Leicester City (H) League Cup Rd 3 25.09.2018

[Parkins left foot]

Not unsurprising to see that team - we know that we have little cover for the Coady & Doherty roles

Really good to see Cav back out - be surprised if he lasts the full 90, but hopefully a good amount of time for him

 

[Parkins left foot]

Assuming the same team as the Sheffield Wednesday game, then Cav being available allows Coady to rest, MGW into midfield and Saiss as the sweeper

Not sure that Saiss into the back 3 is the best idea & puts 2 very young, inexperienced players into midfield as well

As Bear says if you take Coady out & try Dendoncker there then there is only Bennett to cover at RCB really. That's as broad as it is long as to any benefit it might bring

Then again Bennett on the Subs bench allows you to make the move later on so that neither have to play the whole game

Of course I'd like us to win, but to be honest I'm not that fussed. My priority is to rest as many of the first 11 as possible and if Saiss as sweeper is the way we can rest Coady then so be it. Personally I think he's the most suited to that role if something happened to Coady anyway.

 

[Tredman]

Good team, shame coady has to play.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Exciting looking team. They'd win a few Premier League matches IMO...

 

[Alan]

Well I'll be damned, Jonny on the right side.

Obviously thrilled to have Cav back on the pitch.

 

[YoungWolf]

Good team that, looking forward to this now. Nice for the four youngsters on the bench too, a couple may get some game time I reckon.

 

[Tredman]

Id like to see Benny get at least 30 minutes. Giles too.

I'm in Belfast, hoping to pick this up in Irish TV.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hehehehehehe

They fed Jonzy a load of bollocks about the team.

 

[Alan]

Who comes up with the formation graphic for these things? Is it at all possible that we'll actually see Dendoncker at CM and Saiss are right CB?

Very much doubt it.

 

[Jinky]

That looked like a pen to me. Traore up against Fuchs could be a bloodbath.

 

[Jinky]

Just seen a replay - that’s a pen for me. Left his leg in on Traore and didn’t win the ball.

Good effort from leicester just wide.

 

[Alan]

Very much doubt it.

Can we confirm now that the match has started?

 

[Jinky]

Saiss is in midfield.

 

[Tredman]

Its definitely started.

 

[YoungWolf]

They are all over us so far. MGW looking a bit lost. Just needs to settle.

 

[YoungWolf]

It's actually very similar to how we started at their place really! We can't get hold of it

 

[YoungWolf]

Struggling with Vardy's runs in behind. Starting to keep the ball better now though. Saiss and hause having decent games.

 

[Boozad]

I missed the first 20 minutes but saw Jonny have a half chance from 18 yards after some good work from Traore and Cav which he put over and Vinagre made a great run and had his shot touched over.
