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

I think it was tiredness mate

The only thing he should be 'tired' off is spending so much time on the treatment table!

Ortega
Walker (Sorry)
Akanji
Ake
Gvardiol
Kovacic
De Bruyne
Grealish
Savinho
Foden
Haaland

Justify Foden's inclusion without mentioning last year.

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.

Yep, we've parked near the cricket ground too, really good for getting back to.M1

 

[dadnlad]

We have to win tomorrow and if we don't, oh dear. I hope Ake can start as he helps Akanji be less worse than he is. Trying to get positive about this match but it's not easy. A win and 3 points then WHU at home next league game plus January signings could see us turn things around.

west ham not lost on 4 games i think they said lol

 

[Eaststander1]

Good point, forgot about that...a win tomorrow though and we can get our mojo back hopefully

Yep, a win for City at Leicester tomorrow can only breed a bit of confidence into the players and manager that's for sure, they could definitely do with a lift ....

Justify anyone’s inclusion more like. Foden will be a part of the next city team that wins the league. 80% of the squad won’t be

Yep, they're playing well .... and that Jarrod Bowen's always a real handful.

Looked slightly better against Everton and the hope that a run of games kicks him into gear? Unlike Kev, Gundo, Walker and them age profiles, Phil is still young enough to fight off tiredness at the moment

Ortega
Akanji Gvardiol Walker
Lewis Kovacic
Foden KDB Bernardo
Savinho Haaland
3-1 City

I’m the same. Ortega - one shot one goal yesterday. Ederson would have been crucified for that.

Sorry but that was a brilliant goal. That’s ridiculous.

Justify Foden's inclusion without mentioning last year.

Recovering from burnout of the last 4 years and showing slight glimpses of his old self.
Look at Saka. Aged 21 and is having his hamstring operated on.

Foden will be back, he's had the above plus niggling injuries plus he's been ill and on top of that we're decimated by injuries and lost our form.

Hope that justifies his inclusion.

Foden sounds like he’s been dealing with illness a lot. I very much doubt he’s played any game 100% fit for a while.

 

[colorado blue]

We’re going to win this one and put in a good performance. Just got that feeling. Haaland hattrick and Savi will open his account.

Both of Ortega and Ederson in goal wouldn’t have saved that

I agree. Well worth need some magic from somewhere to start turning this run around and Phil is one of those who can do that

Was a class finish to be fair to the lad.

 

[Goro]

any news if vardy will be injured?
might have a chance if hes not playing

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Justify Foden's inclusion without mentioning last year.

Granted he’s been far from perfect but he walks away with 2 very good assists yesterday if Bernardo and Haaland had their shooting boots on.

Late fitness test
