Need to bring on Arphexad and Fenton for the penalty shootout.

Get Zelkjo Kalac on, and watch Albrighton shin on top scorer.

TBF, Perez can’t come back soon enough...

We could do a lot worse than having their forward Sima in our squad. Tall, quick, good movement. Good with his head too. 

He is dogshit mate like the rest of their team 😂 A team with champions league aspirations will be aiming higher then a fast beanpole with the touch of a baby elephant id hope.

I’m surprised at those stats, it feels like they’ve been the better team.

Only if you've been 'watching' the game on FT. 

[jayfox26 2,419]

I'd get Hamza off at half time just for that dive alone. Honking! 

[Foxy_Bear 2,691]

They score and its over. No way are we scoring two...

 

[Jack1993 419]

Did she just say that this knock-out game  of football is a “must win” game for Leicester? 😂

Get Youri back in central midfield and someone closer to Vardy.

And who pray tell would that be?

[mozartfox 5,373]

Are some of them wearing Corsets in readiness for some Goal celebrations??

Get the attacking players on. Kill the game. Manage the game. 

 

It's not worth risking them scoring a goal when we need two and it's too late. They'll just sit back in their defensive shape as that's what they seem comfortable with. 

Vardy needs support. Get Ricardo on for Amartey so that Under has some help going forward as it'll take some defenders away from him. 

Barnes on for Choudhury, drop Tielemans deeper and we'll start to see some big improvements. 

 

Then save the remaining 3 subs to manage the game out. 

Agree. 

 

Rodgers tried fo “manage” the game when we have not won yet. Now it is risky for us. If they nick a goal, they will park the bus and it is over. We must score first.

 

No wonder Rodgers has never gotten past round of 32 in any cup competition before. Hope he changes things at HT.

Poor - yes, frustrating - yes but....

 

 

[Sampson 3,184]

Did they deliberately pick the shortest and tallest presenters and put them alongside each other as a bit of a laugh?

[Clever Fox 1,578]

We need to move Youri back with Wilf in his usual position. Then bring on Harvey to play up front and quicken the game up.

[winteriscoming 1,230]

Take chodury off bring Barnes on. Put tielmans back into the midfield alongside Ndidi. Put Barnes thru the middle off Vardy. 

[City1884 205]

Ricardo for Amartey, Mendy for Choudhury, and Before the game I said Barnes instead of Under, but I’m now 50/50 between taking Under off or Albrighton. Albrighton provides better for Vardy, and is less selfish than Under, but Under is getting into better positions.

 

We need to take the game to them. Amatory gives us no width, and Choudhury only plays backwards.

[when_you're_smiling 427]

They’ve been the better team to be fair and have already wasted two decent chances. Can’t see us getting one, never mind two if they put one of those away.

 

Can understand not playing Ricardo as he’s going to be vital up against Saka v Arsenal, but we look completely clueless in that final third and need another overlap on the right.

 

We’re without Nacho, Perez and Praet who could have filled in for Maddison and one, it not two, would have started here if fit. Only way to get Tielemans back into his usual role from what we have on the bench is to maybe try and play Barnes in that number 10 role. Unless you chance one of the kids.

Thoughts?

 

Pretty crap, but it’s clear it’s going to be a cagey tie that’s played over 180 mins. We’re only halfway through. I’d make a small tactical change to get Youri higher up the pitch closer to Vardy, then give it 15-20 mins before looking to Ricardo and Barnes.

True, not with the current lineup anyway.

They look better defensively and they've created better chances = They've been the better team. 

 

[Harry5 13]

Do we expect anything more at this stage with so many defensive players on the pitch?

I thought same against Liverpool.

[Corky 14,480]

Ricardo one side, Barnes the other. Under in the middle, Tielemans back next to Ndidi. Choudhury and Albrighton off I reckon.

[Dan LCFC 12,052]

This is what I feared it would be. Injuries all over the place, nobody that creative available and up against a limited, but organised and tough to play against side. I think this season's starting to take its toll on us sadly.
