Tielemans63 Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 I love how people are saying 'stop Fernandes' like no opposition manager had thought of that as yet Putting Hamza on Fernandes is a red card waiting to happen IMHO. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 I can't see this going any other way than a carbon copy of the Tottenham game. We have no defence, United will park the bus, Martial and Rashford are in better form than Kane and Son. Train wreck waiting to happen. I mean, Spurs have a much better defence, this lot can't defend for shit either. But their pace and form going forward is nuts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsell1976 Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 With the injuries and form, I cannot see anything past a heavy defeat here with our with our depleted sub standard defensive replacements, europa league it is, still an achievement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 Obviously Man U are favourites for this but favourites don't always win. We live in hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 Our best chance is to have to a deep back line and play on the counter attack Not going to be easy viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 (edited) Id go. Kasper Justin Morgan Evans Thomas Hamza N'didi Youri KEVIN Vardy Kalechi. I'd set up like this but get Hamza to kick chunks our of Fernandes. The back three wont work because we can't play Bennett again after the Spurs debacle. We cant match united toe for toe, so he is going to have to pick a side that might do well keeping them out, and we somehow get the opportunity to get the ball in for Vardy. I think we need to go old school, I know a lot of people don't like the idea of us sticking the ball over the top to Vardy, but we might have to do it. We simply can't go into this game like he have the others, do or die, to the trenches we go. Edited 21 July 2020 by Pliskin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he can see a Reliant Robin cannot compete with a Porsche 911. Rodgers doesn’t need a 2nd stint at Watford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 I think a lot of people have realised during lockdown that it’s not that important anymore. It’s not more important than life and death. Yeah, it’s annoying and yeah I’ve been pissed off about the crap results but in the grand scheme of things it’s just 🤷🏻♀️ Probably not the most popular opinion but an opinion none the less. Football consumed my whole life pre-Covid, now it doesn’t. I still support Leicester and want them to do well and will still have a Season Ticket but it’s just not that important to me anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPeakFox Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 The probability is that we won't get a result. However, the probability was that the league wouldn't be won in 2016 - so we need whoever plays to individually and collectively have the game of their lives, and a little luck too. It's unlikely but not impossible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 (edited) Hope Albrighton can get himself fit. Kasper Justin Morgan Evans Albrighton Ndidi Tielemans Thomas Perez Iheanacho Vardy That can easily be a 4-4-2 as well.

Let Morgan and Evans mop up the crosses. Catch them on the break; their defense is as error prone as theirs, their fullbacks will be pushed up as they get frustrated, go back to type and pump it in the channels for Vardy to chase. We can beat these. They’re not invincible, they are knackered, and their manager won’t have a plan b if we nullify Fernandes. I'd have Ndidi on him all game and Hamza or Mendy sitting as the DCM. I worry that Hamza wouldn't be disciplined enough in a high profile game to with an already dubious reputation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes96 Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 Kasper Justin Morgan Evans Thomas Choudhury Ndidi Tielemans Perez Vardy Barnes Really got to sit and make sure we don’t concede an early goal and then hopefully grow into the game the more it goes on.

Football consumed my whole life pre-Covid, now it doesn’t. I still support Leicester and want them to do well and will still have a Season Ticket but it’s just not that important to me anymore I've been the opposite in a weird way. I think because everything else has stopped and there's not a lot else going on at the minute there is no distraction from football. I don't have my usual releases, so I've found that my frustration at football is amplified and I can't escape from it. I'd say the way I felt after Brighton, Chelsea, Bournemouth and Spurs is up there with the angriest I've felt after football. Normally I can pretty much brush it off after an hour or so, but in lockdown it sticks around for a couple of days. I can't wait for it all to be over with to be honest and go back to the bliss of not being angry about things like substitutions, high lines, VAR, handballs and Dominic ****ing Solanke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 I have zero expectations for this game but I'm looking forward to it.

Mapperleyfox Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 We've got a few things working against us in this game... 1.United in form and we're looking vulnerable and predictable. 2. Too many injuries to key players leaves us short on quality. 3. The ref and VAR is going to work against us in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were poor - albeit very lucky - against Palace and awful against Chelsea. They have attacking talent in abundance but are very vulnerable at the back.

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 21 July 2020 Share Posted 21 July 2020 I think our only hope is Chelsea lose both of theirs and we scrape a draw against United. I just can't see us beating United. They will definitely score goals, so we need the indifferent shooting boots to match them. 3-3 with a Vardy golden boot winning trick!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would put them +3 over us. If we beat them by one goal it would only reduce it to +1. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
