Slavia Prague (H) - 8pm - Thursday 25th Feb - BT Sport / ESPN - Pre Match Thread

I am pretty sure we saw the best of them but still have so much to offer from ourselves. Yes they looked threatening at times, but an on form Leicester would absolutely put them to sleep.

 

I don't think we'll cruise, but i think we will have the quality on the night to progress to the next round.

 

2-0

 

Tielemans & Barnes 

[goody2028 1,451]

Vardy, Barnes x 2 and tielemans to bag on his 57th start this season. 3-0 win and into hat please. 

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner 871]

Out the blocks fast and get this done by half time, I want to see a midfield 3 of Ndidi, Mendy & Choudhury again

Seeing as everyone loves specific personnel, might as well go with this...

 

Kasper

 

Amartey - Soyuncu - Fuchs

Castagne                                                       Thomas

Mendy - Hamza

 

Under - Youri - Albrighton

 

Barnes

You’d hope we’d win with 12. Sadly, expulsion would prove harder to beat. 

[Dan LCFC 12,050]

I can see a massive slog of a game that we eventually win 1-0. The amount we have out though is worrying, without this many missing I think I'd be confident but they're not going to make this easy.

Every single time ffs

[Les-TA-Jon 1,458]

Was amazed to see Vardy start today vs Villa, let alone play all 90. 
 

No Perez or Nacho too. 

[Hollyfox 962]

If they get their noses in front, it'll be very difficult. 

As we saw last week, their gamesmanship can make things really frustrating. 

Get a lead early on, and I think we'll do them comfortably 

[Corky 14,460]

Honestly, going out is probably a better result.

 

However, not the right mentality. The manager and players seemed pissed off with the first leg stuff so I expect a fast start and an attacking line-up.

Any U23s striker likely to get a place on the bench? 

None of them have been with us more than 3 years

Vardy for 60/70 then Barnes up top after then? Can't see Vardy doing another 90 minutes on midweek

Yes, really couldn't see the point of 90 minutes today and Iheanacho would have given Villa a different problem to wrestle with.

And that’s what I meant

This could go either way especially with away goals rules.

No problem, I have plenty more nuggets of wisdom to share. Watch this space.

Alright @THEBIGJOHNSTEADER;..

Can't see a great performance against The Arse next Sunday after a hard, physical game Thursday evening!

In all honesty the blistering start against Villa surprised me and makes me think we could be ok. If we can start like we do at home and get 2-0 up at half time we could sit and counter Slavia. This could give us the extra rest ahead of the Arsenal game.

[Ric Flair 23,028]

As if Tavares doesn't make his debut in this game. Will be another one for the Ric Flair scrapbook an'all.

They have an important game Thursday too against arguably a better side.

Nervous.  Yes we are the better team, but anything can happen in one game and if they score first... nervous.  Having no real 2nd option to Vardy for striker position is not ideal (I'd guess if needed they'd put Barnes up there?).  I'd imagine Prague also rested pretty much their whole squad today and can afford to rest them game after us because they are so far out of sight in their league.

We need to start getting over our lacking Jamie phobia...his goal previous to the Liverpool tap in was a penalty against Spurs December 20th....in that time we have lost one match, playing Man U, Chelsea, Everton and Liverpool....Barnes and Maddison main suppliers of goals if needed then Kelechi and Perez......
