blabyboy Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 Sneaky feeling we'll win this one, but more attention will go to JM's post match excuses and reactions. 1-2 Albrighton Lukaku Martial (o.g)
Nick Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 Drinks and Ndidi in midfield - Albrighton and Mahrez on the wings and Vardy Okazaki to start. I'd like to see Gray, James and Icheanacho get minutes ideally from the bench. Simpson Maguire Fuchs and one of Huth/Morgan at the back. Go at them 442 and play them at counter football - and play a high line - none of this camped in our area like its the last 10 mins nonsense please.

We don't have defenders capable of playing a high line, Lukaku and Rashford would have a field day.
Nick Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 Meh - that's how we won the title... Its when we dropped further back Claudio ran into trouble! I just want to see us have ago wookie - not look like terrified rabbits in our own half headlights.

I'm inclined to agree with you. If we let them get close to our goal they'll hammer us. By keeping them away from Goal we can play offside and hope they fall over the ball if they get through. One thing is sure, If we use the same plan, as usual, we will get beat. We need to try something different and I think Shakey was experimenting also on Tuesday with a new formation. So don't be surprised if we go with two up top today and maybe Slim in the hole. Or play two wide players and Slim in the middle. The longer we can hang in there the better our chances of a result, as they'll start arguing among themselves.

I hate how deep we play as it only invites too much pressure but by signing and having such immobile CBs we can only play that way. It's also the reason we have to play with narrow, defensive fullbacks so Maguire, Huth and Morgan don't get dragged out wide and isolated.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 If we play like we did at Arsenal we'll get something. Get up the pitch in the parts of the game where we are on top for 5 minutes and take our chances. Just don't have a meltdown in the last 10 minutes.
Aidan Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 2 hours ago, FIF said: I'd thake an injyred Htuh over both of them. He'll be in if he's fit unless we're hiding him from Chelsea until the transfer period is over. Way to put your own team down. Today is the day that Leicester show the Prem they are title contenders again. Didn't mean to. I was referring to away games as I know it will be tough for any team to beat them at home.

But we're on to a hiding to nothing anyway, They're just so physically powerful. so we might as well try something different.
Lesta2014 Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 Hate to say this but can only see a bad result pretty similar to last season at old Trafford! Hope I'm wrong though, I can't stand Man Utd!
foxile5 Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 The Mrs wants me to bet on Utd because 'if we lose money it means Leicester have done great.' Idiot or genius?

Chico1958 Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 If you can't up your game when facing smug JM and Man Utd You don't deserve to be wearing the shirt I'd be happy if we put up a good fight but I fear our defence may be run ragged Draw and I'd be happy........ Win and I'm getting drunk Ps: I'd also be happy if Smalling comes home with us
Bluetintedspecs Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 Gone for a draw on superbru, think we will put in a top performance today and could possibly nick it!

I think the Man United forwards might just be to fathom out a slow paraplegic Leicester high line. The battle will be in midfield. If it comes down to a tactical battle of wits between Mourhino and Shakespeare, I fear Mourhinio will be fighting against an unarmed man. I suspect Shakespeare will field the usual 442 with Ndidi and James in midfield. I like and rate both players but against a 3 of Pogba, Matic and Mata for example I don't fancy the match up.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 11/1 to win on bet365 got to have a bit of that...

This is a total mismatch in physical presence and to make things worse the two physical players we have are Huth and Morgan, and both missing. No matter how we go about it I just can't see us winning. But we are Leicester after all, We have a history of major upsets when we weren't expected to get a result. Hopefully, we can cause another upset.
sdb Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 Needs Shinji to have another great day, Vardy to get a supply line and Wes to be fully fit. If any of those don't happen we're in for a long afternoon.

Nick Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 I have a feeling they will have a player sent off! They won't like it up em...

It would take some of the sting out of losing, but if we win you're out cash you'd still have (and be less happy for it, perhaps) if you didn't.
Mr Weller Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 Approach the game with our usual diehard attitude and press them high up the pitch and then see what happens. We know they have quality but we have self belief and I wouldn't rule out getting a positive result today.
