I wouldn't necessarily say Chilwell is a weakness, more likely what he's had or hasn't had in front of him. Also, without playing a back 3, up until Man City, our second place in the Premiership would tend to suggest that there wasn't too much wrong with formations or choice of personnel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why must they? We are going out to win the game. Not sit tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridFox Posted 7 January 2020 Share Posted 7 January 2020 (edited) Gotta look to finish the game here. Even though we beat them in the league, going to Villa Park with 1 goal in it is a precarious scoreline in the cup.

Haha it's as if we haven't won 95% of our games against teams outside the top 6 this season. Chilwell has ket us down time and time again 🙃 madness!

Deeg67 Posted 7 January 2020 Share Posted 7 January 2020 We pwned them with a diamond two weeks ago. Way too much overthinking this - play the exact same lineup and we'll dominate them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ealingfox Posted 7 January 2020 Share Posted 7 January 2020 If the Champions League is anything to go by 1st leg leads are now literally impossible to defend so we'd be better off playing for the 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. 1st leg leads can be very dodgy, that's why it always best to play away first, have the added advantage of the home crowd to see you through 2nd leg. 1-0, 2-1 even 2-0 leads can be very, very dodgy psychologically. Even 3-0 if you concede early enough is not enough. I'd probably be more comfortable with a 0-0 as strange as it sounds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuntman_Mike Posted 7 January 2020 Share Posted 7 January 2020 Well up for this, I've never seen us play in a cup semi. Yes, we're heavy favourites - especially at home, but we can't take it lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 7 January 2020 Share Posted 7 January 2020 Doubt he will be fit enough to play in the first leg, but possibly in the second leg. Assuming he doesn't get twatted in a Brum nightclub first of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 7 January 2020 Share Posted 7 January 2020 Hi All. I've not really been paying attention. If I was to come up to Leicester tomorrow and turn up at the ground, would I have any chance of getting a ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only family stand tickets (need an under 18) or corporate tickets left. There are a few (including mine) for sale at £20 in the tickets thread.

As of a couple of minutes ago 13:44 7/1/20 there were 13 tickets available in section B1 also loads of tickets in the family stand. So if you buy online now, chances are you'll get one.

The People's Hero Posted 7 January 2020 Share Posted 7 January 2020 Cheers all. I won't have an U18 with me and would need to buy on gate since not sure I can make it; but thanks for the responses. I do appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 7 January 2020 Share Posted 7 January 2020 Play our standard 4-1-4-1, they will be better prepare for the diamond this time around. Play it just like normal game, if we think we have to win it in 90 mins we will come unstuck. Trust in BR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papasmurf Posted 7 January 2020 Share Posted 7 January 2020 So assuming Man City get to the final and also will qualify for the champions league will either us or Villa get a European spot from the cup even if we lost in the final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
