Leicester (a) pre-match thread

Has nolito upset pep?

Was thinking the same thing. When he has played he has impressed... except in one way, which might be why Pep doesn't quite trust him right now.

The issue with our defense is that too many that we let in are comic capers e.g. Oto running past Costa and around him whilst turning like a Sherman tank.

God help us if he gets the 5/6 sub rule implemented.

Could get away with that today, look who's fourth official.

Nando is going to have to have a great game,the others will have to drop in

Really hope we stuff these fuckers. Decent team with options as well.

Leicester are tough at home to knock over you know at best its a scrappy one goal win.

Just hope for a clean sheet for once.

Our defence are OK, we don't let more in than the top for teams, only the rag media highlight them as bad. Our attackers need to kill the game off.

It really isn't though, sides only need 1 or 2 attempts to score against us. Look at the attempts to goals conceded ratio for us against the other top 4 teams.

Could do with his movement and work rate imo. Would like sane to get a decent run in the team as well

I am going for a scrappy 9-6 win.

Very true. After the match against Chelsea nearlyall of the headlines (and stories, to be fair) were "CHELSEA BATTERS CITY". Couldn't have been a more inaccurate narrative if they had said Dickov scored our lone goal.

But I still think we could improve considerably in defense.

We may not let that many in but those that we do let are are often very preventable. It's the whole sides fault at the minute. Stupid suspensions, poor finishing and a lack of team pressing at times added to the sloppy defending and we are probably 7 points worse off than we should be on play.

Hope you haven't put money on the clean sheet
