Leicester (a) pre-match thread

Start with a back 5 with the full backs bombing forward to provide the width. Change it at 55min mark and bring on sterling and Sane to take advantage.

Ederson
Danilo
Walker
Stones
Mangala
Delph
Fernandinho
Silva
KDB
Jesus
Aguero

Unfortunately Otamendi is suspended

Damn, I meant Mangala.

Al though Otti has been outstanding for us, am I one of the few that thinks him being suspended is a blessing in disguise. The one thing Otti lacks is pace. Now who we play in his place is the difficult decision that Pep gets paid for, Mangala has the pace but at times looks cumbersome. Though Tosin looked ok against Wolves We will play with a high line so how we stop Vardy and Osaki exploiting the space especially if Delph is left back is the key. They are expected to play kick and rush over the top. If we play our high press think we wwill win easily 4 -1. last season we had plenty of chances just didnt take them and had Kolorov as left centre back.

Walker----Stones-------Tosin--------Delph

English Defence !

 

[TonyM]

I have faith in Mangala. But only if our attack is working as well as it can. Otherwise everyone will panic including Mangala who's not as confident as others. So everything depends on KDB, Silva, Aguero, Etc.

 

[the plasterer]

Safe to say kompany nowhere near fit then??

 

[GX Blue]

Walker will play play CB if Kompany can't make it.
Danilo will then play RB.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

These are the away matches we really ought to be winning, if we’re going to lift that trophy in May. Really, when you look at who we’ve beaten so far (and the manner in which we’ve done it), a point at the very least seems to be well within our capacities.
I’m not resigned to Mangala playing, though. We have other options.

Walker will play play CB if Kompany can't make it.
Danilo will then play RB.

More likely the other way round, it was Danilo who played CB earlier in the season with Walker staying at RB.
