Leicester (A) build up thread

Don't understand why the Everton match is being discussed in this thread when it has its own verdict thread, however....

I have a HD recording of the game and have watched Everton's first goal in slo-mo and would like to offer these observations.

On the 1st goal, Keane (no.4 ) runs from the edge of the box and jumps at Willy Boly as the ball arrives making him head the ball down instead of away. The ball then falls down in between Boly and Keane and hits Keane (on the arm I think, but its not clear) and drops right in front of Richarlison who was unmarked so scored.
From behind you could see that Bennett was to the right of Boly and hardly jumped at all, and Richarlison was to the left of Boly, next was Jonny with another Everton player and then a further Everton player who was unmarked, outside him.
We lined up exactly the same for another set-piece in a similar position about 5 minutes later but this time Neves blocked the run of Keane and Boly cleared.

Doherty's challenge was stupid and naive for a player of his experience and IMO typified his performance throughout the whole game.

He wasn't the only one that made mistakes but all the others improved as the game went on while he didn't. Everyone can have a bad game so let's hope he gets it together for the Leicester game as unfortunately we don't have an obvious replacement.
 
We are always a better team when Cav is in it, I'd start him if he's 100% but if not, I expect Costa will improve on Saturday's performance
 
DOn't think we will see Cav for a few weeks due to his back issue, they will want him completely rested before he starts training at full intensity. Traore will be on the bench if he has trained this week after his shoulder injury
 
We need a bit more intensity in our play than we had against Everton, but I'm sure the more we play together the more we will gel.
 
I think Moutinho might be a bit too similar to Neves for it to work every game (be nice if he was left footed, could copy Neves from the right!) hence I put the new guy at CM in mine. A bit more drive perhaps? Saiss tries it but he isn't quite good enough attacking to make it count that often. Moutinho is pure class but again unless we went 352 I'm wondering who comes in for Moutinho and when. City game maybe (Saiss, not sure Nuno sees Dendoncker in midfield, I just think he looks amazing tbh...)
 
Small Shirt Adama training properly today with light strapping on his shoulder. I reckon he'll be on the bench.
 
Leicester looked really good against Utd, I’d take a point all day long it’ll be another tough game for sure.

Yes. If Leicester sustain the level of performance that they did against Utd they will be top six come the end of the season. I'd take a point all day long, particularly with us being away.

Going to put money on it?
 
You got mugged, they're at 10s with Bet365 and even longer than that with a couple of others.

Not that they'll finish in the top six anyway.

I know, Betfair is the only online site I'm registered on, their prices aren't great. I'm too lazy to join another. I think Leicester are a better side than Arsenal and Everton and their prices are shorter.
 
Not sure how I can square Leicester being top 6 with their manager being favourite in the sack race...
 
Leicester are on of only 6 teams in the current EPL that we have an historic positive record W42 D32 L36

Others are Burnley, Palace, Cardiff, Fulham and Newcastle. Watford are evens W13 D18 L13

I know its BS but I'm feeling nerdy and it is either this or gardenning. :icon_smile:

There's £11 at 10s on Betfair.
