Pre Match Burnley v Leicester

[PFKAKTF FOX]

I am going to start this thread in the hope it brings a change of fortune and a much needed first away league win of the season. My starting line up would be -

Schmichael

Simpson
Huth
Morgan
Chilwell

Albrighton
Mendy
Ndidi
Gray

Mahrez

Slimani

Subs
Zeiler
Benny
Fuchs
Drinkwater
Musa
Vardy
Okazaki

 

[Billyjof]

We have to win away eventually!

Schmeichel

Simpson
Huth
Benalouane
Chilwell

Albrighton
N'Didi
Drinkwater
Mahrez

Vardy
Slimani

 

[Blaarev]

2-0 Leicester. Nugent, Wood.

It must now be a fine line between Morgan and Benalouane. Wes must be knackered, and at risk of injury, and Benalouane can't be that bad. But I suspect Morgan will play. I can't see risk CR risking a new centre back pairing for this one.

Ndidi in the middle (and hope Drinkwater doesn't sulk because the gaffer's making the decisions). I'd start Gray over Mahrez, the latter on the bench.

I reckon Slimani will still be injured, or rested, so Okazaki and Vardy upfront. Though Vardy has to put in a performance. He's a long way short of his best.

 

[yackandandah]

2-0 Leicester. Nugent, Wood.

That was a cracker from Wood. I did a little dance to that one.

 

[Lako42]

Don't normally do this but our lot need a good shock to the system.

Kasper
Simpson (no choice) Benny Huth Chillers

Albrighton Ndidi Mendy Gray

Musa Ulloa

 

[yackandandah]

Brave Lako. I like it. Risks mutiny but a statement.

 

[Durham Fox]

Time to add some pace to our central defenc. Benalouane has to start.

 

[londonfox]

Schmeichel

Simpson Benalouane Huth Chilwell

Ndidi Mendy

Albrighton Mahrez Gray

Slimani (Musa or Ulloa if he's not fit)

We can't accept another performance from Morgan, Vardy, and Drinkwater. If they are not dropped now they never will be and it will just confirm that Ranieri has no bollocks. And surely to God he can't think that going with the non-scoring duo of Vardy and Okazaki again is the way to go.

 

[FIF]

Drop Fuchs, King and Vardy.

Go with one up front and both Mahrez and Gray to attack freely.

 

[Miles Away]

Drop Fuchs, drop both midfielders, play Mahrez, Ndidi and Mendy.

 

[big_mac4824]

Burnley use the long ball brilliantly it is critical that Ndidi and DD start in the middle, Ndidi must sweep up aerial knock downs, DD must spread the ball to the flanks.

Algrighton on the right and Gray on the left bring Mahrez on later! We must play Shinji and vardy again only this time when the front two press the entire team must push up higher to prevent their defence simply playing the ball into their midfield.

Burnley are there for the taking foxes never quit !!

Mahrez

Yes, drop Drinky and Vardy. Drinkwater is diabolical at the moment. Whatever is the matter with him? He just seems to have the arse with something or someone. The sooner Gaston gets here so much the better.

 

[Brown Nose]

I think we'll probably find that the team will be very similar to Friday night. Maybe Mahrez in for Chilwell, but that's it.

The players run the show, they've said what they want and they'll be given a few games to prove that they know feck all.

You say this, again stating some made up bollocks as fact, despite the fact that Ranieri has clearly been in charge of formation tactic so far. Having a talk and listening to the players does not mean that they are in charge.

Surely if they are in charge then those calling for Ranieri's head are even more ridiculous?

Hoping for a win not confident though to be honest

Yeah I'm hoping for a win also. I'm assuming everyone else is too.
