Result of having Rudkin as DoF.

1) He's not now.

2) This is a very tough game, they're flying.

3) Shakey has shown absolutely no indication to play the kind of shape and style Iborra fits.

Fingers crossed it's Adrien Silva in a Andy King mask! Think this could also be a good chance for Chilwell to claim the left back spot as his own.

[Sharpe's Fox]

Kingy will play well and prove you ****ers wrong

[Guest seanfox778]

Come on Leicester!! A win would be lovely today.

[kingfox]

King vs Mooy 

 

Andy will probably now put in a defensive blinder and score the winner.

[tsintskaro]

my god

again this leicester legend in midfield

I can't work out why we signed Iborra if we're never going to play a three man midfield.

Shakey clearly easing him in after injury......it's frustrating but hopefully the loyalty he is showing to established players will be repaid in effort by the likes of king and albrighton

[SecretPro]

King 

 

Nacho 

[Merging Cultures]

I've got no problem with Shakey's selection there. Got my gun loaded in prep for the substitutions

Where we bring on a defender, concede, bring on an attacker, look positive but they have shut up shop... Those sort of subs?!

We've sold Drinkwater, ****ed up the Silva signing. James has a knock, Iborra is just coming back from injury. Not really that baffling.

[Nugent]

Seriously what was the point in spending £2.5m and whatever wages on Jakupovic for him to be third choice? I know that's peanuts these days but it's still baffling. If Shakey wanted Hamer as second choice we should have just used an academy lad for third choice. I would not be happy if I was Jakupovic.

[StriderHiryu]

King knows the English pace and has played Huddersfield plenty of times before. Given their pressing game I understand the reluctance to give Iborra his debut. 

 

But nervous like everyone else. Hope it's not justified!!!

[Larry_LCFC]

You have to ask serious questions about the ambition of our club when Andy King is starting in midfield. Jesus.

[Harry96]

Nachooo finally

But we've gone with 1 man which is a bit extreme

Not sure what people were expecting really, Iborra has only had one reserve game and is well behind the rest in terms of fitness. We shouldn't be in this situation, but it's not the managers fault.

[City_4_Life]

Andy King 1st goal! 

[the fox]

I will give kingy 10 free backward passes, anymore than that and he will get slated 

[ARTY_FOX]

I don't mind king starting. Would have preferred to see what iborra has got but oh well. Glad iheanacho is in. Should be strong in attack.

What's ambition got to do with having people out injured, still coming back from injury, selling a players and buggering up the replacement. Bad luck, incompetent. but nothing to do with ambition.

If Iborra can't play in a 2 then for me he's a bad signing.

 

We should have been signing players who fit a 2 man midfield because that's our preferred formation.

 

We're unlikely to go with 3 at the back and I refuse to watch us if we're going with 1 up top.

We needed someone to take the place of Gokun Inler, Iborra is going/will be go exactly the same way

[the fox]

Looking forward to the kelechi-vardy-mahrez partnership.

[Suzie the Fox]

Might see Iborra being subbed on later for king though. 

 

Fingers being crossed as I type.
