Pre Match Manchester City vs Leicester City

[FIF]

Our last away match of the season. A chance to do the double over a big team. A chance to move into 8th position in the Prem.

Pretty sure it'll be the same team as saturday:

Kasper

Simmo
Benni
Hoof
****s

Messi
Drinki
Ndidi
Allfullon

Slippi
Vardi

Would prefer to see Slimani replace Okazaki and Amartey replace Drinks but that's not going to happen.

Very happy for Mahrez to keep his place after seeing his form return against Watford and I expect him and Vardy to be on fire against Mancity.

If we score first we win 2-4 again.

1-0 Leicester. Robins

The last time that Mahrez had a good game before Watford?

A lot was said about his majestic assist but Slimani's pass for the first was terrific and his control and play for the second too.

 

[yackandandah]

Mahrez's layoff for our 3rd was just perfection. Barcalona would sign him on that basis alone. Slimani had one of his better games for us that day too though 'the lad will be disappointed with himself' on a couple of his efforts.

I can't see us doing the double. Pepe will have more nouse than to make the same mistake again.... or maybe not. Nah, I'll be more than happy with a point.

 

[FIF]

They need to go for it. Especially if Pool and manure can win today. We can pick them off.

 

[Skitzo]

If we won't play Slim from the start can we play Gray?

Also please put Barnes or Kap on the bench instead of Musa ffs

 

[Jeff]

Also please put Barnes or Kap on the bench

Can Barnes play?

The rules say that a loan is from one transfer window to the next. The next transfer window isn't open, so presumably he can't play for us.

 

[Skitzo]

I was told he could, being a youth player he doesn't need to be registered on the prem list

Youth players can play without being part of the 25 man squad. But not if they're still officially on loan to another club.

1-0 Leicester. Robins

Feel the power of the rain!

Will be interesting to see if Benni drops out if Wes fit. An important game for them, if our players turn up in fipflops it could be an uncomfortable watch. Im fearing the worse but hoping for a 2-2 draw Vardy Mahrez pen Id like to see Slimani Gray and Armartey given more playing time

 

[Miles Away]

They'll be sick of struggling against us. We've assured safety. Could be trouble.

For them.

 

[FIF]

Big stage for Mahrez to impress Liverpool and Kasper to impress Manure.

We'll either be on the beach, or will play with complete attacking freedom now the season is over

Be interesting to see which approach Shakespeare will be able to inspire

 

[SJN-Fox]

Hopefully they will all want to finish as high as possible.

I'm sure I heard on the radio somewhere that if Arsenal win the FA Cup and Man Utd win the Europa League, (or some such combination) 8th place could qualify for Europe next season. Not sure if this was right though. I'm sure someone will come and correct me.

Forget that as only 7 can qualify from England for European competitions.

I imagine both sides will have players falling in both categories you have suggested. I can see this being an open game, hopefully we are a bit more switched on at the back than Crystal Palace were.

I watched the Man City vs CP match - Palace were ripped apart in the second half - I'm hoping that our lot have seen a replay. Hopefully we are more prepared and more resilient at the back than CP , without playing for a draw (as we seemed to do against Arsenal before coming up short).

 

[Skitzo]

Given he seems to have been in New York all well surely Fuchs isn't playing on Saturday?

 

[Blaarev]

Morgan still injured, and Drinkwater out for the rest of the season with the thigh strain. Huth is doubtful for Saturday.
