Leicester v City Pre Match Thread.

[pudge]

Who will play alongside/just off Edin?

Silva probably

Cant see Lampard or Yaya playing wide though

 

[BigOscar]

Incredibly narrow looking team, we'll need Sagna and Clichy to offer a lot better going forwards than they usually do. A lot of players returning from injury in the starting lineup, probably too many for my liking. Looks a bit of a gamble, fitness-wise, but you'd expect that team to put Leicester away pretty early.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

Leicester: Hamer, Simpson, Wasilewski, Morgan(c), Konchesky, Cambiasso, Drinkwater, King, Mahrez, Schlupp, Vardy.
Subs: Smith, Moore, Hammond, James, Powell, Knockaert, Ulloa.

MCFC: Hart, Sagna, Kompany(c), Mangala, Clichy, Fernando, Yaya Toure, Lampard, Nasri, Silva, Dzeko.
Subs: Caballero, Demichelis, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Milner, Navas, Pozo.

Referee: Jon Moss.

Silva starts wow.

 

[kippaxblue76]

Silva/Nasri wide with Lampard behind Dzeko I would think.

.@pablo_zabaleta is rested today. No injury concern for the Argentine after his midweek goalscoring heroics in Rome. #foxesvcity

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Edin playing up front on his own and no winger on either side to cross it in for him as Navas and Milner both on the bench...seems a bit odd that to me

 

[J_Bow]

Jovetic injured again ffs, Edin needs to get up to speed and quick.

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

Hope Zaba's not having family problems.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Im always going to struggle with this rotation bollocks.
The team looks plenty good enough on paper but its one that hasn't played much together and one in which we have two key players returning from injury.

I'm never as confident without Dinho and/or Milner.The only real 'grafter in that side is Fernando and there is a worrying lack of pace.

Good to David Silva back in the starting eleven, but apart from that I dunno not so impressed with our line up today, anyway come on City..

 

[J_Bow]

Full backs will be key here, Nasri & Silva will be so narrow. This could cause us problems defensively too if the wide men don't track back.

I hope Edin gets a goal or two today, need his confidence up asap.

 

[raymondkl92]

either Navas or Milner should have started otherwise good team. See the goals coming from midfield.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Who will play alongside/just off Edin?

Silva probably

He won't. He will be wide, Nasri other side. Lampard will play in the advanced midfield role.

I'm happy enough with that,

 

[Rammyblues]

I can't see a problem with that side City to win by at least 2 clear goals scorers from Lampard, Yaya and or Dzeko.

 

[simon23]

no jovetic at all????????

 

[mancity1]

Does anybody know what the story is with Jovetic today?

 

[Shirley]

You have to consider the opposition, that line up looks tasty, very very tasty!

 

[kippaxblue76]

Silva , Nasri Yaya and Lampard the 4 behind Dzeko can keep the ball all day long and create chances.
