Leicester City (A) - Sat 29th Oct, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

The Counting house very away fan friendly, next to Morrisons , 5 min walk to the ground

Nice one, thanks mate.

 

[N1985]

They're 17th in the table for fuck's sake and the only three teams they're beaten this season are in 18th, 19th and 20th place.

We'll fucking smash them, and then when they think we'll ease off a bit we'll fucking smash them some more.

Pretty much.

People thinking they're suddenly prime Barça.

4 nil City. Top of the league by half 2.

 

[The Northern Baptist]

Gonna be a tough game and don't fancy us for the three points.

We do struggle with the turnaround on the 12.30pm kick-offs, certainly away from home?

Off the top of my head, West Ham a couple times in recent years.

Need to be extra careful with the ball and can see Grealish and Phil out wide.

Won 6 out of 6 last season playing in the 12.30 slot vs Arsenal x 2, Chelsea x 2, United and Wolves. Two of those matches were the Saturday after a champs league game.

I think Borges and Mbude are both pushing to get in the squad.
Borges is like lightening off the mark which terrifies defenders and he can finish.
Some great goals in the 3-3 against Dortmund especially from Mbude and their lad Goktan Gurpuz
Dortmund v City U-19's

Like the idea of some pace in our side. Not seen much of him. Is he anything like Sane?

I've linked the video, I can't watch it for you.
Take a look at other highlights of the academy side on the City website.

Difficult one and could be a really tough game to win if we don't score early in the first half

My best 11;
Ederson
Cancelo - Akanji - Laporte - Ake
Rodri
De Bruyne - Bernardo
Foden - Alvarez - Grealish

We're not in great form and Leicester are picking up a bit of form but it's no excuse, a win is essential and should be expected. We've got the easiest 14 fixtures before the world cup, with the postponements of arsenal and spurs we've only played at Anfield and the rags at home from the top 6, that's a lot of tough fixtures to come after Christmas so we need as many points as possible because after the world cup with the fixtures list, the packed schedule and the liklihood of many of our key players being knackered if not injured, we're going to drop more points than usual.

I'm concerned where the goals come from if big Earl isn't fit, Alvarez is raw, Palmer rawer still, Grealish doesn't contribute, mahrez is out of form, it's foden and kdb were going to be looking to, that's a lot of weight on their shoulders.

Coming out fast and hard is crucial in this, early goal and push for more, kill any momentum they may have straight away then control the game. They've got a threat with pace on the counter and a set piece threat too, we don't want this in the balance for long,

Ederson
Cancelo
Akanji
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo
Kdb
Foden
Haaland(alvarez if he's not fit)
Mahrez

Piece of piss.

Thank you for the reality check.
