West Brom (A) - 13/09/2020 - Match Thread

If we're selling gray couldnt we have waited until midweek, he's a better option off the bench than albrighton

[KingsX]

Jesus ... I no sooner get up and NBC is playing with my mind ... did WBA change managers overnight?

Mendy in favour of hamza

Makes me happy we extended Mendy.

What he's taller now?

If we'd extended him by about 2 foot, he could've played centre back

Ndidi looked comfortable there in pre season but he is prone to rash challenges in the box and giving penalties away, hopefully he can resist it.

Good job he’s next to a calm partner who definitely doesn’t ever lunge in!

Good to see Sky has changed 40 mins to KO, could be talking about us or West Brom.

 

Nope let's focus on Jose and Spurs 

 

[Finnegan]

Is Wes injured? 

[ozleicester]

0-3 Vardy, Soy, Justin

[the fox]

Honesty, I don't feel too positive about the lineup.

 

Mendy isn't a very good DM and the midfield isn't the best to close distance and dispossess the other team's players. 

 

From what i saw, Through balls and passes between the CB and FB are something they do good. Periera is a top player. Silky and can pick a pass

Gray must be off

I'm content with that line up based on injuries and unfinished transfer business. It should be enough to win even it its not ideal. 

 

We need to start on the front foot and move the ball quickly. We need Mendy tidying things up and not being left dwindling on the ball with little options ahead of him, we need that coming from Youri and the wide lads.

Fake news, surely? He's going to Villa midseason after they sack Smith. Why else would Agent Shakespeare be there already?!

[Vacamion]

 

In years to come:

 

Remember that game we played the opener behind closed doors with a midfielder at Centre Back ?

 

Strange days.

 

Still, hope springs.  Gwon Citeh

Evidence? 

The 2019-20 season.

[Sampson]

Has there ever been a Leicester XI with 3 internationals from the #1 ranked nation in the world before?

[Shane]

Good to see Fuchs is available.

Frightening 🤣🤣🤣

 

Based on this, do Sky also have Jonny Evans playing at CB for West Brom?

[dmayne7]

Decent line up but a bit disappointed Knight isn't starting or at least on the bench.

 

And not that I'm some massive Gray fan but I guess he must be injured if he's not on the bench otherwise that's odd.

Gives us the option of moving JJ into CB if Wilf is struggling

[EastAnglianFox]

We will be comfortable up until about the 65th minute when we bring on Hamza to sure things up and Albion bring on Charlie Austin who is then made to look like prime Lewondoski for 20 minutes of absolute pain for us. 

[splinterdream]

My worry is that we won't have enough creativity up front, West brom will smother us and hit us on the break. We just need more attacking options as this is how most teams are going to set up against us, this is why we play better with teams that push up. This shows we need another forward, a winger and a centre half at the very least 

[trabuch]

I'm feeling quite optimistic. I give it until 5 mins after KO

Only just seen that! Can play CB too, so would be helpful if we need to go to 3 at the back.
