Saints (H) Pre-match - The El Shatico

[fazzyfox]

With the number of wing options unavailable and the daunting prospect of watching Ayew waddle around like a constipated duck for 75 minutes again I was going to suggest going to 3 CB’s ,wing backs and two up top. But then I remembered how s**t our full backs, centre backs and second strikers are .

 

Just keep the non trying ones away from the stadium completely, they’ve had their chance, that ship has sailed (or sunk!) keep their toxicity away from the young’uns.

I'd play this;  no place in the matchday squad for Hermansen, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin, Winks, Soumare, Buonanotte, Kristiansen, Daka, Ayew, Bobby DR. A total waste of time playing any of them as they aren't going to be involved next year in all likelihood, and there's no sentiment in playing them (which i'd argue there is for Ndidi and Vardy both of whom who have been great servants).  Who wants to see them clapping their way round the king power before doing the off in the summer. I'd argue no one. 

Treat it like an FA Cup game where we want to go for it but also want to blood youngsters. 

 

 

Stolarcyk

Ricardo Okoli Coady Thomas

Ndidi Skipp

Monga El Khannous Mavididi

Evans

 

bring Vardy on second half so he can get toward his 500th appearance before final game.

 

Subs; Briggs, Joseph, Braybrooke, Cartwright, Vardy, B Amartey, Aluko, Golding, AN Other Goalkeeper

 

 

BDCR and Facundo injured, as are Ricardo and Mavididi

Anyone watch the training video? Why s Ayew talking to his shoe?

Hello Shannon? 
It’s Jordan Ayew…

[Tielemans63]

Interesting how many players aren't playing because they don't want to get injured before they lea....sorry, I meant are genuinely injured.

[Corky]

****ing hell, El Khannouss is going to be even more flogged than he usually is dragging Vardy and Ayew with him.

[Foxin_Mad]

Please just play the young lads for the future, if you are building the future then bar Vardy let’s not see the insufferable lazy shit ***** again give us something to work with other than dads army

[Sol thewall Bamba]

How many combined minutes for Academy players then as we're "shaping the future"? 

 

I'll guess 98, a full 90+4 for McAteer (because we have no other fit "wingers"), and the token 4 minutes for Monga. 

 

OH I forgot about the goalkeeper! Does he count?

Ruud gave an impassioned speech - "Reach out and connect with your inner feelings, speak to your soul"

[Haywood_6]

Oh, another home game? We won’t score, they’ll score, and we’ll lose. Classic. Honestly, I’m glad I haven’t been to the KP since February. I can’t support this group of players or the manager, or owners actually. I really don’t think they even care. Southampton don’t worry you might be bad but we’re worse.

Still trying to work out if I respect or despise people who are going to this.

Wierdly I'll be at this game after not going since January, and it will be my last one as a season ticket holder as I got rid of my Ipswich ticket on the re-sale platform

 

Realistically it will be my last game ever unless someone lends me a ticket!

 

Had enough of donating hard earned cash to millonaires masquerading as footballers.

It's not just the Leicester team that are disliked, most PL footballers have lost sight of themselves now.

 

My pet hate is the players that ignore fans on the way into the ground wearing their anti-social headphones etc

[DezFox]

We have a few injuries so would hope to see some younger players and players not usually starting have a chance. However, you just know Ayew, faes, soumare, Coady, Justin all start. What’s the point. 
 

Should be playing Okoli, skipp, woyo, Monga, Evans, Golding etc, he won’t  

 

 

Jakub, woyo, okoli, Coady, Thomas, skipp, Golding, Monga, Evans, bilal,  vardy (only becuase he is leaving)

I'd give Coulibaly a go as a winger. We have signed him, he might as well get some minutes and see how he does.

Leicester City debut possible as Ruud van Nistelrooy turns to 'very gifted' teenager
The 18-year-old signed from Chelsea for £5m last summer but apart from an appearance on the bench at Walsall last September, he's not been in senior contention this season

Michael Golding could make his Leicester City debut this weekend, nearly 10 months after his £5m transfer from Chelsea.

The teenage attacking midfielder is in contention for a place on the bench against Southampton amid a host of fresh injuries in City’s ranks.

Ricardo Pereira, Facundo Buonanotte and Bobby De Cordova-Reid have all been ruled out after being substituted against Wolves, and Golding, who travelled to Molineux as the spare man, is a strong contender to be included among the substitutes on Saturday.

 

 

 

Signed from Chelsea last July after a deal that saw Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall head the other way for £30m, Golding has barely been seen during his first season at the King Power Stadium.

The 18-year-old was an unused substitute for the Carabao Cup tie at Walsall last September but has not been in a senior matchday squad since.

He has been limited to just seven Premier League 2 outings with the Under-21s as well, with injuries affecting his campaign.

However, after maintaining his fitness for a while, and having trained with the senior squad for a few weeks, there’s now potential for him to make a long-awaited debut.

“You will see a very creative number 10 player, an offensive midfield player,” van Nistelrooy said this week when asked what Golding could provide.

“He’s technically very gifted and very good in possession play and creating rhythm in attacks, with the final pass.

“He’s had quite a few injuries but he’s back now. With the amount of injuries now, he’s also one who could make the squad this week.”

It’s expected that the three-man attacking line behind Jamie Vardy will be formed by Bilal El Khannouss centrally and then Kasey McAteer and Jordan Ayew wide.

But with every other senior player for those roles out injured, Golding, Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans are expected to be the substitutes and all three could get onto the pitch together.

He'll get 10 minutes, touch the ball twice and everyone will say hes a bag of sh1te. Then we won't see him again for the rest of the season.

[HitchinFox]

I'm only going because my 10-year-old wants to see Vardy one more time. He did't even say "score one more time". Just see him. 

 

It's all very sad, how this season has turned out, isn't it. 

 

[SuperMike]

Both sides relegated. Therefore nothing to play for but pride. 

Only one winner then - our lot don't have an ounce of pride between them.

Skipp and Goulding in a 2 would finally be enough to tip me over the edge 

[Gazza M]

               Jakob

Woyo  Coady Okoli Thomas

           Skipp   Ndidi

   Monga   Bilal   Ayew

               Vardy

 

What a shambles of a Prem side but about all we have.

You couldn't gas light me anymore if you tried Leicester.

Southampton have scored 7 out of their last 10 games. Inevitable result.
