Only way it could have been better was if we'd won on penalties. I'd like to see a different outcome this time around, and I think we can do it. Too late pal ... she’s already said yes.

It would be interesting to see Maddison in a different midfield role, Soyuncu needs games under his belt against top opposition with the proviso that he and Maguire don't dash forward at the same time. I also think Ghezal looks more comfortable in the number 10 role.

It might be a terrible idea it might not work but would like to have a look and it would certainly give us options for more creativity. X

X Just so long as he puts in a bit more effort than he did for Palace's goal at the weekend. As an attacking midfielder that sort of lack of application is frustrating at the very least - as a centre mid it's unforgivable.

Didn't mean to come across as slagging him off. If he can focus and apply himself fully in the position then I'd like to see how he does as a CM as well. Then again, that kind of application has been missing from some of our players for a while now, even when playing in their natural positions

Would be interesting to see him there for a game, at least as an experiment.
Winsum Posted 18 December 2018 Posted 18 December 2018 Going to need a lot of luck tonight but if Vardy does not play then an almost an impossible task Don’t know why Puel played in last Saturday, a further gaff by Puel maybe

m4DD0gg Posted 18 December 2018 Posted 18 December 2018 We have got such a slim chance of winning this and totally the underdogs that i can see us winning, almost like a Christmas miracle.
Farrington fox Posted 18 December 2018 Posted 18 December 2018 If we concede less than 3 I’ll be well made up

Also would act as a base to develop attacks from with him sitting back.

Then folks pick him in CM.. Against the best team in the land for passing the ball around. Gulp!
jim5000 Posted 18 December 2018 Posted 18 December 2018 Evans suspended, so looking at Morgan & Maguire at the back.
Blanchflower78 Posted 18 December 2018 Posted 18 December 2018 Remember these conditions when we smashed them a few years back, definitely played in to our favour then and Vardy a nuisance. Have to say that spirit and hunger no longer exists and without Vardy can only see a comfortable night for Pep and co, possibly by 2-3 goals.

UniFox21 Posted 18 December 2018 Posted 18 December 2018 A big factor is if we have a strong referee. Few games back when Kompany should've been off and the ref bottled it.

leicesterseddon Posted 18 December 2018 Posted 18 December 2018 Puel will probably be his usual cautious self and set us up to “contain” them - which we might do for a while, before Man City eventually find a way through due to a moment of quality (as per the Spurs game) or a defensive mistake. After this we might rally, but will struggle to get back into the game with only one man up front and <30% possession. There will be some substitutions, but too late and without Vardy we probably won’t be able to get back into the game anyway - by which time Man City will probably have added to their lead. Would love to be proved wrong but I just can’t see it happening for us tonight...

Realist Guy In The Room Posted 18 December 2018 Posted 18 December 2018 So much piss all over us tonight. They’re literally gonna drown in it. I reckon 1-4 with Ward keeping the score down.

gw_leics772 Posted 18 December 2018 Posted 18 December 2018 4 hours ago, Babylon said: And the same people would be moaning about him not playing against Palace, like they did about resting a couple for Fulham. Because a certain section don't pass up any opportunity to slag him off about something. "Why you dropped Wilf" "Drop Wilf" "Rest Vardy" "Why you rested Vardy "He needs a plan B" Tries a different formation "Why's he changing formation again" "He should try other players, it's not working" "He changes the team too much and tries too many players" There is plenty to moan at him for, but the sheer desperation at times to find something, despite it clashing with what the same people have already said a week or so before absolutely boggles the mind at times. Even just counting those who go to the games, there's a pretty good chance those are said by differently people. Statistically speaking.... (Alternatively, you might think this isba text chat with one friend, in which case, you are wrong)
