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. I think the groin thing might effectively be one injury, which has played out all season. Apparently Mendy had never had a serious injury til he came here either, but I don't think it is an LCFC thing, because our training philosophy is less intensive than most PL clubs, although Ranieri had been making changes to that.

They're defensively so solid and hard to break down. it looks like we'll have both of our usual centre backs missing for this as well. Ah well then
HybridFox Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 We need a good ref tomorrow. Simeone will have his players go down at every opportunity, and we can't afford to be conned AGAIN! Let the football do the talking. The officials in both the Sevilla games were decent to be honest

m4DD0gg Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 Had a good buzz about Sevilla i thought we could beat them. Tomorrow does not feel the same. These lot are far too clinical and have our measure.
Footballwipe Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 Referee for tomorrow is Gianluca Rocchi, with this his fifth European game of the season. His record of matches reffed this season seems to suggest he loves a yellow card...
Vacamion Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 What's the score regarding yellows in this game? In the event that we go through to the semi, are Vardy and Ndidi still walking the tightrope?

No all yellows are wiped after this game, so any booking tomorrow for either would affect a semi final first leg, but they changed the rules to stop people from getting suspended from the final on bookings only

I get mildly annoyed that we played our first team against Palace, but then I remember how much worse it would be right now without Shakes - out of the CL and struggling in 19th, heading towards squad break-up and financial ruin. I've already accepted defeat in advance of tomorrow, so anything better would be wonderful. So much pride in these players. Fuchs couldn't stop grinning when answering questions in that pre-match presser.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 Come on Leicester!!! coooommmmmmeeee ooooonnnnnnnnn up the Foxes!!!!!!!!!!!
Redouane Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 I'll be happy with the squad as long as they put in a good fight, no matter the end result.
dynamark Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 Its about who wants it the most and we may just have enough to do the job done .Every ounce of energy and a touch of skill man v man all the way through and somebody will be beaten almost not so much the team but each individual winning his own battle.
Legend_in_blue Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 Still think we can do these tomorrow night. Expect it to go to extra time in all honesty. 0-0 at half time, nick one in the second half. Do them in extra time once they're well and truly rattled.
I blame Wellens Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 Nothing to add, just sick of seeing the tifo thread at the top.

mhs123 Posted 17 April 2017 Posted 17 April 2017 Quote Round two is upon us. A club more accustomed to the potholes of English football than European nights of this magnitude, Leicester City's tallest test awaits. Atlético Madrid are in town. Last week was a chastening experience but it is one City survived. Enveloped within the sun-drenched confines of the Vicente Calderón, they withstood almost everything their illustrious hosts could muster. One moment; a stumble, the referee’s whistle, the swing of Antoine Griezmann’s left foot. One goal without return, from 12 yards in the 28th minute, handed Atléti a slender but crucial advantage. The naysayers have since returned, prophesying that the end is nigh for the Foxes fairy tale. They uttered those words last week too. And City stood tall in the Arganzuela sunshine. Filbert Way awaits Diego Simeone’s band of European heavyweights. They’ve been to the Santiago Bernabéu lately without wilting. But, as Sevilla discovered, the Leicester City Stadium is a unique setting - even for those who frequent far larger, far more imposing grounds across the world. City have earned the right to be here and are determined to enjoy the ride. From Bruges to Copenhagen, Porto to Seville, they have embarked on a European tour they’ll never forget. Such is the brutal nature of knock-out UEFA Champions League football, though, it could all end in a heartbeat Memories of Marc Albrighton slotting home in Belgium will last forever. So, too, will the thought of Islam Slimani, the dragon slayer of Lisbon, sinking old adversaries Porto last autumn. The sight of City’s exhausted heroes tumbling to the floor last month, drained at full-time, proved how much this means. One season is a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things. Nights like these, mind you, act as a reminder that the stakes have never been higher for Leicester City. When Wes Morgan hoisted the Premier League trophy aloft back in May, these are the nights that populated the Blue Army's dreams. Atléti, meanwhile, arrived in the UK on Monday afternoon. Simeone knows the drill. This is well trodden ground for the Argentinian head coach. The Spanish press seized their chance to quiz the Buenos Aires native on the key issues. Are Leicester a threat to Atléti? “Of course, they are a big danger,” he said. The unwritten manager's code of conduct dictates that only the greatest respect will do in such circumstances but Simeone knows all about the weapons in City's arsenal. Their threat was there in flashes five days ago. With a raucous Filbert Way crowd at their disposal, there’s little Craig Shakespeare’s men cannot achieve. The odds are against Leicester, of course, but when haven’t they been? As the likes of Saúl Ñíguez, Koke and Diego Godín strode out onto the turf on Monday night, a throng of photographers momentarily obscured their view. The crowd cleared, the sun shone through and a sea of blue, white and gold flags came into focus. The stage is set - and the visitors will understandably be bullish of their chances. They know how to handle nights such as these. They have battle-hardened European experts among their ranks. The heartbreak of last summer merely serves as an extra motivation. Defeat to Real Madrid in the final on a glorious evening in Milano, their second in three years, still hurts dearly. Leicester, spurred on by their odds-defying antics of past campaigns, hope to be the latest Atléti villains. The pretext will count for little, however, once the referee's whistle blows. When the unstoppable force of Madrid meets the immovable object of Leicester, there’s no telling how the dust will settle. At 7.45pm tomorrow, we finally find out. We can do it!!!
