Leicester (h) pre-match thread

[80s Shorts]

Seems to be talk that Mahrez may play ahead of Leroy because he’s a ‘safer’ option re ball retention.

I hope that’s not the case. We need to play positively and, imo, go for it.

Talk from where ?

Be amazed if he's anywhere near the starting lineup

This is true but obviously being so tense though people do worry. Rodgers teams tend to cause us problems, even a poor Celtic side did in the champions league home and away a couple of seasons back.

Kolarov and co like this post.

Totally different animal these days mate.

Neither will start, he'll go with Ferna, Gundog and Silva in midfield, Bernardo, Raz and Serg up front.

That's what's worrying me about tonight. I can't help thinking there is a cheeky little sending off for one of our players in the offing. Lots of early yellow cards. Leicester allow to cripple our players with impunity. It's not as if the officials haven't been blatant in their partiality recently.

Leicester won’t get the ball.

We will be that hot tonight, the referee will be able to do fuck all to hurt us.

These are fucking getting it.

Lol. Every game has been our hardest out of the last 12 games if you read this forum and the press.

I know...... [hangs head]!

Is Fern fit?

Though he was in a leg brace.

Any way you look at this game then we are much the better side and should win but as we all know, upsets can happen & do every weekend.
I've thought for some time that we'd win every game to become Champions but this game is giving me the shits.
By tonight i'll be a bundle of nerves and not good company at all, like pretty much every other supporter of Manchester City.
The typical City tag is long gone but for older fans like me, it still feels very real ffs.
City 3 Leicester 1

I’m almost certain he’ll get booked!

First five minutes no doubt.

"Kompany + Vardy + Dean" might be tempting fate?

Although I see that Leicester themselves are prone to a red card - they've had 5 this season, which is also the average number of cards Dean hands out each game.
