Kristiansen 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Barnes

Maddison

Iheanacho

Vardy

Daka

Tete

iirc Praet had a great game vs leeds in the home fixture. Barnes loves a goal against these lot as well

 

 

Castagne was good yesterday but unfortunately we can't pick two of him!

Madders and Barnes in for Vardy and Daka if they are both available.

 

Exact same game plan as the Wolves match but with a knowledge that we will need to quieten the crowd down in first 10 minutes.

 

I really fancy us for both this and Everton

[Andy11111]

Why not just play the same team that he did against Wolves?

Think its been so long seeing soyuncu in a Leicester shirt my brain didn’t register him as a player

Not if Barnes and Maddison are fit and available!!!... they must come straight back in for Tielemans and Vardy.

Because i think that was a comprise selection due to sickness / injury.  Daka played Barnes' role and Vardy and Kelly were shoehorned in because Madders was out. Vardy can't start 2 games in a week.

...not sure about leaving Tete out or having a midfield where Tielemans is playing so many games in a short period and looking for Soumare to be the anchor in the middle of the park.

  Vardy much like Tielemans too many games in  a short period but as a seasoned professional you can understand why the new management wants to keep him in. What we do not wish to see, is Smith keeping him in the side, thinking it would be political suicide if he used him other than first choice.

Think it has to be 2 teams as such with some players in the knowledge they’re getting 45 minutes. I don’t think it’s ability that will win our next 2 games, it’s who puts in the most work. Smith has done well with his subs so far so that will be crucial I think.

Why though, we won without them, why change it now

We absolutely have to win this. I think if we save ourselves Leeds are the only ones likely to take our place, so this is a 6 pointer in the purest sense. Still think Everton will grind their way out of it, even with their fixtures.

The SuperComputer said Everton will get relegated a few weeks back. I still pick Everton over Leeds.

[Steve Earle]

Same team but with Barnes & Maddison for Daka and Vardy. Daka and Vardy on the bench instead of the work-experience lad from Shepshed and Madivadua.

[LboroLeeds]

Folks, honestly don't stress yourselves over Tuesday, it will be a comfortable win for you.

 

We are beyond awful, have zero confidence, mentally weak and most simply don't care.

 

Goalie is shot to bits

Defence is weak

Midfield has no legs, strength or creativity

Got a few decent attackers but we set up  not to lose so they don't get in the game.

 

Put your feet up, chill out, have a few beers and enjoy the game.

 

Oh and Barnes to score and you to win is 6/1... thank me later 🤣

Leaves Praet, Daka, Tete and Vardy as impact subs. Winnable game.

This is the team i think he wanted to start against Wolves.

 

Deano says no to a defensive mid. Cags got it covered and it gives Soumare more freedom.  We can bring Ndidi on when we are 3-0 up.

Fascinated to see how Barnes plays under different management

 

I, and many others have been rightly critical of him because you can only comment on what you see. The reasons our obvious.

 

I know he is a better player than BR had him playing (as our many others)

 

Our second goal was down to traditional and effective wing play (albeit by a FB)  We (HB)  can't go back to predictable stopping the ball, passing back, 1-2s that are easy to read and running into walls of defenders.

I'm not sure it really worked, not in the first half anyway. It was nice that we went with an attacking lineup but the midfield was bypassed far too easily and Daka wasn't tracking back at all. Thankfully the centre backs were superb. Can't see Vardy starting on Tuesday

Don't mention Ward..

I did, but I think I got away with it.

Sounds like ur manager may be getting tips from old Brendan, we can't brag what you describe sounds a bit like us only 2 matches ago, nothing is certain let's hope it's a good match that Leicester win Leeds 1 Leicester 3

Beat these and go above them keep there terrible run going and it will be hard to see them picking up any more points before the end of the season with the run they have. Few early goals really out the pressure on them and keep picking them off on the counter once they try get back into the game . Vardy could be good to come on as a sub with 30 mins to go think he will get a goal in this.
