You're the manager for tonight.

[cityfanlee23]

I would leave out Ulloa. his contributions of late have been minimal. Wood for me. Hamer was brilliant against Stoke and deserves a run.

Hamer

De Laet Morgan Moore Schlupp

Mahrez James Cambiasso Drinkwater

Wood Vardy

City 1 Liverpool didn't

:xmasbiggrin: Happy Christmas everyone

Good shout on ulloa to be fair, wood deserves his chances too, hamer should be a certainty for me.

[Manwell Pablo]

According to MOTD we played 4-3-3 against Man Utd

 

 

Then you look at other sites and they suggest the diamond. It seems Nugent had a free role changing from Striker to CAM. So technically we did both

 

That's a dimaond aint it lets be honest. MOTD have just got it wrong. 

[Fox Ulike]

I would stop short at dropping Kasper but only just… 451. De Laet steps down but more for the balance of the side than anything he's done majorly wrong.

That's a dimaond aint it lets be honest. MOTD have just got it wrong. 

Im not saying it was defo 4-3-3. Im just pointing out that people were confused on what our formation was due to MOTD saying different to other people

[Babylon]

Pfffffft.... so difficult. There are lots of positions that could do with a tinker maybe, but I wouldn't want too many changes.

 

Cambiasso won't be able to play so soon after Saturday surely, so that means either King or Drinkwater coming in. I'll go with Drinkwater.

 

It just doesn't feel like Ulloa is working up top with Vardy as he's having to drift around more. Vardy is playing on the defenders shoulder meaning Ulla ends up dropping deep and out wide a lot. Nugent isn't having any impact. Wood isn't really up to much as the minute either. Perhaps give Powell a shot at playing behind the striker like Nugent did last year. If we are going to have the second striker dropping off and drifting out wide a ball player like him might be more useful. He's done nothing to deserve the start though so I'm even debating that.

 

I'd be tempted to perhaps leave it at that. Mirror up with how we played last year a bit more.

 

Really though I have no idea, feels like pissing in the wind with the options we have.

[Manwell Pablo]

I don't think Sky got it right at first either so yes there was confusion.

Ulloa's contribution has been ok, he still links play good. Did he not set up the first goal on Saturday?

Ulloa is miles better than Wood, who isn't good enough.

[RedSoxUK]

Dont drop schmeichel tonight, Pool wont be crossing too much i dont imagine.
 Kasper
Simpson  Morgan    Was(Lambert is slow so it wont be too much of a weakness)  Schlupp
Albrighton   Cambi(If tired bring in Drinkwater)  James     Mahrez
                Vardy/Powell      Ulloa

[Monk]

Conceded 3 crap goals at the weekend so he has to make changes in defence.

 

Actually so long as our full backs actually play in position and don't get caught in the opponent's half every 2 minutes then I'm happy.

 

Kasper will be targeted as a weak point if he plays so I think we have to drop him really, same goes for RDL.

 

Instructions to James: Don't shoot, pass.

Depends if you class miss controlling the ball as an assist.

[yorkie1999]

I'm gonna go with a Leicester Tigers formation! 

 

  Hamar                                                               

              wasilewski    

                                   morgan

                                                   Simpson                              

                                                                      konch

                                                                                     Albrighton

                                                                                                        schlupp      

                                                                                                                     Cambiasso 

                                                                                                                                         James

                                                                                                                                                      Drinkwater

[lgfualol]

I'd be trying to seduce my own daughter if I was Nigel.

[Stevosevic]

Ulloa should have had two assists against Sunderland if James and Mahrez could finish.

 

Finishing is the problem here. 

[LCFC BEAST]

Simpson in for RDL. The rest stay the same from QPR.

[Renart]

Great contribution thank-you. 

 

Personally think it's a MASSIVE game for Nigel. Show no improvement and concede a shed load and I'll be disappointed on their form, they look very weak at present.

 

Does the game become BIGGER if you put it in capitals?

[Finnegan]

Ladies and gentlemen, Leicester City will be playing four, four, ****ing two.

[Carl the Llama]

                 Kasper

 

De Laet  Was  Morgan  Konchesky

                 Cambiasso 

             James  Drinkwater

Mahrez                            Schlupp

                    Ulloa

 

Cambiasso for Vardy at HT.

[WardyisPukka]

With Pearsons job being questions by the media, as well as fans, It would be interesting to see how our fans would set up tonight, and to see how it differs from Big Nige come kick off...

 

This is one of the biggest games in pearsons career, and one that needs a dramatically improved performance on the last 8 games.

 

 

I'd go with a 4-1-2-1-2 tonight. 

 

 

                         HAMER                        

 

RDL          WES            MOORE    KONCHESKY                        

 

                         CAMBIASSO                          

 

MAHREZ                                        ALBRIGHTON                 

     

                   JAMES/KNOCKAERT     

 

           VARDY                    ULLOA                               

 

 

 

Most fans have that secret ambition that they could do a better job, How would YOU set up?

 

 

Clearly isnt his biggest game. Sunderland,Burnley,WBA games were much bigger.  

 

 

Also knocky attacking centre mid. Have you Nigel's teams recently?

[RedSoxUK]

                 Kasper

 

De Laet  Was  Morgan  Konchesky

                 Cambiasso 

             James  Drinkwater

Mahrez                            Schlupp

                    Ulloa

 

Cambiasso for Vardy at HT.

 

This is more than likely the option Nigel will take.

[Raj]

Dont care what formation you play,how you play and who plays just fooking get a result to be proud of for the inbreds of les tahhhhhhhhhhh

[Danno]

Cant wait for Pearson to drop Mahrez for Nugent and for the 90 minutes of Nugent constantly failing to miscontrol a simple ball and being about 10 minutes behind everyone else as usual.

Nuge should be out with a sore ankle I hope

[HitchinFox]

Kasper

 

RDL

Konch

Moore

Wes

 

Mahrez

Cambiasso

Drinkwater

Schlupp

 

Vardy

Ulloa

 

Reasons:

 

Due to their relatively slow midfield of Gerrard, Allen and Henderson, the key for me is the need to make sure we deal with Sterling's pace and Coutinho's creativity.

 

Wes can deal with Lambert in the air, Moore/RDL to keep Sterling in check with his pace and Cambiasso to shadow Coutinho when we don't have the ball. Drinkwater is good enough to put Gerrard off his game when they've got possession. Danny should learn to be more of a nuisance when we don't have the ball – a bit like Muzzy used to do. 

 

When we've got the ball we should have plenty to cause them trouble with Vardy's pace, Ulloa's threat in the box and Schlupp and Mahrez creating things. 

 

2-1.
