Putting our tickets on resale again for this one. Can't face another 230 mile round trip to see Arsenal stroll to an easy win whilst Ruud employs exactly the same approach that has led to 8 defeats in 9. Fear that I'm losing my love for the club. Even my boys are not bothered for this one as they think it will be a certain defeat anyway. Sad times. 

Keep the faith guys

This is a blow for us

This fixture 2 years ago around the same time of the year was one of the worst games I have ever watched. My daughter said "i'm not sure if I want to go to games again if they are like that"

I was traumatised by that match. Jorginho went down with 3 separate head injuries each time we got a bit of momentum. Worst time wasting ever aided by a weak ref.

A song for Arse:

 

Oompah Loompah Doo-bah-dee-do

We won the League more recent than you

 

Oompah Loompah Doo-bah-dee-dee

You came second to Leicester City

Adopting the insanity principal - we need to try something different. 

For me that involves having some physical competitiveness across the pitch:

Woyo reminds me of a shit Wan Bissaka, Okoli of a shit Calvin Bassey - so hopefully a bit more competitiveness from them will enable us to get outpaced, outlept etc in defence as much. I hate to see Faes on the team sheet, but Coady and Vestergaard are so slow if you shot them in slow mo mode on a mobile you would never get to the end of the video. and this has been scientifically checked btw. 

It's a toss between Justin and McAteer for me on the RWB slot. 

Ndidi and Soumare are our most competitive and progressive two in midfield. We look a different proposition vs Man Yoo when they were on the field. 

Thomas looked better than Kristiansen has all season when he played the other night so deserves a shot. 

Ayew and BDCR have a high floor but a low ceiling. We have to have the bollocks to play Bilal and Buona as inside left and right, feeding Vardy. 

If Vard is fit he is our man for 60mins. With Dake or Ayew to come on after. 

 

I'd have Monga and one or two of the other yound lads on the bench as we need a bit of something different. Skipp sitting there is doing no one any favours and Coady can go and sit on wolves bench if he is just here for the bants.

 

That all said Leicester 1 - Arsenal 4

 

Hermansen

Woyo Okoli Faes

Justin Ndidi Soumare Thomas

You’d actually consider playing McAteer as a wing back against Arsenal? 👀🤣

I wouldn't even consider him for the bench!

Yet unusually positioned, with a space on either side. What does that tell you?!

No Havertz for Arsenal. Potential Sterling-Trossard-Nwaneri attacking line. Would be typical Leicester to let Sterling score after his dreadful season so far.

Yes, I'd imagine it'll be Trossard left, Stirling down the middle and Nwaneri RHS (they actually don't have anyone else!)

What this means is that they actually have pace down the middle now.

On this basis, I wouldn't start Vestergaard, I'd go with Faes and Okoli

Wonder what RVN will do?

I think he'll go with Faes and Okoli, with Ndidi and Soumare as the two DCMs. It will be interesting to see whether he trusts Justin against Trossard or finally gives Coulibaly his first start.

[Ethan RL]

I'd honestly go Luke Thomas on the left. Idk about the right hand-side though, JJ did look good first half against United tbf. Would be interesting to see how Woyo fairs on his preferred right-hand side. Tough game to bring him into though even with all their injuries.

I think JJ plays better on the Left than he does on the RHS. JJ has had a shocker this season, although I think his individual performances have improved in the last three games

I'm not convinced by Kristiensan. 

I don't rate Thomas at all.

 

I'd go with Woyo on the RHS and Justin on the Left

 

WC Faes Okoli JJ

[RoboFox]

Change it up. Time to roll the dice. We're in the desperate times now and it's clear what we're doing isn't working.

 

Start Woyo. Start Okoli.

 

If he goes with the same back four that got pumped at Everton then serious questions have to be asked of the ability of the manager to assess the situation.

Rumours abound that the squad didn't fly out there at all after hearing about state of the art facilities to rent closer to home

Fairs. I'm not convinced at all by VK either hence why I think Thomas should at least be in with a shout of starting.

JJ on the left and WC on the right may be the best solution now I think about it.

 

Was impressed by JJ's interceptions and attacking play against United and even Tottenham tbf. Still a liability defensively.

Even more depressing that we are gonna get torn to bits by Nwaneri, Sterling and Leandro fackin Trossard
