Leicester v City (League Cup) Pre match Discussion thread

[gmckennasell]

hart - zabs , garcia , lescott , kolarov - milner , jovetic , rodwell , lopes - dezko , guidetti , dont think MP will risk any 1st teamers with busy xmas fixtures , league cup not high on our prorities , but the only reason i would want to go through , is the possibility of meeting the rags in the semi's or the final ,because we would murder them.

Looking forward to Tues...good club Leicester with a long history...one of my first aways was to
Filbert st mid 70s think we lost 1-0


Foxy ...whats the best place for parking off the Welford road

Parking is very awkward for the King Power. There are plenty of side roads off Welford Road but seeing as it will be a sell out, spaces will fill up very quickly. If you are heading down earlier enough for a drink pre match too then I shouldn't imagine you'd have too many issues but still a fair walk to the ground.

Remember Bruce Dyer from when we played LCFC in the FA Cup replay at City

He was seriously quick.

They also had Sol Bamba in defence who their fans loved. I don't know if he is still there.

Yeah Lloyd Dyer scored the second at the Etihad in the replay.

Sol Bamba left a while back for a Turkish side. Became some sort of a cult hero considering his debut was against you and he scored after about 50 seconds lol In terms of being able to defend... he wasn't the greatest!

Sol Sol Bamba!

Do you think LCFC will give this everything? The game is sandwiched between 2 big games for you. QPR on Saturday. I'm wondering if you will rest players. Man City will I am sure

I think there'll be a great atmosphere, and that I hope will bring the best out of us

My team would be

-----------------------Hart
Zab------Boyaya-------Lescott------Kolarov
-------------------Garcia-Milner
-------------------Navas-Rodwell
-------------------Jovetic-Dzeko

Just read on the Leicester website they have Sam Bailey performing at the stadium on Tuesday night. Apparently she's a big Leicester fan lol

This game has come at a bad time. Is it 2 legs? If it is, i say field a full reserve team for this game, save legs for the important christmas fixtures.
If not full reserves, rest at a minimum, zabba, fernandinho, nasri, yaya, kompany, negredo.
Jovetic and dzeko a must along with Rodwell.

There are only 2 legs in the semi final of this competition. This is a quarter final and will be decided by extra time and penalties if it's a draw on 90 / 120 mins.

Hope to see Rodwell, Jovetic and Lopes start with Milner in a central midfield role.

Wonder if Guidetti will get on the bench, be good if we got to see him play.

Important to keep the current good run going and progress to the Semi-Final.

Lopes and Guidetti played for the EDS today so probably not

You can park on welford rd at the Tigers ground (past a couple of speed cameras and there's an entrance literally just before the first stand)

Costs about 6 quid for enough hours for you to cover the match assuming it doesn't go to ET!

I'd try the counting house anyway, certainly so if you're not in colours.

good idea, I was thinking about boyata at rb too, but we already play a winger at lb sometimes so..... :)
