Leicester City (A) - Sun 29th Dec, 14:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 14:30 (GMT).

Last game before the transfer window opens.

Don't even know what to expect but I know it'll be a hard game.

Jamie Vardy field day running in behind

These threads are turning into some perverse version of "Groundhog Day"
We're all waking up thinking things MUST change today - then we throw open the curtains to find the same players and same system doing the same things lol.
Win - 97th minute off Haalands arse from a shot that was going out for a goal kick ;)

 

[Goater=Legend]

No defenders up against Vardy.

What could go wrong.

 

[fulabeer]

We need Lewis at right/left back. Haaland and Foden up front.
Gundogan for Rodri. Totally ignore any youth players.
No subs for at least the first 75 mins. Later if we need a goal.
If we can then get the ball out to one of the wingers, we can then pass back to the middle. Then totally ignore any runners. Rinse and repeat.
Pep seems to think this works, so who am i to disagree...

 

[Gray]

Haaland on the bench, that will totally confuse Leicester.

Also he does fuck all apart from scoring and he isn’t doing that at present, 2 missed penalties is inexcusable.

 

[Bluewars II]

Thought we looked OK against Everton. Rico played as a conventional right back and Bernie played deeper, we looked more compact.

Hearing rumors Ake is injured again otherwise I would play the same team but switch out Foden for Kdb and Grealish for Doku.

Lewis is incapable of marking his man. Sadly, Walker ain't much better any more. Fortunately, they are shit, but, so are we for the most part, but Vardy is more likely to score than Haaland. A point will do me again until reinforcements arrive.

And what if no signings are made which will be the most likely outcome

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Any chance of any of the sick notes being available for this?

 

[super_city_si]

Surely….

Ortega
akanji Tah Ake gvardiol
Reinjders kovacic musiala
Messi haaland foden

Edit: Damn. A week early. Save this for west ham game.

Did you not see kdb when he came on?

 

[TinFoilHat]

We might carry on the Christmas gift giving Van Horse face a win.

Think Simpson Pusey will start purely because everyone else who plays in CD is fucked.

 

[sh249]

If Ake is out (which he no doubt will be), we have the horror of a Walker-Akanji-Gvardiol-Lewis back four to look forward to.

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Did you not see kdb when he came on?

KDB didn’t seem to see many City players when he tried to pass the ball.

 

[Goater101]

Comfortably one of the worst teams in the league.

No excuses anymore. It’s time for them to show something. Either shit or get off the pot

Don't worry, your missus told us you are usually premature.
