Match Thread Leicester v Watford FAC R3

That’s far too strong a side in my opinion.

Maddison and Tielemans should be nowhere near that lineup.

Surprised to see Brunt favored over Nelson

 

[Jeff]

Two goalkeepers on the bench. Maybe Schmeichel can play in central defence.

Subs: Schmeichel, Stolarczyk, Nelson, McAteer, Madivadua, Braybrooke, Alves.

 

[Lako42]

Should smash them

 

[Miles Away]

So I’m guessing it’s a 4231

VDC
Lurch
Brunt
Albrighton

Choudhury
Tielemans

Barnes
Maddison
Lookman

Glad to see that. We aren't going to get relegated so winning this (and trying to win the cup) takes priority over the game v Everton.

 

[Brown Nose]

I make it that Watford have changed 7.

 

[Jeff]

Subs: Schmeichel, Stolarczyk, Nelson, McAteer, Madivadua, Braybrooke, Alves.

Only seven on the bench. We're allowed nine.

Boring shite from the manager.

Flogging the only fit attacking 1st teamers and not using any of the young lads.

There's also an u-23 game being played.

I mean, who gives a shit...play the tea lady.

Agreed. Playing Madison seems crazy seeing the amount of times he's came off with a niggle.

Youri too ffs.

I was hoping for an under 23 side.

One debut and he's 21. No kids except on the bench after all.

 

[popillius]

The problem is that for every 1000 fans who want to see the foetus eleven, there will be another 1000 criticising the lack of experienced first teamers. He can't really win if we're honest.

I think the mix is about right to be fair.

[City Fan]

Do we have any 15 year olds in the team?

 

[Jeff]

There's also an u-23 game being played.

And they're 5-0 down, because they're under strength.
The under 18s also played this afternoon. They won.

 

[Leigh]

One small thought, Albrighton captain and not Youri?

 

[glyn]

Agreed. Playing Madison seems crazy seeing the amount of times he's came off with a niggle.

Youri too ffs.

I for one don’t want us to bin the FA Cup in the third round as holders. I was however expecting maybe one or more two fresh faces in the first XI.

 

[Jeff]

Three goals up by half time. Then we can make five changes and give the kids a debut.
