tiredclimb Posted 8 February 2018 Posted 8 February 2018 So no Shinji for two weeks... I think we will have 3 in midfield with a front three of albrighton vardy diabate, to save kelechi and vardy getting over worked seeing as they are the only options.
winteriscoming Posted 8 February 2018 Posted 8 February 2018 Kasper Simpson dragovic Maguire fuchs ndidi Iborra Albrighton silva diabate Vardy

I would go for: Kasper Simpson Drago Maguire Fuchs Diabates Ndidi Silva Albrighton Vardy Iheanacho Gray to come on for Iheanacho, Iborra for Silva and Chilwell for Fuchs. If we are somehow miraculously defending a lead maybe instead bring on Chilwell for Diabates and switch him and Albrighton, and Iborra for Kelechi/Vardy.

Yes he has. No one has to agree but it's a perfectly reasonable explanation to allow the U23 players to play the night before as this would be better for their development rather than keeping one back to make up the numbers. Chances are no matter what happened in the match that U23 player would never have got on the pitch as there is always someone more able to perform his position. The only caveat to that would be to put any available GK on the bench as a third choice in the event the other two either got sent off or injured. Highly unlikely I know but it's a free bet on a 100,000/1 shot, why wouldn't you take it up? All things considered then any reasonable person can see logic in Pep's thinking whether you agree with his decision or not. 1
Callabinho Posted 8 February 2018 Posted 8 February 2018 I think this will be the start of a long winless streak, I just feel the whole Mahrez saga is going to really upset the squad, there just doesn’t seem like there’s a good feeling about the place at the moment.

That's a massive leap squire, have you been hanging out with the lads, assessing the vibe. It can be small things that galvanise a squad. Jose swears by have a parriah in the squad, makes everyone else feel all warm and fuzzy. 1

I think we're going to get a result on Saturday and then progress to the FA Cup Quarters and you'll be wrong. In 2 weeks time no one will even know who Mahrez is and Diabate is King of England.
dynamark Posted 8 February 2018 Posted 8 February 2018 Winless streak started two weeks ago TBF.Everton and Swansea one point -not great !
Farrington fox Posted 8 February 2018 Posted 8 February 2018 With the best will in the world its hard to see how we can take anything other than a good pasting.
Redouane Posted 8 February 2018 Posted 8 February 2018 (edited) So Mahrez is out for this game. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11712/11241221/riyad-mahrez-will-not-face-man-city-confirms-leicester-boss-claude-puel "Riyad is a magnificent player. He loves football, he loves his relationship with his team-mates, he enjoys his football. I think he needs to come back, to play and touch the ball." This is getting embarrassing by Puel. It's fine to forgive him once, but if you keep constantly "begging" him to comeback, it just makes you look desperate. Personally have too much pride to do what Puel is doing should I be in his shoes. Edited 8 February 2018 by Redouane
UPinCarolina Posted 8 February 2018 Posted 8 February 2018 No Shinji? Sad. He loves a match against Man City. 1
Wymsey Posted 8 February 2018 Posted 8 February 2018 (edited) I think it's quite a silly time for a football game, considering train problems etc that have arisen after evening matches. Edited 8 February 2018 by Wymeswold fox

I get the impression that he's not the type to respond positively to a bollocking, more of an arm around the shoulder sort. It must be difficult to provide that arm given the circumstances but it might be the only way for this to end anything short of a disaster.
