Match Thread Leicester v Watford

[Jeff]

 

[Jeff]

Schmeichel (c), Amartey, Dragović, Maguire, Chilwell, James, Ndidi, Albrighton, Mahrez, Okazaki, Vardy.

Subs: Hamer, Fuchs, Benalouane, Gray, Silva, Iheanacho, Diabaté

 

[Blaarev]

Diabaté on the bench! Not good for Slimani and Ulloa.

 

[Blaarev]

Iborra injured?

 

[bloo]

Hmmm, that IS curious.

Edit: though I guess I might get to have a look at Diabaté, and that does interest me.

 

[Miles Away]

Iborra fell off a cliff a bit.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

If Iborra is dropped then I’m gobsmacked. Exactly the sort of opponents we would need him for today

 

[bloo]

They're without Gomes today so that could be in our favour as he always looks good against us, pulling off some cracking saves.

But Janmaat starts and he could be a handful for Chilwell. He seems to have a right old battle with Fuchs, let's put it that way!

 

[popillius]

Pretty much what I expected. I'd have played Fuchs and Silva instead of Chilwell and James but it's a strong lineup.

Watford are a big team. I'm surprised Slimani or Ulloa aren't on the bench.

Watford are a big team. I'm surprised Slimani or Ulloa aren't on the bench.

For a moment there I thought you meant Watford are a big team in the same sense that Newcastle are a "big" team

 

[Motown Fox]

Iborra fell off a cliff a bit.

He can't manage 2 games in a week, that's clear from previous, and perhaps Puel wanted impact players on the bench offensive wise.

 

[Polar Bear]

Albrighton seems to be mardy today, he'll get a card if he carries on like that. Getting frustrated by the Watford pressing, maybe.

 

[sparky79]

I fancy Nacho and Silva to have an impact today in the 2nd half.

 

[SilverFox]

I fancy Nacho and Silva to have an impact today in the 2nd half.

I fancy someone I shouldn’t.

 

[Blaarev]

Nice!!!!

 

[NYC Fox]

Vardy! Get in there!

 

[Polar Bear]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent penalty kick from Vardy. Great pass from James to put him through in the first place.

 

[Blaarev]

Vardy! Clear cut penalty. Calmly slotted in the bottom corner

 

[Kettering Pete]

Should have been VARed!!
