Number 6 Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 I know he's a bit of a hate figure, but one thing you can't accuse Simeone of is underestimating us. Happy to contain when one up in the first and resting players at the weekend. We're going to have to be at our absolute best tomorrow.

Collibosher70 Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 would agree with most and start with 4-4-2 and see how it goes for the first 60 mins , then if we still needed a goal it would have to be 3-4-3 with ulloa coming on and whoever is right/left mid crossing balls in..test their back four
Guest MattP Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 12 minutes ago, Gerard said: I think he might. We are caught between having to score and having to keep a clean sheet. He might play Ndidi as a holding midfielder instead of playing Okazaki but play Gray instead of Albrighton for more attacking flair. We might play 4-1-4-1 in this formation: Vardy Gray Drinkwater King Mahrez Ndidi Wouldn't surprise me one bit if that's exactly how we set up.
jammie82uk Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 Stat time 67.7% of teams having won their Champions League first-leg 1-0 at home have progressed to the next round (21 out of 31). Atlético Madrid and Leicester City are meeting for the third time in a European home/away tie after facing each other in the first round of the 1961/62 Cup Winners Cup and 1997/98 UEFA Cup. The Spanish side qualified on both previous occasions. In fact, after the second leg, a third of Leicester City’s games in European competition will have taken place against Atlético Madrid (6 out of 18). Leicester City are the first team since Malaga in 2012/13 to reach the quarter-finals on their Champions League debut. They’re also the eighth English team to make it to the Last 8 of the competition, more than any other country. Leicester City have won all four of their Champions League home games this season (6 goals scored, 1 conceded). Leicester are the lowest scoring side in the Champions League among the eight teams left in this season’s competition (10 goals in 9 games). 50% of their goals have come from set-piece. In fact, Leicester City didn’t have a single shot on target in the first leg at the Caldéron. No team conceded more penalties than Leicester City in this season’s Champions League (4, only 2 of which were converted). Atlético Madrid have the chance to reach the semis of the Champions League for the third time in the last four seasons. They had never reached that stage previously (since 1992/93). Atlético Madrid’s only previous away Champions League game against an English side under Diego Simeone saw them beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge in April 2014. Atlético Madrid have won seven of their nine Champions League games this season (D1 L1). No team has collected more victories. Atlético Madrid have kept 27 clean sheets in 45 Champions League games under Diego Simeone since 2013/14 (60%), that’s five more than any other team over that period (Real Madrid 22). Antoine Griezmann has scored or assisted 52% of Atlético Madrid’s goals in the Champions League since last season (12 goals and 3 assists). Ryad Mahrez is directly involved in six of Leicester’s 10 Champions League goals this season (4 goals, 2 assists). Jamie Vardy has scored only one goal in eight Champions League games (681 minutes).

Eagle10 Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 I can't understand what is happening with Slimani. In Sporting he got injured once in 3 years, here he has already been injured a couple of times, don't really know what is happening.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 This is the most important game, in the history of our club.

I think that we will see him tommorow, it is what he came for.

erlee Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 5 hours ago, leicesterseddon said: I'd be tempted to start with Ulloa to be honest. With the way Atletico play, there may be no point playing Okazaki - there certainly wasn't in the first leg. I thought he played well on Saturday and gave us something different with his ability to win & hold the ball upfield. He certainly does this better than Slimani - who can head at goal but is (surprisingly) bad at winning balls in the air. Ulloa was invisible v Crystal palace..

He looked decent first half even when the ref was was being generous to the defence, it was probably planned that he came off in the second half like Okazaki does but the 2 injury subs put paid to that idea

Fakes/exaggerates injuries when he doesn't fancy a game if whispers are to be believed. Our fitness and medical department has an excellent reputation so I doubt it's anything at the club end to blame.

But saying he fakes injuries, when he didn't play vs Sevilla, and he is likely not playing against Atletico isn't true. I think it has something to do with a certain clause in his contract....
Loves2spooge Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 Srsly groin injuries are serious speaking from experience it could take up to six month and not fully recover , it causes great pain like electric shock when running and I let you imagine how frustrating it can be while on a pitch , it's not easy , now if slim picked it up in the afcon and didn't fully recover from it and kept playing , it could explain him suddenly missing some games , keep in mind i'm trying to be logic here , and get away from dumb rumors

He will need the season break to fully recover. Groin injuries are always a pain in the ass, and can be hard to recover. He didn't even take a month to recover, and played with a knock throughout the AFCON so it can also explain the sudden injuries he gets.
UniFox21 Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 would be quite happy with a 4-3-3 tomorrow schmeichel simpson benny morgan fuchs ndidi drinkwater king mahrez vardy albrighton collapsing into 4-5-1 without the ball
