Pre Match Atletico Madrid vs Leicester City Champions league QF first leg

[FIF]

So what's the team then?

Kasper

Simpson
Benny
Huth
Fuchs

Mahrez
Drinkwater
Ndidi
Albrighton

Okazaki
Vardy

most likely

Would prefer Slimani in

Could be a 7-0 loss.

 

[Miles Away]

That's the team. Correctly.

 

[camberwell fox]

Could be a 7-0 loss.

Yes it could but it won't.

What team could make the amount of changes we did today and not suffer?

 

[Graz]

Yep, back to the normal team for Wednesday and a better performance to go with it.

Bring it on. Can't wait!

 

[FIF]

I think we'd better play Pontus Kamaark to man mark Antoine Griezmann. His movement could just cut us up. and our defending against set-pieces had better be better than today.

Agreed

i thought Huth was suspended (5 yellows), if im right its certainly a selection problem. We need outstanding performances from Kasper (and back 4) + mahrez and Vardy.Im just hoping were still in with a chance second leg. i cant imagine any result but a Madrid win , lets hope its only 2-1 Vardy

 

[Jeff]

i thought Huth was suspended (5 yellows)

He's only got two yellow cards in Europe.

 

[Robin127]

Isn't Vardy one yellow away from a suspension?

 

[Jeff]

Isn't Vardy one yellow away from a suspension?

Yes, he has two yellows, it's three for a suspension. But only up to the quarter finals, so players can't miss the final due to a yellow card suspension.

So it could be Musa to the rescue in the the second leg or semis then?

Benny produces one of the worst performances I've ever seen in a Leicester shirt, yet some think he should play in our biggest game for years against Atletico Madrid?

I'd put Amartey in personally. Our lack of central defensive cover is rearing its ugly head once more.

Did you see Huth?

Yeah let's play a partnership that have never played together in our toughest defensive match of the season.

Let's offer Mahrez in a swap for Keane and Brady in the summer. Or Keane straight up for Vardy.

 

[City Fan]

Yeah let's play a partnership that have never played together in our toughest defensive match of the season.

Can't be worse than a partnership that have just let in 4 of the softest goals I've ever seen.

 

[City Fan]

Did you see Huth?

I did. He was awful too but not quite to the same level.

I'm not writing Benny off because he has had a great few games, but I think he needs to come out of the team against Madrid. Maybe the complete lack of football and then the constant selection is catching up with him.

Or he just had an off day - as did several others.

Dropping him for this one would be madness. He's played well recently and shouldn't be dropped for one bad game

We don't know do we? Weren't you bigging up Benny after his previous performances. The problem with some supporters is that they are too heavily influenced by the last game.

Exactly. all of our defenders have glaring weaknesses and they need the others to cover for them. Yesterday that didn't happen.

truly excited for this one I think both teams are wary of each other, we just need the right application and a result is defo possible. would love it if we beat them over there then I could sit back and piss myself listening to all the pundits dream up excuses as to why little old Leicester have done so well.

Fingers crossed
