be said, Wague is not available tonight.....or Slimani..

At least do your homework guys before picking a team

Sounds like we may be fielding a weakened side tonight.......

Weakened team could be good in the sense it is time to try some alternatives to the usual lot like Drinky, Huth, Morgan etc. But tonight is a great chance to try something and start to build, so I hope they are treating it as such rather than a distraction.

 

An emphatic win tonight to build confidence for the weekend could be massive.

 

Would like to see us try Amartey at CB, and a midfield two of Mendy and Ndidi

Literally can't get any weaker. Taking out our biggest earners would probably give us the best chance. 

I do hope you're right and all this talk about playing the kids don't make us look even worse. If that's possible...?
