Villa (A) Sunday 5th Dec @ 4.30 - pre match

[Stevosevic]

Tough game. 

 

We could get bullied if we continue to be soft. 

[Gazza3]

They have a long  throw in which means we ll concede several times

KDH has to start over Soumare. Villa likely to press us high and frequently, Soumare will struggle if so.

 

Wonder if Vardy will be rested for Napoli? 

 

Expect the back 4 to stay the same. 

 

Barnes and Lookman need a rocket up their arses if they do play.

 

[Will1981]

Kasper

 

Castagne - Amartey - Soyuncu - Thomas

 

Ndidi

 

Hamza - KDH

 

Perez

 

Daka - Nacho

 

rest Evans and Vardy for Napoli.

[moore_94]

Do we try the diamond again?

 

Would honestly bring both KDH and Choudhury in to try and pack that midfield and drop Soumare

 

[Izzy]

Hate to admit it but think we'll lose this

[Nalis]

Cant wait for the 'Stevie G vs Brendan' media coverage borefast 

[adam]

Gonna be a struggle especially with the way we defend. If we start like we did today we could end up getting hammered. 

[shailen]

This is a tough game. They look rejuvenated under Gerrard and are a tricky side to face at the moment.

Happily take a nil nil bore here

Kdh to start this. Apparently he’s the second coming. I must of missed this in the Southampton game……

If we're worried about being bullied in midfield I suspect we'll start with Soumare.

Were you actually at the game?, it was clear as day the lad made a massive difference when he came on.

Not sure anyone is saying he is the second coming, just that he deserves a run to see whether he can be a regular starter.

I know Soumare had quite the.... performance today but I feel like he's made for this sort of system where he's got another 8 next to him and someone behind him for cover. It's no surprise he did his best work when paired with Youri.

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Quite concerned about how aggressive they’ll be and how we’ll handle their press and atmosphere. 
 

They’ll give us chances though so fancy this to be another high scoring open game.

I watched the game. Not debating the lad has potential but I wasn’t convinced. He did ok. Hope he gets a chance and does well but atm imo he’s decent without being exceptional. Apologies but some on here making him out to be something he’s not. Just my opinion. Don’t mind being ridiculed or criticised for having a different opinion from the majority. 

[Guest SO1]

If we play as aggressively as we played 2nd half tonight then its game on.

Knowing us we will go into the break losing, then decide to play football once it’s too late probably scoring a late goal to get our hopes up.

 

Its the Leicester way

Perhaps because  you didn't watch it? 

[Steve Earle]

Ward.

 

Ten others.

 

🙄

[jayfox26]

Not having that we should rest Vardy or Evans for Napoli. Our league form is a concern and we need to start winning games. We aim to win the Villa game with our strongest available team (God knows what that even is these days but it definitely involves Evans and Vardy) and then we worry about Napoli. Daka is our man in Europe anyway so wouldn't make sense playing Vardy against Napoli.

Well sometimes being at a match things look a bit different from watching on tv, from my perspective he sparked us into life with his industry and a first thought which was to go forward.I believe there is a very decent player in there.

Was our best player with Maddison in the second half?
