Leamington Fox Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 Today's team sheet will be so telling as to whether the Tinkerman is actually afraid to tinker with the starting XI. It seems clear from Twitter that Benny is not even in the squad, which I must say is baffling. On balance, I would not throw him straight into CD, but he seemed a definite for the bench for me. I suppose it is possible that this signifies Huth being dropped to the bench with Amartey coming in next to Morgan. We will see...
Jay123 Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 How can you choose who too drop between high and Morgan there both as shit as each other
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 17 minutes ago, WigstonWanderer said: It was noticeably a different style of play for the Derby match right from the off, though it did degenerate back to hoofball for parts of the first half. However, for a group of players new to playing with each other I thought they gelled pretty well by the end. Of course all this is tempered by the quality of the opposition. Nevertheless I thought it was encouraging. I'm hoping Claudio is working towards a better style of play as the style up to now is as ineffective as it is unentertaining. Level of opposition doesnt matter. If you keep the ball on the floor and moving as we did for the most part against Derby, you stand a better chance. Every time Was or Benny got the ball, they looked for a short pass rather than long. Wes and Huth are the opposite and I really hope that partnership isnt re-instated today.
Crazy Kop Corner Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 I'd drop Huth. He's been terrible all season. Realistically he won't drop Wes. I'd like to see Amartey at centre half. Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Amartey Chilwell Albrighton Drinkwater Ndidi Grey Mahrez Slimani Vardy and Musa off the bench potentially

foxfanazer Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 I really feel like this is it. Lose and I just can't see how we'll survive. The most nervous I've felt before a game in a long while

surrifox Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 Looking for signs of progress and improvement - scoring a goal and conceding less than 3 would be a step in the right direction

I'd be surprised to even see Gray start. But don't forget, you wanted him to stay as manager. But don't forget, only 26% on here voted for him to stay as manager on the latest poll Col

foxes21 Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 imo we need an attacking right back for this, to help create space for Mahrez. Amartey with his athleticism could do this, as could Albrighton.

Gazza M Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 9 hours ago, WigstonWanderer said: I think Ranieri said in a recent interview that he owes last season's players everything for giving him a title, something he has never achieved before.He also said prior to the Derby match that he was resting key players because "they weren't very good" (I think he meant that they were knackered). Coupled with the tweets, etc, I think we can assume that he will stick as near as he can (injuries permitting) with the usual suspects. With the emergence of Ndidi, he probably thinks that he has found his Kante replacement, and that last season's heroes will suddenly click back to how they were. Last season Huth and Morgan were magnificent. This season their constant hoofing is causing the team to play in a completely one-dimensional way, bypassing midfield entirely. The ball is then collected by opposing defenders and comes straight back. I have however detected some improvement in recent months. Earlier on we were conceding 4 goals per game, this has recently been reduced to 3. Its sentimental s**t like this that is the problem. I don't think Claudio can see any bad in them.

Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Amartey Chilwell Albrighton Drinkwater Ndidi Grey Mahrez Slimani Vardy and Musa off the bench potentially On balance, this my preferred team too. Simpson may be injured and Amartey would be the obvious replacement. Not sure what happens then in CD.
dayday Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 I very much doubt Ranieri will drop both CBS, what I would like to see is Chilwell at left back, Amartey RB and Benlouane in for Morgan. With Chilwell and Amartey as full backs we have full backs that can get up the field, this will help the midfield no end especially Mahrez who can concentrate more on attacking rather than his defensive duties. I doubt this will happen though, as I think Ranieri will stick with his usual team hoping they can turn it around after all the publicity this week.
Max Power Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 Surely if Amartey at centre back was some sort of plan he'd have played there on Wednesday rather than 120 minutes at full back. Itll be same back four and hoof city im afraid. Hope Slimani is fit to start and Gray plays
Skippy Posted 12 February 2017 Posted 12 February 2017 Play freaking anybody apart from these clowns - Huth, Wes, DrinkySminky, Simpson, then we might stand a chance
