sdb Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 For Pep it's all about rhythm. It'll be a near full strength side, ready for Madrid. Just hoping the couple he does rest are KDB and Laporte. And maybe Aguero?! Personally think he'll go as good as full strength and hope to win the game inside 60-70 mins. If we can be patient I think our best chance is in the last 20 when their minds turn to midweek.
Farrington fox Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 We're still way off it I'm afraid. This will be a stroll for Man Citeh. Which is why I'm going 0 - 2 or 3.
NaijaFox Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Took a quick glance at the Man City fan forum (see link below), and the overriding sentiment seems to be that this weekend’s game is secondary to the coming Champion League’s game away against Real Madrid next Wednesday. Accordingly, the overwhelming majority of comments thought their best players would be rested against us or at most not play for the entire match. Several would settle for a draw, and others pointed out that even a loss would not hurt them (either on the log or the bigger picture). https://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/leicester-a-pre-match-thread.344741/

Once these get into a rhythm, forget it.
Guest An Sionnach Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Will he play Stones? , if he does then we will get good chances to score . Its time for Jamie to snap out of this dry spell . There could well be a few goals in this one.
the fox Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Our team has all the tools to be a nightmare against Man City. They are very prone to counterattacks and long balls behind the CBs. Both those things the team can do at a very good level. We should win this 3-1 .
Guest Cujek Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 I am hoping for a good game, i am secretly scared
FerrisBueller Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Quietly confident about this, Vardy to stop the drought. Reckon he'll go with a back 3.

Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Bennett masterclass incoming. 2-1 - Vardy & Bennett

Doing more than simply trying to contain them for 70+ minutes is not synonymous with “playing them at their own game”. Conversely, give them the run of the park for 70+ minutes, and we will be truly forked and stuffed.

J.Lisemore Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Get at them from minute 1, make it uncomfortable for them, none of this patient passing around the back b*llocks and we might stand a chance
dynamark Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 They didn't look very ambitious against Wet Spam but still had plenty. We could easily nick a 1 nil

DerbyshireFox Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Pep full of praise for Vards today “In the box, in the final third, he is exceptional. He is one of the best strikers I have ever seen” well we know who’s ear he’s going to be in at full time this year
biggs Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 4-4-2 full on hoofball counterattack.....we got this 3-1
Nick Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 A performance tomorrow that gains any points will be incredible. I doubt we’ll get one - but if it means young players getting experience losing a pressing game that next year we might win, rather than going back to 3 DCM’s to steal a lucky tactical win.... I’m cool. We’re not Man City - we are work in progress. I’d rather play the right way and lose than play in a manner that doesn’t develop the squad. Cuntraversial, I know - but there it is! Win in the right way or die trying - no lessons are learnt from any other way and BR knows it.
Wymsey Posted 21 February 2020 Posted 21 February 2020 Think Sterling was a bit daft and naive in mentioning how 'great' Real Madrid are as a club.. Their defence is still quite shaky and a liability at times. Reckon it'll be a free-flowing high-scoring game.

That’s a good argument but we’re at a point in the season where we need to pick up points, even if we play to counter the opposition.
