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

[Blue tiger]

kovacic was the best player on the park against everton

Not saying he is a bad player, but just like the other 3 midfielders I mentioned he's not the most mobile. We are too easy to run through and that's what is killing us at the moment.

 

[PragueBlue]

I'd go with (if all are fit):

Ortega

Akanji Stones Ake Gvardiol

Foden Kovacic Grealish

Savinho Haaland Doku

Probably our best defensive options while Dias is out. A bit more energy and control in midfield and hopefully some threat from our wide players.

Trains cancelled all over the yet again, could run a piss up in a brewery jumps to mind

Foden Kovacic Grealish

This would be a fantastic team. Is that back 4 available for today?

 

[citytill1die84]

Play like we did against Everton we'll win.

Slight improvement but long way to go yet.

Come on City

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

We say our players are too old, but are terrified of a 37 year old

Yeah but he’s turbocharged on vodka red bull

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Hoping for the best, fearing the worst.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Another defeat

Do you have the right username? ;-)

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Excited for the W today.

Ortega, Lewis, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol, Kova, KDB, Bernardo, Savinho, Foden, Haaland.

The Lewis-Kovacic partnership at the base of the midfield is obviously piss poor, but no other real(istic) options, unless Stones is miraculously fit.

 

[hello]

Any recommendations on pubs? Ideally between train station & ground or is it concourse kind of place?

We say our players are too old, but are terrified of a 37 year old

To be fair he's still very quick for his age, He looks after himself incredibly well hence why he's still scoring goals in the Premier League at his age, He also has a very good record against us.

Unfortunately you don't need to be quick to get away from our defence these days, Even Joshua Zirkzee had a break away a couple of weeks ago against us which says it all.

Mavididi is also quick and another we need to look out for in this game, You know things are bad when we fear going to a depleted Leicester City.

 

[sir baconface]

Only 50% for a win. What a dent our confidence has taken.

I’m one of them though. Leicester are shit and also riven with injuries. I think I heard Vardy might be out, which would be a big blow for them. And surely to fcuk our freefall has to stop.

So I’m with the underdogs. Come on City!

 

[hilts]

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

So you should be:-)

 

[hilts]

Justify Foden's inclusion without mentioning last year.

Talent wise he's in the top 5 and can actually run which is a huge bonus at the moment

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Score draw, 2-2

 

[hilts]

Some right doom and gloom merchants on here...

First off can I be the one that welcomes you back from your voyage to Mars, how was the weather this time if year?

 

[Goodlove]

Ladbrokes have got Mubama as second favourite to score first. Do they know something about the team news?!

No.

Unless Brandon the kit man now works for Ladbrokes.
