West Brom (H) Next Up

[Nigel Graham Pearson]

Didn’t another person on here mention they’d also heard Nacho turned out to be a clown?

 

You’d be surprised though, especially since Man City wouldn’t sell without a buyback. If he was useless, surely they wouldn’t give a toss about that? 

 

Either way, he makes less and less sense to me as a signing. I was very excited at first, but now it really seems that he doesn’t fit into our system (liberal use of the word ‘system’). Vardy, rightly or wrongly, is undroppable, and is only capable of playing well alongside crazy Japanese workhorses.

I predict a meltdown when the team's announced

Well if the team is composed by the usual suspects and organized in 4-4-2 I'll be the first.

Iheanacho could be another Kramaric!...

Nacho's goal to game ratio begs to differ though. Albeit not carrying that on with us, due to lack of game time.

 

As long as he performs on the pitch, that is the main thing. I'm sure majority of footballers are clowns.

I predict Hurricane Ophelia will score tonight

[Legend_in_blue]

All this talk of this player and that player doesn't suit our system.  What system - our tried and tested 442? 

 

Change the system then!

 

Problem with changing a system is that we need a manager who can see this through.  CS isn't up to the task imo.  He's showed little so far to suggest that he able to change anything.

Unless he saw our training sessions and Shakey's game philosophy and never recovered from the shock since then.

 

He could easily play behind Vardy in a midfield three sowe don't have to rely on Shinji. Or as main striker if Vardy's injured. Or on the left in a 4-3-3. Or any system that not implies "forget about the midfield and hoof the hot potato to the strikers" .

 

 But no, we buy good players on the ball (Musa aside), just to let them rot on the bench whilst the starters play at "who wants the ball? Not me".

Do i get up at 2am for the potentially misery inducing 0-0 or 0-1 ?

 

[AjcW]

Well.. it looks like the end of the world outside (in Nottingham anyway) so i'm expecting a performance from both teams fitting in with the surroundings! 

 

So confident of a 0-0 that my centre backs in fantasy team this weekend are Hegazi and Maguire

It does up here as well. 

 

Maybe it is end of the world and nobody will ever have to watch Leicester v West Brom.

I'd imagine a high percentage of the population are hoping so!

Hitting hard in Ireland since early morning.....whole country pretty much on lockdown with shops banks etc all closing early...getting on for 200,000 premises now without power mainly in South and West....So far not too severe nearer Dublin though few trees now been reported as down but power still on...fingers crossed it stays on for me to watch a solid 3 - 1 win

Could be total bollocks but I was talking to someone who works at the club yesterday and he claimed the coaching staff can't believe how dopey and incapable Iheanacho is, said he is totally in his own World and looks out his depth on the training pitch most of the time.

 

I'm not looking forward to this game at all, it's going to be scrappy, windy and a game that could be terrible, we have got to fight like hell and I'm not sure this current group is prepared to do that.

 

I think we could have our lowest home attendance for a while, not sold out, on television and I know about 7-8 season ticket holders personally who can't be bothered to make the effort.

at the moment I see its more likely that our coaching staff cant recognise his ability staring them in the face.

 

'he cant hoof it as high and as far as the old lot...BIN'

It really is the weirdest weather, isn't it? Feels like an eclipse is coming. Strange. Red sun ?

Good sign... 

Okazaki will have a stormer tonight!? 

[ronnup]

I think tonight’s game is massive. We either show signs of improvement and intent or more rubbish. I am not overly confident.

Sorry, been away and can't really be bothered to go back over this whole thread but are people actually writing off Iheanacho already? X

Lucky you......getting worse here....over 3 thousand separate power outages leaving 400,000 premises without power...2 fatalities confirmed.....getting back to football Cork City who are champions elect needing 1 point from last 3 matches (sounds familiar) were to play tonight.....match was put back to tomorrow but roof of main stand has been blown off so who knows when they will get to play......4 hours to kick off and I still have power ????. Here's hoping it stays on and my prediction of a good 3 - 1 win for the Foxes ???
