lgfualol Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 I wondered that too, considering it's the only home game we have around that period you would have thought to so, but it looks like club aren't going to bother this year Too busy doing showcase events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Kasper, DeLaet, Morgan, Moore, Konchesky, James or Cambiasso, Drinkwater Schlupp, King, Nugent or Ulloa, Vardy. Pace, passing, width, energy and scoring potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 We will probably see a good performance from the lads following our recent games not winning. We're unbeaten at home too so I think this one will be a good match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Schlupp as a centre midfielder . I think I almost see the thinking in it, Schlupp and De Laet providing the width going forward with James/Drinks in the middle. If he was actually to play in CM though it'd be a disaster. I think his brain would explode from the amount of thinking he'd have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry - LCFC Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Well he's been shit all season so it won't make much of a difference really. Been one of our better performers this season. Had a number of excellent performances (Everton, Chelsea) this season generally been fairly solid. I know it's not a perfect measure but he's done well on the weekly ratings Stuilasz is running. If he's been "shit all season" (as opposed to mediocre for three games which is what he's actually been) we'll have to get a new squad in January because most of them have been worse than him.

Thracian Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Schlupp as a centre midfielder . Filbertway's seen my thinking on the subject and Schlupp scored a hat-trick the last time I saw him play that kind of role at Rotherham in a cup game. We need supply from the left and Schlupp can do that from a four-man diamond. DeLaet can create width from the right and we still retain both enough bodies in midfield and the threat of two strikers (plus King) which should dissuade the opposition from committing too many bodies forward. Schlupp has the pace, strength and skill to play midfield while also having the pace to make some width and perhaps even get around the back occasionally with King's assistance. Who else offers as many options while still being a reasonably capable defender in these days of multi-tasking footballers? It isn't perfect. I don't see anything even potentiallly perfect among our options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjslcfc Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/301014-pearson-optimistic-about-captains-fitness-2051876.aspx Pearson Optimistic About Captain's Fitness Posted: Thu 30 Oct 2014 Author: Leicester City Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson isn’t worried about the fitness of captain Wes Morgan ahead of his side’s clash with West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.The Jamaican international has played in all nine of the Foxes’ Barclays Premier League fixtures so far this season and appeared to have taken a knock in the 2-0 defeat to Swansea City last weekend. But certain he will be available to face the Baggies, Pearson believes the centre-half is a player that keeps himself in good condition during a busy schedule of games. “I’m not concerned about Wes,” said Pearson. “He will be training tomorrow and we will go again. He is an experienced player and manages himself well. “He’s still been working, Wes’ idea of not training is different to others, and he’ll be fine. He’s an important player for us and it is about managing players through a hectic season. “We’ll be hitting the third group of international fixtures in a couple of weeks’ time and he’ll be involved in that again.” While Matt Upson continues his recovery from a foot injury and Zoumana Bakayogo remains side-lined with his knee problem, Ben Hamer’s initial injury assessment has turned out to be better than first thought, dislocating his finger in training rather than breaking it. “Ben’s been assessed and will be with the same situation with his dressings for another week to allow it to fully heal,” said Pearson. “It was potentially a nasty one but although it was a compound situation it was a dislocation rather than a break. It does not simplify it but it’s a better situation than it could have been. “It will be a matter of weeks but I do not see too much mileage in putting a timescale on there. Injuries are what they are. There are certain guidelines in terms of how long injuries take to clear up but every case is slightly different. Hopefully it won’t be too long. “I’ve not got any problems that will cause any concern. We may have players who have not trained on certain days this week but it’s not a problem.” Four first-teamers were involved in the Development Squad’s 6-2 win over Manchester City at King Power Stadium on Monday, with Anthony Knockaert, Danny Simpson, Nick Powell and Tom Lawrence all in action. Admitting that every senior player has the chance to make it into his squad for the weekend, Pearson continued: “We’ve spoken about the fact we still do have the vast majority of our first team squad available and unfortunately that means you leave four or five players behind for an away trip. “They are in contention but as always it’s about finding the right formula. If you couple the performance last week and the result on Monday, it may have a bigger swing in terms of the thinking behind putting together the right squad for this game. “It still remains a positive thing to have so many players available knowing that we do have options. There will always be a positive out of a result like last week and that is to remind the players that there is competition for places and that there will be opportunities for other players on the back of a performance where we felt we were under-par.” Read more at http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/301014-pearson-optimistic-about-captains-fitness-2051876.aspx#F1elxxe32gSVAcWh.99 Seems like Pearson is going to make a few changes judging by that last line?

Donut Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Moore Konchesky Mahrez James Drinkwater Knockaert King (just behind) Ulloa Use Vardy's pace off the bench potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfan92 Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Schmeichel Simpson Morgan Moore Konchesky Mahrez Cambiasso Drinkwater Knockaert Vardy (just behind) Ulloa subs - Smith, Wasyl, RDL, James, Hammond, Nugent, Albrighton Drinkwater and Cambiasso are both capable of doing a shift just in front of our box and both can turn a defensive move into an attractive one with a smart pass. Lets hit them with pace on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpicko Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Hasn't Pearson made comments like that multiple times this season and just stuck with previous teams regardless? Not implying that he'd just replace the team entirely after a loss, but I feel as though he's said a few times that he'd be considering new names and just played the previous week's team more or less regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Southampton is classed as our remembrance fixture. Ironically that'll probably end up being one to forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylad92 Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 ill be ****ing ticked if we stick with swansea formation we need to return to 442 with diamond beat united and stoke with it so stick to it my ideal starting line up is shmeichel de laet morgan moore simpson drinky cambiasso mahrez albrighton vardy ulloa cbf to stick it in formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Not sure if I agree. Drinkwater out wide in a diamonds too would it really work? Stick to a 442 what we know. From what I can gather he's suggesting a lop-sided diamond, like this: James/Cambiasso Drinkwater Schlupp King Which frankly looks incredibly stupid.

ealingfox Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Thought the implication was that Simpson would start at Swansea, didn't happen but surely there's no way he can pick De Laet again on Saturday. I'll be leaving before kick-off if he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
