Leicester (A) build up thread

[Jinky]

This was the Leicester line up for their opening fixture against Man Utd.

Schmeichel

Amartey
Morgan
Maguire
Chilwell

Adrien Silva
Ndidi

Ricardo Pereira
Maddison
Gray

Iheanacho

Substitutes
Evans, Vardy, Albrighton, Ward, Iborra, Fuchs, Ghezzal

They will almost certainly make a couple of changes. I suspect Vardy will come in for Iheanacho, Evans will come in for Morgan & they may even drop Pereira in to the back line (replacing Amartey who is shite) meaning Albrighton will come in on the right of midfield.

They'll be looking at this as a must win, already - first home game of the season, newly promoted opposition who (from the outside looking in, didn't look fantastic in their opener), plus they lost their opening fixture so will want to get off & running ASAP. Make no mistake, this will be a tough game.

Raul is going to have his work cut out coming up against Evans & Maguire. We will be relying on Jota & Costa having much better games than they did at the weekend, as Chilwell & Pereira are very good going forward but can be 'got at' going the other way. Vardy running at Coady is a slight concern, and Maddison is excellent at playing the little balls in behind and in to the channels - so we need to be aware of this too.

If you offered me a point now, I would snap your hand off.

A’thankyou.

Come on me babbies. This could be a decent game. Hoping for a win, would take a point right now.

What's wrong with that? It's class.

 

[Tredman]

Fucking hell doc, skinned by grey already.

 

[Tredman]

What's wrong with that? It's class.

Hardly a clash with the blue Leicester kit is there?

 

[Tredman]

Hit the bar!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Moutinho hits the woodwork. Sounds like we are playing well.

 

[Tredman]

Fuck off the line too. So much space behind the Leicester defence.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Doherty misses a simple chance. Fuckstix.

 

[jdrodrigues]

C'mon! Keep it up!

 

[Tredman]

Doherty misses a simple chance. Fuckstix.

Nah, was a very good stop. Doc did everything right.

 

[t3ch]

can't complain with this start.

 

[Tredman]

Love Raul already.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Now a chance for Leicester but an excellent tackle by Bennett. Decent game just like I hoped.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Nah, was a very good stop. Doc did everything right.

Weak foot, a bit behind him, great clearance. Unlucky Doc

 

[Tredman]

Costa and doc on the right scares the bejeezus out of me defensively.

 

[t3ch]

we are really bullying them around. great possession, winning ball back in almost every instance. very happy with the first 1/3 of this half. hope it continues. just need a bit more finesse/link-ups in our attacks.

 

[Jinky]

Playing well. Neves with a lovely ball over the top to Jota who absolutely mugs off Evans. We’re holding a very good shape when they have the ball which means they’re struggling to get Maddison on the ball.
