Leicester v City (League Cup) Pre match Discussion thread

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

will jovetic be fit for this game?

Once again missing. Is he ever going to play

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

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're turning into the new marv you kidda

I expect better from a Durham scholar

We'll twat pullis into a new joe bloggs tracky after he shits in the current one

1-5 tonight!!!

Like that team selection... go for it in first half then we can make subs if there is room for it... I like that we dont rush Jovetic after the lengthy lay off... also hoping for a more youthful bench...

Kompany and SIlva still need match fitness and this should be a good game for them... Love seeing rodwell back aswell!

 

[blink922]

7th sub surely has to be Jovetic...

 

[Bedlin]

I guess Jojo needs time to get back to the team. the only surprise for me is not including Guidetti even into SUBS. little bit dissapointed!

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.

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 ?

Zabaleta is going to end up playing too many games unless Micah gets fit, Silva needs wrapping in cotton wool as does Vinnie because neither our fitness coaches or physios seem to be able to work out how to stop them getting muscle injuries, it worries me because I can no longer watch a game trusting them to make it through, unlike 2 years ago with apparently different fitness staff who kept them fit.

Leicester: Schmeichel, Wasilewski, Morgan(c), Miquel, Konchesky, Drinkwater, King, Dyer, Knockaert, Taylor-Fletcher, Nugent.
Subs: Logan, De Laet, Hammond, James, Moore, Schlupp, Vardy.

City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany(c), Lescott, Kolarov, Garcia, Milner, Rodwell, Navas, Silva, Dzeko.
Subs: Pantilimon, Boyata, Demichelis, Fernandinho, Nasri, Negredo +1.

Referee: Roger East.

Only 6 named, Jovetic having a fitness test maybe?

He has been out for weeks though, surely we would know an hour before kick off if he is fit or not?

 

[MillionDollarDream]

No youth, guess we have to wait for FA Cup game against Blackburn for that.

Would be a dream.
