Leicester City (H) Pre Match Thread

[OhSoGroovy]

our recent results without him says different,we lack control without him

Indeed, we need him back ASAP

 

[kaz7]

The reason we lost at the Dippers is. We always lose, every year. And Silvas played in umpteen we've lost there. Burnley was bad finishing. It looks good the stat when he plays we win. But we've also won without him. We've so much firepower to still do a number on Leicester.

it's not about fire power with dave it's about control of the game,we needed him for the dippers game and we would not have fallen apart and had that mad 10 mins with him playing,we have missed him in recent games that is clear,i don't know what there is to dispute about that,bernie might do it but pep won't play him in the dave role,kev is not a ball controller he isall about high risk passes fowards,no-one does what dave does

I watched the training video today and great to see the skill of a Foden and truly looks like he believes he belongs. Looked very sharp in training hopefully on the bench on a Saturday. Damn shame if David is out but the players look relaxed and enjoyed their few days off.

So if Pep says David needs to be with his family or is injured for the rest of the season, is that it?... If Kev, Fern, Ederson, Walker, Sergio etc got injured, it would be the same response on here. How will we cope. We should have a good rested team on Saturday, no excuses. 5-0.

Don't get ridiculous now,we play better with dave,i am sure most of us would say that,the rest is hypothetical

I agree were much better with Dave but even with all the injuries we have, with the quality of players that are availabe we should be beating a Leicester team without Mahrez at home.

Also, the stat is padded by Carabou Cup games where we only won on Pens, but many more other than Silva were rested.

Silva will be back won't he?

 

[bumbleblue]

Silva will be back won't he?

Christ I hope so, I know some won’t have it but we are not the same team without him. I know bluewhit who is friends with him said he had been given an extra day off so due back tomorrow.

We are fine with him and fine when he is not playing.

I am comfortable going into the final 12 games if Dave needs more time at home so to speak which I am sure he will.

Losing Mendy for the season has been the biggest blow IMO.

If Sane and Jesus can come back mid march then that will be a big boost as will the return of Delph.

We need them all but we can cope without a few players for an extended period , all sides that win titles in the main have to do so.
