Jeez

 

I'd probably go

 

Schmeichel

 

Simpson

Maguire

Dragovic

Fuchs

 

Ndidi

King

James

 

Mahrez

Vardy

Gray

 

However, despite all the signings and excitement and options. We'll go

 

Schmiechel

 

Simpson

Morgan

Maguire

Fuchs

 

Mahrez

Ndidi

James

Albrighton

 

Okazaki 

Vardy

Sadly I suspect you're right on the second 11.  We'll probably defend ok till we're finally broke down.  Then attach a little before being picked off again.  Same old Shakespeare routine .

 

Of course it will again hoodwink some in to thinking we gave them a game and were unlucky to lose.

 

Hope I'm wrong.

Kasper

Simpson - Morgan - Maguire - Fuchs

Mahrez - AMARTEY - Ndidi - Albrighton 

Okazaki - Vardy

 

Time for Amartey to step in and dictate play, watching him ping balls out wide early last season was a joy to watch, he'll make Kante look like Conference standard.

So long as you're retaining an open mind on this...

I'd love to be wrong.

 

You won't be wrong. 

 

We won't play any new players and standard plan will be put in place - sit back, soak up the pressure - struggle to get anything going forward in attack. We'll frustrate them for maybe 60 minutes and then they'll break through when we shit our pants and let in a sloppy goal. We'll wake up a bit and throw some caution to the wind, maybe make a few confusing substitutions, maybe one or two promising attacks and then we will concede again, maybe twice. 

 

0-3 Chelsea. 

 

Also, Shinji will fall over 4 times.

You've clearly seen us play under Shakespeare before :)

Athletico as in, 10 time La Liga winner, 10 time Copa Del Ray winner, 3 time Champions League winner, 3 times European Cup winners? We aren't Athletico I'm afraid to say.

 

Atletico have never won the European Cup/Champions League.

Albrighton was way out his depth v man u regardless of work rate.

Imagine the weaker team soaking up pressure against the better team, you don't see that anywhere else but Leicester. Oh no, certainly not. We see other teams take on the top six week in week out and come away with results, you certainly never see a team do that and win the league, no no no.

 

Nostradamus has nothing on the prophets on here, who could possibly have seen us struggling against an expensively assembled team who won the league last year, whilst having to defend a bit. Certainly not me that's for sure.

My apologies, I was copying from wiki and under their honours list it had them down as three times... I missed the "runners up" bit in front of it. Since when is losing a bloody honour? lol

Indeed but Stowell on the OS:

“In our system, in the 4-4-2, our full-backs deal with the inside strikers and our wingers deal with their wing-backs so sometimes it’s a match-up in there.

“Their shape is a good one and it’s worked well for them, but we like our shape as well and we’re comfortable in that. Hopefully it’ll be a good contest and a good match-up.”

Generally 4-4-2 matches well against 3-5-2 if a Okazaki like player helps out. The notion of wing backs allows ample room on the counter for the wide midfielders.

Why has James gone from being considered better than Drinkwater in preseason to now being worse than King without doing anything wrong? Even by foxes talk standards this is poor. 

 

He was alright against Arsenal, we lost when he went off, he was alright against Brighton. Wasn't spectacular against United but nobody was and he was in a two man midfield playing away against a better three man midfield that cost about 160m.

 

I've got ample confidence in Ndidi and James to be a perfectly competitive Premier league central midfield tbh. 

James's performances were 6/10's. Hardly 2's or 3's. What options are there if Iborra is out? The much maligned King and Amartey.

Personally I think it's total b******cks. In the three games of this season, we've sat back in one and we are scoring at a rate of 1.66 per game excluding the cup game.

We're going to get mullered, I'm afraid.

I hope I'm being pessimistic, and that we're up for it at the KP! Would be sweet.

Our midfield is going to get overrun... Can only see a tonking coming... 

1-4.

It's not so much the end result but the toothless, spineless way in which we will setup and execute our game plan. Come on, we all know the score here, let's not pretend otherwise. 

 

We've become so one-dimensional against the 'better teams' it's laughable. We see other teams mixing it up with different formations and trying to take the game to the 'bigger team' - yes, they might still lose but at least there is entertainment value and something different to witness. It also seems like it takes us a million years to actually utilise new signings - we NEVER get new players out on the pitch to improve us. 

 

I literally know exactly what I'm going to see down at the ground already tomorrow - it's not going to be a PL winning David vs. Goliath dragon-slaying spectacle of the past - it's going to be the same players and same old failed approach as described in the previous post. 

 

We're dry, stale and predictable and it'll be more of the same.

If he plays Okazaki over slimani, I would question Shakespeare.

This is another game where we will have little of the ball, and when we do manage to get hold of it, we need a striker who is strong enough to hold the ball, allowing time to reorganise, and maybe counter, win headers, and if albrighton manages to get a cross in, somebody who is a threat in the box.
