Non-impact injuries we're suffering could be down to a lack of research on transfer targets, or down to training methods

 

We seemed to go a very long time during Pearson's 2nd reign right through to his team playing under Ranieri, with minimal injuries & hardly anyone injured & certainly not repeatedly

 

The fact we've got Slimani & Iborra potentially missing out for the same reason is probably coincidence, but if this crops up again or with others, then we may need to make changes

Slim injured his groin at Afcon

the groin injury happened before AFCON, he went there without being fully healed and aggravated it badly while there

[brucey]

I reckon Iborra wasn't used to the intensity and pace of our training, hopefully it'll heal stronger than before

Yeh Musa and Ndidi on the other hand were not injured and yet remarkably Nigeria were unbeaten during AFCON17 

[Guest Col city fan]

Does Pearson actually have a daughter?

Standard 2 or 3-1 beating for me. Arsenal usually start well and then fade after Christmas. Can't see us coming away with anything but a lesson. 

Arsenal's first day record is horrendous. They always blow games they should win.

We're usually good at ending other team's poor records.

I don't get the people on this forum TBH. A lot of people are saying Iborra is too slow for Leicester's game style and saying he's like another Andy King style-wise and Slimani injury-wise but now I can see in this thread a lot of people are worried that he won't play the Arsenal game.

Get well ASAP Vince. I have to admit my hope we'll buy a creative CM or AM is getting Slim

Not being right for a 442 is one thing, but it sounds like we were going with a 3 in the middle and it's scuppered the plans... it also means Andy King is closer to playing time, which is never a good thing.

[Stevosevic]

Would have gone with James and Ndidi based on pre season anyway.

I advise you to avoid any threads with a poll. They will blow your mind.

Hello, you must be new around these parts. We're talking about Leicester City Football Club

 

We never beat Arsenal, we always lose at the Emirates & you have to go back the best part of 100 years to even see us winning a top flight game, away from home on the opening day.

Last season, after adding £70m of talent to a Premier League winning squad we went away to newly promoted Hull, managed by Mike Phelan... he only had 8 fit players in the whole squad and they beat us

 

We will not beat Arsenal, it is important however that we don't lose in the same way we lost away from home under Ranieri last season, we must play well, create chances & not get ripped apart - We can then hopefully look forward to a good result against Brighton

We've already got Slim ... not sure we can adapt him to be a creative CM though ?
