Leicester City (H) Pre Match Thread

Would go with three at the back and play another forward player ,Leicester aren'nt going to get out of their half that often , the only option they have is long ball , without Mahrez they do not have the same forward threat : EDERSON -- STONES , VINNY , LAPORTE -- WALKER , DINHO , KDB , GUNDAGON , BERNARDO -- STERLING , AGUERO , presumably Sane ,Merlin are still unavailable. With Pep's attention to detail and preparation if we do got to three at the back , Pep will have them well drilled and dont see the risk , we have some of the best players in europe , quite sure they have the intelligence to understand a change in formation , it would be a risk against Bayern, Real or Barca but not against an average , although recently improved Leicester team. Backed us to win 3-1 or 4-1 , just need the Geordies to shut up shop against the Rags that game would be like watching a episode of On The Buses. Butler versus Blakey

1.26-1.45 left of Walker, passes the ball at 2.45

Ah cheers

Laporte just gave you a side eye :)

Not sure how quick Laporte is to be fair , he is considered a good defender and good in the air with excellent distribution , if he has got pace to burn as well then Ederson can have a day off :)

Any news on wether Dave is training today?

Apparently so.

Things looking up. If we can get sane and Silva back fit in the next couple of weeks the squad will be looking strong again.

Silva is fit?

Silva is fit?

he was given an extra day off but is expected back for the game,is he fit? nobody knows yet

Delph seems to be back in full training? Nothing offical from the club but look at the latest training video

I notice Aguero got bumped by the mannequin as he was running onto the field. Blatant foul - the refs have got to get a f*cking grip on that sort of thing.

Mahrez not playing confirmed by leiscter manager just now

So, something good came out of our last minute attempts to sign him...

Going to be a difficult game with the Marez effect..How long before Mendy returns
He is the key to a top class balanced side.

Why experiment with 3 atb? We have a proven formula and I dont see it being messed with tomorrow.
