Newcastle (H) Pre Match

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Let Madders rest. We need to develop options as it never helps to be over reliant on any one player. Lord knows we'll realise this when Vards is retired/crocked.

Don't forget they also beat the mighty Tottenham Hotspur at The Bog Seat Stadium just recently. 

Say what you want about Spurs but for them to go there and win 1-0 shows that they have the capability to sh*thouse us

[UniFox21]

We'll have to be at our best to get something. They'll happily come down and sit back waiting for a fuk up from us.

Bbc news at 4.30 says madison a big injury worry and bredan was talking up the other players

[PhillippaT]

I won't be able to watch this - I'm now busy all day on Sunday - thank's Mum!   

[sly1]

3-0 city

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Plenty of options if Maddison is out, that’s what I love about our current squad, decent players to come in. 

[Royston.]

Choudhary in for maddison, relying on an out of form tielemans for creativity.

 

Bring praet on as sub and expect him to so something.

 

Lose 1-0

Praet or Albrighton will start with either Barnes or Perez moving centrally to join Youri, surely Rodgers has learnt.

[Fox seen in Norwich]

Praet for Maddison (if injured)

otherwise unchanged 

 

 

[Cincinnati Fox]

Tielemans is a better player further forward so will be nice to see that and Praet if Maddison is out.

[Gazza M]

I think we need width to get in behind them and someone wide we can switch the ball to on either flank.

 

                          Kasper

Ricardo     Evans        Soyuncu    Chilwell

 

                   Ndidi       Tielemans 

   Albrighton        Perez           Barnes

                          Vardy

 

Subs:   Ward, Justin, Morgan, Praet, Choudhury, Gray, Iheanacho 

[OadbyBlue]

Would love to see Perez playing in his natural position in behind vardy, other than that same as last week with Albrighton replacing Maddison and Perez moving central

[ARM1968]

Just fuching win it and bin it. 3pts, no excuses about buses.

Apparently Carroll is doubtful for the match.

 

Carroll is doubtful for EVERY game until at least the New Year!

[Deeg67]

I still don't think we need Wilf for this one.  Bring him in as a sub if we're protecting a lead.

Wes can Barely get himself of the ground, we don’t have a CB who could deal with Carroll unless Benkovic is fit.

 

Against Sheffield BR brought Wes on to make a 3, to resist a late onslaught to widespread acclaim.

 

I'm not saying marking Carroll is easy, but Benkovic isn't ready so that is a bit academic

[Guest Cujek]

I expect them to bring every bus in the North East to this game. 

 

We struggle to break down teams as we have no target man. 

 

Play Wes upfront smash in Cross after cross, we will have most of the possession and dictate the game but with their 10 defenders playing so deep there will be no space for Vardy. 

 

Nacho isn't strong enough to muscle is way around and we have no other option upfront so the Wes comment is only a semi joke. 

 

I can see this becoming a very frustrating game for us. 

[Shane]

Rodgers loves the diamond. It's one of the first things be talked about post match vs Spurs

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see us play that system tomorrow

[Clarkey123]

Anyone have any news on soyuncu for this game? Need to know for my dream team haha 

[Steve Earle]

Just a hunch but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 343 tomorrow with Wilf sitting deep near the CBs, both FBs playing as wing backs, and Vardy Perez & Barnes as a front 3. Plan B might involve two orthodox wingers coming on to stretch them even more.

Disagree Newcastle will utilise their quick wingers on the break. No anchorman leaves three opposition players potentially in Man for Man situations. 

 

I think we will. Simply because Newcastle will play the same tactics as they do against us but this time don’t have Rondon up front 

[Spicer]

If Maddison is out...

 

Kasper

 

Ricardo

Evans

Soyuncu

Chillwell

 

Ndidi

 

Albrighton

Teilemans

Praet

Barnes

 

Vardy

 

Ward, Justin, Morgan, Choudary, Gray, Perez, Nacho

[st albans fox]

Either benko may be on the bench tomorrow or he isn’t fit enough to play twice in five days (not in the U23 today) 

[KFS]

Would be nice to win this given today’s results
