Derby Match Thread

It's interesting to note that with the exception of Albrighton, each player has played for their national team at either U21 or full international level. I think I'm correct?

Exactly there are some idiots on here  

 

if if we played Vardy drinkwater Morgan simpson fuchs we would of lost

I'm more hopeful in this lineup in honesty, if our first team did the job right the first time round we wouldn't be here anyway

Fvcks sake. We've been dog shit for weeks, give the boys a chance before you start all you doom & gloom.

Even if we win tonight he'll not start this team against Swansea. 10 changes is pointless.

[cityfanlee23]

FINALLY! 
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY!

Morgan Finally gets a rest after 85 consecutive games and 99/100 

We got back to basics with 2x cbs with something to prove who will try their heart out,

Kaputska gets a run out after being treated pretty poorly. 

 

All of this may end in a defeat, but by christ im optimistic now Ranieri has had the guts to drop that defence for a rest. 

If we lose and lose trying I will be happy, really not fussed about the FA cup this season, BRING IT ON.

FINALLY.

I wouldn't do that, Musa cost £16m, our eleven cost considerably less?

Hopefully I'll see you outside. I'll be the one bouncing around in my Reebok Classics and Stone Island Jumper

Surely it would make more sense to play a strong team in the FA cup and a weakened one in the CL if they need a rest. We've got a good chance in the Fa cup and absolutely no hope in the champions league  

[MPH]

I dont get some people. 

 

 

 

Moan when people are under-performing and moan when they are replaced....

or some sort of shit

Good shout there. Any other system would look shaky to say the least. 

[Detroit Blues]

Glad our main starters can get some rest for a really important premier league match against Swansea. Ranieri is clearly putting the priority on that game. Our 2nd squad should be able to handle Derby's second squad. Hopefully we can do it in 90 minutes as well.

wow 1986, i'll be wearing a pink tutu.

[oxtonfox]

OFFS!  we are going to get mullered by Derby reserves. If not who bar Slim will take a pen? Will spend 70 mins introducing ourselves giving ball away by which time we're long out of this comp .

Thanks boss.

[ealingfox]

People know managers talk to each other before games don't they?

 

He's made that many changes because he knew Mclaren would be making loads too, he hasn't just chanced it thinking he'd chuck some mugs into the frying pan.

It's still our second string squad... Transfer fee doesn't determine pecking order in the squad.

Literally cannot be worse than the previous. 

I was really hoping never to see Was in a city shirt again - if his slowness isn't going to cost us Im certain his ill judged brutality will

It's not that. Don't care that they're not in.

 

It's the fact that the few who are performing (Kasper, N'didi) haven't been included.

And what, if he plays them and they get injured?

What is more important to you: a decent cup run,

or avoiding relegation?

Just do your best boys

Haha, fair point, I can only hope his passion will show the boys on the bench what they should be doing, he's commanding to say the least. 

Im 100% happy Morgan has been dropped, 85 consecutive games and 99/100 is hard for anyone, the rest will do him good.

I can't believe what I'm reading. People moaning about not playing the 'strongest' team, and yet moan like **** when Ranieri doesn't ring the changes after every defeat this season. The man can't win.

Exactly because people have made their minds up about Ranners so whatever side he picks they will find fault regardless 

Agree entirely with you both. doesn't matter what he does he is wrong. I only hope City play well and that it gives the club a lift. Come on the Foxes !

Whatever the score and result, I'll say it before the game being the honest bloke I am....on paper, that looks a bloody awful side!

There, said it..

Albrighton played eight games for England u21s.

[mozartfox]

Does this mean the Donkey Squad are being saved for Swansea?  If so, this is inexcusable by CR.
