We should win this. Anything less than a win would be bad points dropped. It's time for both Inler and Kante to play because simply, they are better players than King and Drinkwater. These two in midfield and otherwise the same 4-4-2 and personnel as in the first three games. Dyer on the bench for Dodoo,

Yes and using the paper's own statistics ( nd bearing in mind that Tackles and Passes Completed don't actually get you any points) statistically City should win 3.2 to 0.8, say 3-1

Indeed. Passes completed is an utterly witless stat on its own, as is percentage possession. Both are increased through ultra-cautious defenders passing the ball around in their own half, to no good end. While we've been winning, this season and last, we've not been excessively focused on keeping possession or safety-first passing.
 
The league table along suggests that passes completed means **** all.

They would be better off using the fact we are above them as an indicator that completing less passes is better for results.

Stats, a load of old bollocks

Looks like the Birmingham Mail are unbiased.

Complete bollocks of the highest order.

They go through every stat that positively projects AV's positives verses U.S. and then completely ignores the fact that we have scored twice as many goals as them and have twice as many points as well.

Why are the United States even part of the equation?
 
Very interesting match this. It could well be our first proper indication of what Ranieri is made of tactically.

The selection will be challenging for him. If I were him, I'd also fiddle with the formation. Do what the opposition aren't expecting. Especially against a thick as pig shit coach like Sherwood.

I'd go 3-4-3 (switching sides for Albrighton and Mahrez to confuse them) and go for them from the start.

Schmeichel

De Laet Huth Morgan

Albrighton Kante Drinkwater Schlupp

Vardy Okazaki Mahrez
 
Too much optimism, Mahrez player of the month...Lawro tipping a 2-1 win

Drab 1-0 loss. Sky never want to show us again
 
3-1 Leicester. Izzet, Southgate (og) Cottee. Dublin for them.
 
Under the heading "Are Leicester less detestable this season" by a Villa journalist he spouts this:-

Leicester this season are a completely different side. They are almost likable. Okay, not quite, but the fact is, Leicester are far less detestable than they were last season.

For all us journalists, the fear of being called an ostrich is over, because Nigel Pearson was sacked at the end of the season! As Leicester manager, most of us thought that Pearson was a d**k, and he was sacked for disagreeing with the owner's decision to sack Nigel Pearson's son for being a racist sex fiend, so, calling the family Pearson D**k's is kinda justified. After his dismissal, Leicester appointed Claudio Ranieri as manager, a well respected journeyman in football management.

In Blaarev's words. Nice
 
Will be a fast paced game, arguably the team that can match our fast pace and tempo the best.

We'll shit em
