Iversen, Amartey, Soyuncu, vestergaard, hamza, mendy, soumare, Albrighton, Perez, Daka, Iheanacho. 

should be good enough to beat  Brentford

Weirdly i'd still back that team to beat Brentford.

It is all the u21s on the bench! Alves for the winner (a worldie, so Frank could have his moan.)

Shit, I know it’s been a tough summer recruitment wise, but surely we can do better than giving the gloves to Amartey!!

"so if you're just joining us Leicester are leading Brentford 3-0 and Jannik vestergaard is on a hat-trick "

You can't underestimate a collective group who are focused on their goal. They have that and we certainly don't. I'm not sure I'd make us favourites just because we're better on paper.

How old are you? Starting a season with Rob Kelly in the bottom third of the championship is definitely less exciting than this

33. Maybe that was the optimism of youth

 

To be honest I posted towards the back end of last season that football just isn't doing it for me lately so it's not just a reaction based on this summer window. Hoping the buzz returns

Same. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Think Brentford will struggle this season, 2nd season syndrome and all that.

 

3-1 

[foxfanazer]

Still reckon we'll win on Sunday though

Weaker goalkeeper, but stronger defence with Castagne, Fofana, Evans and Justin as a back 4 hopefully. Add in KDH too and if anything it's stronger overall. 

Agreed!

I imagine a lot of our better players also are feeling the same way.. could get nasty for Brendan Rodgers behind the scenes.

Really don’t think it will affect us that much on that score. Rodgers didn’t sell Schmeichel. He wanted to leave. Kasper is notoriously a loud voice behind the scenes, if he’s not on board, it’s better he’s out of the environment. 
 

Heard very mixed reviews on how he is as an actual bloke but Schmeichel doesn’t suffer fools gladly.

I haven’t seen anything on our pre season to suggest we aren’t united. If anything all this speculation seems to have developed some siege mentality amongst the squad

Brendan said he was fine, so probably out for 18 months

I remember being really pumped for the season in the early ‘000s when we were starting against Bolton and got horrendously dicked . My excitement disappeared and trepidation grew right there 

[FoxInTheBox89]

I have a feeling Fofana will be dropped for this due to this socials and we will go for Cags

Yes “pre season friendly “ in Spanish translates as “ get out there and maim as many opposition players as possible in 90 minutes”

I think Amartey would probably come in before Cags (not that I agree with that, but just what I think BR would do) 

 

I think Fofana will start anyway to give the "nothing to see here" impression. 

If Fofana goes this window or next then Cags will be our new *future* so I think Brendan will be inclined to put his eggs in that basket even if somewhat reluctantly
