Cryptic message

Looking forward to 90 mins of people praying Gray and Slimani make a mistake so they can jump down their throat.

[cityfanlee23]

Buzzing to see Slimani and Gray on the pitch. And can't wait to see Iborra and Dragovic properly.

 

3-1 Leicester, Gray, ulloa and Slimani.

I'm looking forward to at least one of them getting a hat trick. !!

Ulloa. Yikes.

To be fair in the last round it did work with Slimani particularly impressing as the link between midfield and attack. The thing is, that was against Sheffield United...

Have you all forgotten 3 of our 4 goals that night were as a direct result of Ulloa dropping deep and becoming the link between midfield and forwards.....

Our midfield looks pretty good, and great to see Iborra.  Makes sense to give Hamer and the reserve defence some game time, if we don't mind giving away a few goals.  Likewise Slim needs to play to find his scoring boots.  Playing Ulloa too makes no sense to me (any more than extending his contact did).  Should be Iheanacho.  

 

Am watching in Glasgow - anyone else?

No idea why Ulloa's playing.

Shakey's mate. Can't see any other explanation. Don't see the point of two target men unless Slimani is playing behind Ulloa which would be ridiculous. Why nacho or Sinji aren't up front is beyond me.

Bugger, just realised that the LCFC site doesn't have the rights to stream a radio commentary of the game. How annoying...

 

It's on 5 Live.

[biggs]

Figured on 'nacho' being selected...imo .needs playing time

[manders86]

Haven't read the whole thread but my expectation is I'm guessing people are thrilled we are sticking with 4-4-2.. Gray, ulloa, slimani and hamer getting a lot of love too.... right?! ?

[Monk]

Massive game for our those backs Amartey and Chils, and I am looking forward to seeing Iborra. Fingers crossed.

Very harsh! May be past his best but he was a very good player for us in his first 2 seasons.

 

He was much better than and did more for us than the likes of Ian Marshall or Iwan Roberts who most Leicester fans still lionise.

[chapero82]

That line up is a weird one ?

they both looked shit in the warm up to be honest

[steflcfc]

Only thing I can think of with the line up is Albrighton and Gray getting crosses in for both Ulloa and Slimani.

 

Obv they both are not overly blessed with pace.

 

[ARM1968]

3-1. It is written. 

[dorsetboy]

would have loved to have seen musa and gray on the wings with slim and nachoman up front 

 

[Benguin]

Happy with that team. Might have had Maguire for Morgan for fitness reasons and vardy on the bench as he loves a goal vs Liverpool but pretty decent.

[M0901]

On Sky they used Tom Lawrence as Dragovic in the line up graphics ???

[Nod.E]

Never realised how much Dragovic looked like Tom Lawrence

[whoareyaaa]

Ulloa though
