Bernieboots76 Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 I assume looking at the team that the owners have told Ranieri that the league is what he will judged on and not the result of this match. The team selection should make make for a fun evening though?

What is more important to you: a decent cup run, or avoiding relegation? Both, they don't have to be mutually exclusive Aside from seeing Was playing for us again, I don't actually mind that side. Aside from a few regulars Derby seem to be resting a good few players. If Dimmy gray bags, Was gets booked and we win. I'm in the money!

It's the fact that the few who are performing (Kasper, N'didi) haven't been included. Yeah only 2 I agreed on but if I'm honest I pray they stay fit for Sunday. But in a way too me it feels like they've dropped Morgan for example to rest for the weekend. When in reality he needs dropping on performances for rest of season.
thursday_next Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 Both of the players that have scored for us so far this year have been left out.

Betcha. Personally, I just find that selection amusing. It should be a really open, very entertaining game full of chances I reckon. Well I'm going to say now I don't agree with the selection at all. I think we'll lose. We did a similar thing against Porto and got hammered so it's not as if the 'second team' really deserve a chance just because our first teamers have been shit. This season it really hasn't mattered which side we've picked, we've still been crap, and I don't think tonight will be any different, but this could be embarrassing if derby are up for it. I'm pleased to see Kapustka, Benny and Chilwell given a chance, and I'm not saying many of our current first team deserve a place but these are the wholesale changes that really devalue this competition. In a season of huge disappointment we really should be trying to take advantage of 2 ties against lower league opposition. Especially against Derby, and especially when so many performances have been so half-hearted. There's always an excuse for us putting out crap teams in the FA Cup, either we're trying to get promoted, trying to stave of relegation, trying to win the league, etc. I'm a bit sick of it tbh. Last season we have Ulloa up front on his own, which was bound to fail. This time we've only got Musa who, by my recollection, has played twice up front for us this season, at most. We've not even got Kasper in, who's been one of our better players. There's clearly no intention to win this match at all. I do seriously hope we win so we can have something positive to think about but I fully expect another limp, pointless performance. If I'm wrong at least you can't say I didn't nail my colours to the mast!

But you are right: he is always good for a straight red one.

walkerleeds Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 Happy with that team. Would liked to have Ndidi and King in the middle but Mendy gets another chance at least. 3-1 to Leicester.

AS78UK Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 Actually hoping for a goal fest 5-3 would be great entertainment. Think our defense is to weak, so banking on is out scoring them.

Beliall Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 Actually pleasantly surprised by that team selection, hope we smash them 4-5 nil and fingers crossed Ranieri has the balls to play them in the league
The Floyd Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 Nice line up. Especially lovely that Simpson isn't playing, I'm borderline allergic to his attempts at passing.
FrankieADZ Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 bit disappointed not to see Amartey at CB, but none of them players could do any worse than the 11 on Saturday and previous have

TrentFox Posted 8 February 2017 Posted 8 February 2017 Can't argue with his thinking. Clear line of thought. Except Zieler. Cannot reconcile that! Wager on 50% of their 'shots on target' being goals ?
