Leicester v City (League Cup) Pre match Discussion thread

Rubbish.

It's a quarter final FFS. Have you become that spoilt.

Strong line up at the start is always the way to go. Rest and subs when in a comfortable position.

Hopefully.

spoilt no, but if our B team can beat Bayern they can beat Leicester, and having lost Kun for a month on saturday we really can't afford to overwork Silva, Vinnie and Zaba.

Palace is the game to rest players

This will be a difficult match considering our away form

It isn't, they'll do their usual Pulis of 10 behind the ball, they're up for it with a new manager and we need to be at our very best to break them down.

You don't know the fitness status of the others, Kompany and Silva need game time to get match fitness

Silva hasn't played a full game since his return so he certainly needs it.<br /><br />-- Tue Dec 17, 2013 8:01 pm --<br /><br />

I wouldn't rest anyone in a PL game, certainly not away.

very risky business, lots of games coming up, really didn't expect that...worried about fitness now.

Would this be the "B Team" that included Hart, Zabaleta (from 1/4 hour mark), Kolarov, Lescott, Navas, Garcia, Dzeko, Silva and Milner.

and of course Fernan who is rested tonight.

Not much difference to your "B" team and tonights team is there ?

Shit, just saw Knochesky is playing fro Leicester, expect a few rash challenges on navas :(
