Pre Match Leicester City v Stoke City

[Volpone]

a nice exchange between Claude Puel and BBC Radio Leicester's Ian Stringer.

Stringer: "How do you stop Xherdan Shaqiri?"

Puel: "How do they stop Riyad Mahrez?"

Touche, Claude.

So he couldn't answer the question then ?

Let's hope a couple of the players know

just tell who ever is playing left back to say to Shaqiri "Bit cold today ain't it" and he'll be shit for the next month

Realistically Stoke are going to look at our recent record ( even forgetting Man City) against Sheff Utd, Swansea and Everton and think - "we've nothing to fear." We need to stop dicking around, start strong and put the game to bed before half time, ideally with a Vardy Hat trick

 

[Speedy1]

This time he won't. Out injured.

RIP Peter Crouch. Cruel way to go.

Well, it's going to be a bad day, Lawro has it as a 2-0 home win.

Too right

They have the worst away record in a season full of piss poor away records

Anything less than a home win by three or four goals would indeed be a bad day

Their away record:
Played 13
Won 1
Drawn 3
Lost 9
Goals for 11
Goals Against 32

Nailed on away win.

Two wins in ten in the league is not good enough. It's a record that must improve quickly if this season is to be regarded as a good one. Our style and tactical approach is in flux but it is too often confused and ineffective.

In my book, we're favourites to win our next nine league games. We should expect much better defending from the team than we've been seeing. Also, we've only had Vardy and Mahrez (once) score for us in the league since New Years Day. It's about time some of the rest of the squad woke up in that regard.

Lots to improve and lots to prove. Stoke should be no match for us but we'll see.

1-3

These will batter us from set pieces.

These will batter us from set pieces.

That is definitely my concern.

 

[camberwell fox]

That is definitely my concern.

No Crouch though.

No Crouch though.

I think Shaqiri could score a header from a set piece against our defence, at times.
