Big boy game this.

 

[Jenks]

As expected?

Yep, massive game.

 

[camberwell fox]

As expected?

Yes, think so, just replacing Perez for Vardy makes sense to me.

 

[Brown Nose]

We have an utterly ridiculous fixture list over the next month - ten matches to play including EL, FA Cup and PL matches against Everton, Villa, Liverpool and Arsenal.

We'll know a lot more about our squad by the end of Feb. Personally, I don't really get BR sticking with the same side for PL matches as it isn't sustainable and it cost us last season. I think a couple of unenforced changes each time is necessary.

 

[Graz]

No surprises there.

Would be big to get another win here against another challenger for the top 4.

A chance to go 9 points ahead of them. Everton were being talked about for the title in what, November?

Obvious worries tonight are goal threat without Vardy, and defending set pieces.

Agreed.

With a slightly bigger back four, Wilf and Perez hopefully we've got 6 good headers of a ball to defend corners. Goal threat wise, if we move the ball quick then we should threaten anyway. Maddison needs to stay basically up top and let Tielemans deal with structuring the play.

Hopeful for this.

I think someone (BN?) mentioned we'd scored in the last 7(?) without Vardy. Massive game for Madders tonight - four in 4 games??

All season, our best defender at set pieces has been Vardy.

Jeff said "James Maddison can become the first Leicester player other than Jamie Vardy to score in four successive top-flight matches since Steve Moran from December 1986 to January 1987."

He's going to WANT this.

I loved Steve Moran.

I'm converting the pies I've just won on Burnleh turning it around and have bets on 3 of our back 4 to score. Put your well earned on Evans.

I'm on our two full backs so Evans is probably your best bet.

All 3 to score from corners is my thinking. I'll back Evans n all now.

Never heard of him. Just googled him and according to Wiki he’s a lorry driver based in Yorkshire now.

He wasn't the tallest. I'm slightly surprised that he can see over the steering wheel.
