Bob Weasel Fox Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 Thoughts? Hate to be pessimistic but can see a thumping here for spuds obvs . . . . .
Dames Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 Since Kane isn't playing its absolutely nailed on that Son will score a goal from outside the area.
Stevosevic Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 Just be nice to score a goal that isn't from a set piece/2nd ball in.
rachhere Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 Good time to play Spurs really. They really didn't look that convincing the other day against Newcastle and should still be within Kane and Alli. Would like to think we could get a draw.
whoareyaaa Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 I think we will win, Vardy to score. Ricardo Maguire Evans Chilwell Hamza Nididi Teleman Ghezzal Barnes Vardy
sylofox Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 Get through the first ten minutes without conceding would be a start. Then move on to the more technical parts of the game like scoring.
The Doctor Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 No Kane thankfully. But, Son will no doubt score. I'd go: Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Maguire Chilwell Tielemans Ndidi Barnes Maddison Gray Iheanacho I'm frankly fed up of Vardy missing good chances but being untouchable. He's out of form and has been all season, time for someone else to get a proper go.
RowlattsFox Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 I expect Tielemans to play instead of Maddison, Albrighton back in for Gray I imagine. Would also bring Choudhury in for Mendy but not sure Puel will.
Jattdogg Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 Son to score in first 15, we wake up vardy smashes one in, lifts up his top to reveal a middle finger on his undershirt. Then son crushes our souls in the 92nd minute with a screamer. Foxestalk meltdown, puel out thread goes insane, stayers get out there bazookas whilst some of us cower in the safehouse thread with kettles on.

StriderHiryu Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 A bit like the Man United game I'd have them as favourites but would give us a chance to get something from the game, even a win. Depends on how things pan out. Hopefully we don't concede in the first 15 again, though the omens don't look good. Would like to see Tielemans play seeing as we are running out of games to see him! Hopefully Barnes starts too as he was great on Sunday.
Wymsey Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 Apologies for the deleted post, moderators, it was certainly tongue-in-cheek. Need to keep it tight at the back and let the front line have freedom to flow/express themselves on a big pitch. Hence would recommend 4-2-3-1 for this one. Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Maguire Chilwell Mendy Ndidi Albrighton Tielemans Ghezzal Vardy

Vardy has been poor this season, so understandably people want us to try something new. Unfortunately, despite Vardy being poor he's still far and away our best striker. And to say 'its time for someone else to have a go' and then listing Iheanacho, who's had chance after chance already this season and failed to even look capable just makes no sense whatsoever.
The Doctor Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 6 minutes ago, AKCJ said: You can't be serious? I am. Vardys woefully out of form, Iheanacho isn't ever going to get confidence back if he doesn't play more than 5 minute sub appearances while the fans abuse him. Vardy needs dropping, yet again yesterday he missed a very good chance that ultimately cost us points, and if anyone else was missing the chances he was fans would be giving out far more stick. He shouldn't be undroppable.

He's had 9 starts. He's only had marginally more pitch time (2 full games worth) than Dan Amartey, who's missed half the season so far with injury. He's not really had plenty of chances, he's had one brief go during September and the start of October.
Xen Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Maguire Chilwell Hamza Tielemans Ghezzal Maddison Barnes Vardy Subs: Ward, Soyuncu, Fuchs, Mendy, Ndidi, Gray, Albrighton. At least one of Mendy/Ndidi need to be dropped immediately. I'd be interested to see a Hamza/Tielemans pairing, with Hamza as the 'destroyer' and Tielemans the creative force in the middle. Particularly if we open up as much space just outside the box as we did yesterday - I fancy Tielemans to get his first goal for us. Ghezzal offered more than Gray yesterday so he gets the nod for me, although either would be fine. As for the bench, Morgan/Soyuncu is a coin flip, I don't expect either to come on. Mendy/Ndidi relegated but keep their spot in the matchday squad. Albrighton back if he's fit, if not someone like Ndukwu can take the spot. Iheanacho and Okazaki offer nothing that other players can't provide, so drop them both. Okazaki shouldn't be on the teamsheet for us again and Iheanacho needs a proper kick up the backside. No (proper) striker on the bench is a risk, but I'd be reasonably confident Barnes could step up if required, and Gray/Maddison can sort-of play as a stop-gap if needed..

southfox66 Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 They'll probably dominate for 90% of the game hit the bar 5 times, kasper will make 6 world class saves and they'll have 10 near misses, we'll have one counter attack, score a flukey goal and we'll all say what a great match it was and Puel is a genius
The Doctor Posted 4 February 2019 Posted 4 February 2019 1 minute ago, AKCJ said: Iheanacho has played 1162 minutes and he's featured in all but 4 PL games. Wrong. He's played 853 minutes and over half his appearances have been from the bench: https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/14/Show/England-Leicester
