Tuna Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 How about a bit of a leftfield approach. 4-2-3-1 Kasper, Simpson, Morgan, huth and Fuchs. Ndidi and amartey holding. Drinky in the no. 10 role with Gray and mahrez either side, vards up top. I'd like to see drinkwater further up the pitch. Amartey and Ndidi can compensate for the lack of pace in the back four. Drinky closer to vardy= goals. Come on, something different.
Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Hope the board are scrutinizing these team selection posts. I thinks there's new manager potential lurking amoungst them
Gerard Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 23 minutes ago, Babylon said: I hate all the "not trying talk" anyone who had ever worked for someone that is making mistakes, confusing and just not a great man manager will know how much it can drag you down. You might not mean to be under performing, but if things aren't right it can alter everything. Exactly this, working for someone who doesn't inspire and you have no confidence in their judgement can drag you down subconsciously. I don't believe the players aren't trying but have understandably switched off a couple of percent because they have no faith in the leadership, its perfectly natural.

stu Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Henderson out apparently. Good news as he makes their team tick. Hope we can take advantage of it. Formation will be key tonight I think.

AjcW Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 I have a bit of a curveball, now last season Vardy earned the right to play up front, both for ourselves and England. This season he's done no such thing (Goal Wednesday aside) Would anyone entertain a Vardy Slim Gray/Mahrez trio? I'm thinking a Conte style, just in case Shakey does decide to revert to a back 3 a la great escape. Huth - Amartey - Morgan Albrighton - Ndidi - Drinky - Chilwell Vardy - Slim - Gray/Mahrez An Alternative that would copy the great escape system Huth - Amartey - Morgan Albrighton - Ndidi - Drinky - Chilwell Mahrez Vardy - Slimani
Merging Cultures Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 When I went home at lunchtime, my 3 year old had his Leicester shirt on. That's a good omen!!

Lcfcrory Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 I'd like to see a few changes particularly at the back although I still can't see it happening schmeichel simpson Amartey Benny Chilwell Ndidi Drinky mahrez Kapustka Gray Slim (if fit)
maddog Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Stop Mane, do not give him room to breathe and for fox sake track his runs. Kind of wish Schlupp was still here I would have got him to use his pace to man mark Mane all match. Relying on Ndidi to stop him really, if he gets a run at our back four we are in trouble. He's by far their most dangerous attacking player if we can stop him tonight we have a chance to nick a point.

Yeah, Schlupp would have been the man to concentrate on this role and carry it out to the letter. Sure thing.

Good to get some early news about team selection. Owners sending their helicopter to pick him up, I presume.
Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 I think we have to hope for improvement tonight, in reality it'll be a very tough game and primarily i want to see a change in attitude. If that brings a result then bonus, but at least a performance will raise some confidence to face the remainder of the season.

That would have been some watch, he was barely capable of realising his own position at times. I don't think we'll see too many changes tonight, sure Shaky will just say to them it's time to prove yourselves, now go do it.
AmarteyAndChill Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 We need to camp on our 18 yard box. Frustrate them. Make them start putting balls in the box. Hopefully both of their full backs push on leaving their two CBs isolated. Pack the midfield. Hull/Swansea and Burnley have all done this a won the game.

Sure thing. More trusted to concentrate on tracking a man than having the football and you wouldn't be sacrificing Jeff's 'attacking threat' by giving him a defensive mission. Mane is lightning fast, Jeff is lightning fast that's why I'd match them up. I fear Ndidi/Drinkwater won't be able to protect our back four from Mane at all. And if our aging slow back four aren't protected we're in deep trouble. Its a shame Kante isn't here I'd put him on Mane all game as my first choice Am I speculating about playing one Chelsea player, or one Crystal Palace player to stop Mane tonight against Leicester!?!? Yes I bloody am.
