Be madness to keep playing KDH, in serious danger of over playing him as it is. His biggest facet is his work rate, the more we play him 3 times a week the less useful that's going to be when he's got no recovery time.

He certainly needs a rest and I think I'd opt to do that vs Villa rather than tonight.

2-0. Dewsbury Hall hat trick

If Hamza doesn't start today then surely his Leicester career is done? The fact that he hasn't factored into any rotation so far as startling, especially when we have seen how much KDH and Youri is getting played.

Surely we can't play Hamza and Mendy together. We'd end up sitting way too deep and would struggle to pass through the lines effectively.

So, back to my original question. Who can you rotate with KHD and Tielemans? The initial complaint was overplaying Tielemans.

I'd fancy a weaker midfield up against the absolute dross/wasters Everton will be lining up with tonight rather than the likes of McGinn. Imagine if Hamza could play football, we'd have a formidable middle two in him and KDH with the yards they could cover.

[WigstonWanderer]

Was real hoping these would go down, and that we’d play a major part in making that happen. But after the lack of ambition shown against Newcastle that doesn’t seem very likely.

Perfect opportunity for a U23 or U18 prospect in for KHD or Tielemans, at least for half a game. Gives them a rest and gives someone a chance. You don't get many games like tonight's. Braybrook looking good at the moment @moore_94or @Ric Flairknow a lot more about who would be suitable.

Braybrooke in Tielemans is style of play, whether he's even remotely ready for 1st team football at this level remains to be seen. I'm less sure on him than some others as he is so slight in size and I've seen him crumble in games for the U18/U23's when completely swamped but that happens very very rarely bit is a danger at this level whilst he's not quite as robust as he's likely to be in another year or two.

 

Wanya Marca is ready but he's more an ACM/RW.

2 options:

 

Youri and KDH play for 45 mins each tonight; or

 

One of them plays for 60 mins and the other 30 tonight, with roles reversed v Villa.

Hamza earlier has had a couple of decent games in a more forward role..

KDH needs a rest - personally I would bench him tonight and avoid bringing him on if possible.

[Ric Flair]

Call me mad but I think we'll score more than 2 in a league game for the first time in 2022. 

 

3-1 Leicester - Maddison 2 and Iheanacho

Shame if true, he's been absolutely garbage since his recent return from injury.

Got to beat these miserable bastards 

 

Really would prefer these to go down 

[Ely fox]

Hi does anyone know any live stream

links? He’s goal link doesn’t work any longer. Thanks. 

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

I'm not confident for this at all. Especially given that we threw our positive momentum away at the weekend. They have a lot more at stake so will be infinitely more motivated. 

[goody2028]

Birthday win tonight please lads x 

[Supergray22]

1-2 Leicester win. Maddison and lookman. Mina header from corner. COYB 🦊

[Scanchez]

Think we'll lose but I'm a miserable bastard so take that with a pinch of salt.

2-1 Everton.
 

Winning goal by Richarlison from a 97th minute corner 

[wardyfox86]

Don't understand this "they'll want it more" tripe. They're down there because they're poorly managed and just aren't very good, they should have "wanted it more" weeks ago.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Think we have to roll these over tonight. 2-0.
