Leicester (h) pre-match thread

[PragueBlue]

Don’t disagree but he needed to do the business last week when he had the chance and he just didn’t. Like it or not (and fwiw I don’t like it) he’s probably on borrowed time now at the club.

I think it's different playing a packed defence like Burnley and a more progressive team like Leicester.

Personally I think Guardiola prefers Sterling on the left which takes Sane's regular position. It is then a choice of Bernardo or Mahrez on the right and there is only one winner there at present. Surprised Sane hasn't had a go on the right though (maybe he has but can't remember it). I think he could be quite effective in that role, cutting in and shooting.

Foden is a surprise.
Pep obviously trusts him.

C’mon Phil. Get the winner.

Leroy will be on later when they start to tire. He could be a huge asset if we are ahead and want to kill off the game.

He was perfect for Leicester attacking us and leaving space in behind apparently.

Funny how things can be twisted to take different shapes.

A little surprised we chose the attacking variant with Gundogan but Fernandinho’s fitness must have dictated it. Hopefully we keep the ball and don’t let Vardy do his bullshit counter thing

Edit:delighted for Foden. I think he’s more than ready for this. Without KDB I’m more than happy to see him in there

I wouldn’t have started either Vinnie or Phil.

I’d have had Leroy and John instead.

But then, I’m not Pep.

I kind of agree with you there. Vardy will beat Kompany for pace. Phil seems a bit of a risk for such a big game.

Not even going to watch the pre-match bullshit and media spin against us. I’ve had enough of Sky and will be cancelling after this season. I’ll tune in 1 min before kick off.

FFS can’t believe Mahrez and Delph ain’t playin

Don’t recall ever being this nervous. Not sure how some appear to be so calm on here.

What will be will be. We'll be up there every season with Pep.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Think we will score goals but don’t particularly fancy us to keep a clean sheet.

I would be fine with a 8-7 victory, personally...

As long as we are 8-0 up by halftime.
