Match Thread Leicester-WBA (Hong Kong tournament)

[SwedeFox]

Pre-season tournaments really show how much penalty shoot-outs normally are about psychology

(sorry that's not an ABBA song)

**** me, Drinkwater!

 

[SwedeFox]

The ABBA system seems much superior to the alternative IMO. I think we will see a change soon

When is the final?

It's 13.30 on Saturday. Nice!

Can't see properly from the tv pictures, but I think we're playing a back three with Albrighton and Fuchs as wing backs.

It's live of SF1 - French channel perfect image.

Yes!

Any other questions you'd like to ask and answer?

The most encouraging thing thus far is the performance of Elliot Moore who has looked very calm, collected and controlled. I've been very impressed with the few minutes we've seen of him so far.

Agreed he looked decent.

Mahrez, James, Drinkwater looked very good too - but it may just be the opposition.

Who are we playing in the final?

**** knows.

No, that was the full depth of my knowledge

Fuchs playing a bit like his earlier displays last season at times

He's still got quality but he doesn't seem to have the 100% application. He looks for the easy way out which is usually lazy and can leave us in the shit. Going forward he looks good but goes for the spectacular rather than the sensible option. Liked seeing Drinkwater ball him out for that shot from the edge of the box when he should have been sliding it in for Vardy.

Good to see the team all going to Jeff and saying hello.

There was a perfect image on my sky feed too. But that doesn't help you see the shape of the team.

Yes, that's always the problem with such friendlies; the time and space awarded to players isn't as it would be in the league so they're not fully representative. I remember Musa looked pretty good last pre-season. That should teach us a valuable lesson!

Guess it depends on how you watch.

If people aren't aware of how pre-season works by now then I doubt they are capable of learning any lessons.

I can only see the bits they choose to show.

And then you piece them together. It's a bit like life - you don't see all of it.
