Hamza is a fast passer and passes forwards but that's irrelevant since Tielemans and Madders are both in the team and it's their job to get us moving. The only midfielder in our squad who has problems passing quickly is N'Didi but I'd play him for his interceptions, tackling ability and his height/heading ability. You don't need to play 11 Albrighton's in order to pass quickly. I think the problem with playing ndidi and hamza is that hamza tends to come deep to collect, teams mark out YT and maddison then all hes got to pass forward to is Ndidi, of which isnt the best at starting attacks. Its good defensively but i feel just one DM is fine, madders has upped defensive workrate now so he should play next to YT

Unabomber Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 I think Tielemans is going to score a wonder goal today.
Wrighty22 Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 Buzzing for this today. Taking my son, this will be his second game so hopefully he enjoys it more than last time.
OntarioFox Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 (edited) Lads it's Bournemouth. Which normally means we lose. Still, having finally broken that duck last season I'm optimistic, especially knowing how they play and knowing we're far more effective these days against expansive sides. Frankly, you'd be mad to have any Leicester or Bournemouth defenders in your fantasy team, but if you do, bench them. I smell a high scoring game - a 3-2 to us or a 2-2 draw.

Blue ROI Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 I would be a lot more confident against one of the top 6 than I would be against Bournemouth. Our bogey team in recent times. It was great to get one over them last March and on all known form its one we can win. Depends on Bournemouth playing us the same way as Wolves. You don't want to go too defensive but it's hard to leave N'Didi out. Would keep Barnes in reserve for now. It'd be great to get another win before a tough run of games. 1
Raj Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 More about mental attitude than footballing ability for me. Will be a good test of where we are and where we want to be. 2
LinekersLugs Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 These like to knock it about , want us to get right in their faces and pressure from word go and get the ball forward quick they will play high and press and should give Vardy the chances to get the first

I was merely countering your 'what if' we've an equally valid 'what if'. Those things didn't happen, ergo, not relevant. Fair point well presented. Maybe I'm just a little frustrated that I know we are way off of our potential and worry we could end up losing value points to teams we could and should be beating. We do have a fantastic squad which makes the lacklustre performances more frustrating. Edited 31 August 2019 by adejo92

Look at it this way - imagine what might happen should it click into place.... Things could be so much worse, my friend. Let's hope for a convincing win today, and then people might start singing silly songs about winning the title again... 1

wattolcfc Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 I haven’t been impressed with performances apart from the second half vs Chelsea but I’d take a win today, no matter how ugly. These are a bit of a bogey side for us and winning when we’re not playing well is a sign of a good team. 1-0 will do for me.
spacemunky Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 Mustard win! Don't want to be playing ketchup all season long.
spacemunky Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 Someone's going to have to start up a new match thread. I think I murdered this one
Pliskin Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 I fancy Pereth today, looks sexy with those sunnies on.
Nick Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 A win today would be magic. 8 points on the board and top four. It’d give some real confidence going into the international break - and then up against a Man U side which as I’m watching now, is beatable. I really think after Tuesdays set piece goal, outrageous penalty and England call up, Maddison will shine this afternoon. Heart says 3-1 win. A hopeful head says 2-1 win. C’mon Leicester.
Fox1970 Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 We have a new Premier referee today. Hope he's wise enough to some of the rather underhand stuff that Bournemouth have showed against us in recent seasons.

I’m not sure with Madders and Hamza in our side we have too much in the way of complaints!
Mickey O'Neil Posted 31 August 2019 Posted 31 August 2019 New referee to the PL I believe. 10 yellow cards in his two Championship games this season. There will be a penalty today!!!!!!! (Not hopeful it'll go our way)
