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

[The Stockport Iniesta]

9/1 Vardy anytime and Leicester win. Will soften the blow of the inevitable.

He might be injured. Wasn't in the squad against the dippers.

 

[eyalluvitt]

There is no way that Ederson would have got the blame for that goal.

I do know what you mean by one shot one goal though

I still don’t know how he let that header at Juve in,

 

[bluwes]

He might be injured. Wasn't in the squad against the dippers.

They are saving him for the inevitable goal against us on Sunday

 

[Goro]

Holy smoke, we had 1 win in 13 games
dont fancy this one

 

[Ted_Bovis]

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...

Are sweet dreams made of this?

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Haaland on the bench, that will totally confuse Leicester.

And every City fan in the world!

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

Step away from the liquor cabinet, young man! Mummy and Daddy are not going to be happy when they hear you’ve been drinking at your age!

 

[citymad]

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

That’s a bit harsh mate I think it’s Leicester that are worse than us at the moment but if Akes out I can see Vardy grabbing the winner in this one. Come on blue boys prove me wrong!

 

[mancity dan]

Me and the Nephew are going to be at Leicester for the first time. Any recommendations for parking?

 

[eversince 76]

Hard to see us beat Leicester of anyone at the moment. We will keep conceding for starters. But hey, if we are able to field the same 11 vs Everton who, imho didn’t do that badly over 90 min, I would be happy.

And who knows Father Xmas presents us with 1 or 2 players back from illness or injury.

3-2 City. Why not.

The win vote is increasing, some people still can’t see what’s staring them in the face.

Very hard game to predict, I went to the wolves game last week and easily the worst Leicester performance I’d seen in a very long time, defence is a absolute shambles

James Justin is a shadow of the player he was when we first signed him, never looked the same since he had his bad injury, and has been at fault for so many goals playing at RB, Chuck in CBs Vestergaard and Coady you can see why we leak so many goals

Against Liverpool the other night we played very well first half, which gives me a little bit of hope playing you guys, Liverpools class told in the end though

Just hope Vardys fit for this( looks like he is) , his movement and intelligence for a guy who turns 38 next month is crazy, you always know when he plays you have a chance

Normally I would be thinking we would get battered playing your lot, but even though we’re rubbish and leak so many goals, i think you will give us chances ,especially if you play a high line, I’m going 2/2

 

[Bluewars II]

Ortega could have done better, in my opinion. The view from behind the goal showed that.

My point though, which was quite clear, was that Ederson gets slated with the “one shot one goal” comments all the time, even when it’s not his fault. Ortega seems to be escaping that.

That wasn't Evertons first shot on target though so what do you even mean??

Doku + Bernie failed to clear the ball then Akanji let's the cross get to Eliman, it was a good shot, can't blame Ortega for not saving.

 

[fulabeer]

I expect a win tomorrow. I am eternally optimistic though.
Before the slump, i didn't think we were playing that well. However, i do think we have had some better games but luck and a few stupid errors have cost us. Lacklustre seconds halfs also.
Our injuries shouldn't come into it tomorrow. Our B team should still be winning games. We have the quality experience and the manager to be doing better.
The cream always rises to the top. The bottle has been well and truly been shaken. Time to rise and have a better second half of the season. Forget everything else, champions league for next year is now the aim. Anything else is just cream with a cherry on top!

Depends how far you want to walk? I park on Grace Road but its like a 20 minute walk. Love going to Leicester, atmosphere is normally top class.

Let's hope you're not a happy fox tomorrow afternoon my friend :)

We can win this if we get over the current mental block we seem to have. It will happen ;-)

 

[Cheesy]

Leicester are truly shite yet I still have zero confidence that we'll win this.

Well we all know that we will cock up at some stage and concede a soft goal, so we need to start putting our chances away ASAP.

If Haaland isn't doing so well we could always stick Alvarez or Palmer on up front instead.

Ohh wait..

Ditto pal. Until he puts some legs into that midfield I fear it'll be Groundhog day going forward. But he'll keep with the same turgid stagnant and pedestrian formation that's serving us so well these last 2 months :(
