knitro Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 LCFC Twitter corrected that it's going to be Mendy not Wilf. Honestly I would've liked to see a few more fringe guys in the 11 - we have had a good start to the league and let's keep that firing. Running Vardy for 90 every game won't do.
Sunbury Fox Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 They've played pretty much a reserve team and we've fielded a first team except for Wes....
smr Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 Excellent. About time we saw a Leicester team going for the win in a cup competition with a strong lineup. Tbh all this playing reserves or a b team from most clubs annoys me. If you want to win silverware have a feckin good crack at it and do it properly!
Merging Cultures Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 Like a couple of others, I'd have liked to see some of the fringe players get a go. But at the same time pleased we seem to want to win and have sufficient time for the first team players to rest.

Very disappointing and a loss would really mess up the mentality going into the next prem game. Was looking forward to other guys trying to prove themselves. We're even playing Fuchs! I would have loved to see Justin and Benkovic. Is the latter injured? Nacho seems to be on his way out if he isn't even on the bench for this game. On the other hand, Rodgers saw what happened to Puel...

foxfanazer Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 Get the game won early and then bring on some of the squad players
weller54 Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 Rather see certain players rested for the Bournemouth game personally.
Jobyfox Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 Bit disappointed. For fitness, form and morale I'd have included a few more who haven’t been getting in. Not wholesale changes to break up the rhythm, but just a few more. Probably just add: Ward, Justin, Albrighton to Morgan and Barnes and one or two new ones on the bench

Could've happened in any game. Fantastic XI Brendan. Breath of fresh air.
FoxesDeb Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 Really really pleased with that line up. It's what we've been begging for, shows real intent. We're on the way to Wembley
lgfualol Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 Wow strong team. Slightly disappointed Justin isnt getting a start. Ward is the most expensive keeper to ever not make a cup opening round Lets win dis bitch
coolhandfox Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 Refreshing, players don't need resting after 3 games in 3 weeks!
smr Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 We pld man city in the quarters last season and lost on penalties at home. But if I remember right Puel didnt field the best team he could have for that game, and that was the QF! Dont even want to talk about newport in the fa cup. Joke. Think Brendan has possibly taken stock of this. And also, he must be thinking, well we're not going to get relegated this season as we have too much talent (not arrogant, just decent) but we most likely wont finish top 4, so somewhere between 5th but more realistically 6th-10th so we may as well get full throttle for both Cup competitions. The good thing is, by selecting our best team (pretty much) for the first round of the league cup. It's a given that we'll see our best team fielded for the FA Cup as well. I'd love us to win either, but the FA cup would be a dream and especially as my Dad really wants us to win that, having seen us first hand come close a few times. (and on cue my Dad's just messaged me to say he'd love to see us win the FA cup in his lifetime) means a lot to a lot of the older supporters I reckon as we've got to finals but never won it!

Lambert09 Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 It’s great that we’re going for it but at Vardys age you’ve got to give him a break when you can. I would probably have given Justin an opportunity as well.
MarriedaLeicesterGirl Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 In all honesty, I am happy with this. Yes, it's good to see fringe players, but we were unlucky to draw a Premier League opponent. If we win, and draw a Football League team, I'd expect to see Gray, Justin and Nacho.
UPinCarolina Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 I expected a strong line-up, but that's REALLY strong.
sharpylcfc Posted 28 August 2019 Posted 28 August 2019 Pleasantly surprised by the team selection. Strong side should win the game.

Same, Justin and Nacho for sure maybe Mendy with a start they all need game time. i notice B’Mouth are resting a few be it from the bench but they should beat Forest Green @ home so the likes of King and Fraser and Ake should be well rested.
