Pre Match Huddersfield v Leicester

[Jeff]

Shinji is our top scorer isn't he?

No. He's scored two, Vardy has three.

 

[Robin127]

Huddersfield tend to play a high pressure pressing game, particularly at home, maybe the sort of game where Shinji would be an asset.

 

[Miles Away]

No. He's scored two, Vardy has three.

PENALTIES DONT COUNT

 

[LudlowFox]

Away goals count double. Twice nothing is nothing.

 

[bocadillo]

...those on here calling for Shakespeare's head

There's an ocean of difference between calling for his head and believing that he should never have been made permanent in the first place. Hopefully performances will improve to such a degree that decapitation will become unnecessary.

PENALTIES DONT COUNT

So Vardy doesn't hold the record for the most consecutive Premier League games scored in?

I think Dragovic may start Iheanacho certainly will and Iborra at least on the bench. Squad starting to look stronger. If we play to our capabilities we can get something here, i think a win but a draw would be ok im going 1-2 Vardy Iheanacho

Who do you drop for Dragovic? Morgan has looked pretty solid for the last 2 games and Maguire is a class act. Unless we play 5 at the back which would be idiotic against Huddersfield, I can't see him getting a game here.

If Iborra is fit he must start ahead of James. The most difficult choice is Okazaki or Iheanacho. Okazaki looks in fine form so far but Iheanacho is a natural goalscorer and could prove to be the spark we need. I'd stick with 4-4-2 swapping James for Iborra and playing Iheanacho up front with Vardy. I'd then look over at Okazaki's little face and feel so terribly guilty.

Well, apart from completely losing track of where Morata was, obviously.

You mean the offside Morata?

It's better to actually prevent those headers than hoping that they will be given offside.

 

[Miles Away]

No, it isnt.

 

[Willlow]

I also thought Simpson could do more with the Morata header. He was looking straight at Morata and then seemed to stop.

 

[LudlowFox]

Or maybe it was just one helluva cross and a cracking finish. It does happen.

 

[Lako42]

I'd play Iborra against Liverpool in the week if he's not ready this weekend.

Ian Nacho is a cut above our other players so he starts for me.

We should have the intention of winning the game, brink Okazaki on when it's sealed.

 

[dpjfox]

Idoubt Shakey has brought in Dragovic to sit on the bench, vastly experienced quality player, imo if fit he plays alongside Harry. Wes can play next week in the cup

Inler was a vastly experienced quality (ish) player, it didn't stop him creating an arse groove on the bench. Why would you want to change either of the current CBs after the last two games? If it is consistency we want to get back to, not pissing about with things when they are working is rule number one.

 

[londonfox]

I don't necessarily want consistency of selection. I want the manager to pick the players and the formation to suit the opposition.

Bar the very top teams this is a flawed way of working.

I thought Wasyl had left....
