Arsenal (H) - 25 February

[Gazza M]

Iheanacho needs to get back on it if we are going to have some success. Must hold the ball up better to give our breaks any chance. The ball just bounced off him 2nd half at Man U. 

 

Don't want to go Daka or Vardy up top alone as we will just be giving them the ball back all afternoon if we attempt to get it out of our own half. 

[RowlattsFox]

The amount of Leicester based Arsenal fans asking for tickets on my social media pages is ridiculous. I'd love to **** their title challenge up. Easily hate them more than any other big club. 

[Bazly]

Anything from this game would be a bonus. Cannot see them not scoring at least twice and our chances of scoring twice are slim.

[TheLittleBigMan]

We'll have these lot. They are dog sh*t.

Same here. Even my brother asked me if I could get a ticket for his mate and my brother is a Leicester supporter. He is now on the naughty boy list. I dislike spurs more but have similar feelings about these and Chelsea. Ok Man Utd too. 

[gerrytaggart]

Easiest 3 points of the season.

[ronnup]

Be a miracle of we get anything 

[Ric Flair]

Still be tempted to start the same team as Sunday.

 

I'd have thought Soumare would come in for Mendy but he was diabolical when he came on vs Man Utd.

[Pliskin]

I have a feeling Tete is going to make Zinchenko soil himself. This is the game kids. The game he’s unleashed.

[Wymsey]

Can't help but think that this will be an excellent win; this is Leicester.

 

Am not convinced with their backline.

 

4-1, Vardy and Tete to score.

[suffolk fox]

Think this will be a 2 2 draw....arsenal are good this season but martinez and his time wasting tactics cost villa a point....they can be got at let's hope the Leicester of the first 25mins at old Trafford turn up.

We are going to beat these, in a very convincing  way 3 Nil, dont know why given Man Utd result, think De Ghea, was the difference for them, poor finishing from us, and Ward unconvincing.

I thought he didn’t look match fit at all. Soumare seems to be one of those players who needs a run in the team but if he plays like that he isn’t going to get it. It’s down to him to impress.

He's a winger, he can't turn it on in every game.

 

He's a 1 in 3 performer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope!

I'd love it! ..Love it!!! If we beat this lot.

Meeting up with a couple of mates who are arsenal fans that are in the away end. Is there any pubs in the city that allow away fans in ? Any places to avoid? They don't wear colours etc. Just don't want to be walking about trying to get a pint all afternoon 

[sacreblueits442]

...I  am a bit concerned withe Tete, just finding his feet in a new team, new surroundings and attempting to settle at the moment!!!

  He has had moments where he has cut in on his left but his end product has very much been nowhere what you would expect. That move is what he does in his sleep,  not pulling off a goal opportunity with a shot on target, is starting to ring a few bells. I would have expected him to have made the keeper work in those instances but shots have been flying into the crowds.

  Once he comes inside, there his an opportunity to roll a ball in for Nacho, Maddison or a dink ball over the top for Barnes attacking the far post, so plenty of options to choose from. We haven't secured him yet, and we need a permanent Right Winger and for me Tsygankov was lethal in those situations as he has the ability to wrap his foot around the ball and is very effective in deadball situations much closer to goal, where Maddison struggles at.

  Let us all hope that Tete shines for the rest of the season, but if this does not work out, we need to pull out the stops to bring in Tsygankov, we need to get a better balanced team,  and that starts with a permanent Right Winger.

Leicester must be great for away fans. Only real two stand outs to avoid being the Market Tavern and F Bar.

I have been disappointed with the way we have used TETE , the only time we use him is when he marked , we need to give him the ball when he’s in space

In my book Soumare should only be an option of last resort.

 

He’s shown flashes of promise, but he just doesn’t have the speed of thought to be a success in the Premier League.

In the PL you don't get space. In normal play you get somebody immediately in your face. He has to show the ball control or pace to beat his man. Once again we have to say do not compare him to Mahrez. He does however know how to defend, which our French friend rarely did.

Pretty sure the Counting House let's away fans in
