Match Thread Leicester v AEK

[Jeff]

 

[Jeff]

Subs: Schmeichel, Jakupović, Morgan, Fuchs, Choudhury, Mendy, Albrighton, Pérez, Vardy.

 

[Miles Away]

Strong side. Like the shape.

 

[Funky Fox]

4 4 2 or is Wilf going in the back 3?

Or probably 4 1 4 1

 

[Miles Away]

I see it as a 4-2-3-1 with Wilf being able to drop into the back if the shape changes

 

[tedfoxxx]

Back 4!!!!

I like that side, need to make sure that either Praet or Under plays near Iheanacho.

 

[popillius]

Nacho over Perez though....

 

[Funky Fox]

Keep Perez fresh for Brighton game

 

[Brown Nose]

It's either

Ward
Justin Fofana Evans Thomas
Ndidi
Under Praet Tielemans Barnes
Iheanacho

Or:

Ward
Fofana Evans Ndidi
Justin Praet Tieleman Thomas
Under Iheanacho Barnes

That looks like a strong team. If it’s a back 4, Evans has got some talking to do, with 3 young lads alongside him.

 

[homer]

Oh I do hope it’s 4-1-4-1, even with Iheanacho in the side it’s still our best line up with that lot

 

[M17TT C]

Quite like the look/shape of that - back to 4-1-4-1/4-1-2-3 which is when we seemed to play our most entertaining football.

Nacho as the striker makes sense for me as I don't think Perez suits the out and out striker role but hopefully when he comes on, he'll play central - I can see it being Perez for Praet around 60 mins.

All a bit positive though which means we'll probably lose!

I like that we can make 7 changes from a premier league victory and still look pretty damn strong. Things are definitely looking positive in the sense of depth (mostly).

I was thinking it's a team that could change from 0-1-9 to 9-1-0 as cicrumstances dictate, but your formation is more sensible.

 

[Brown Nose]

Maddison missing due to knee problem . . .

I like that we can rotate people that we can later refer to as incorrect selections. There are so many incorrect selections to choose from.

 

[sparky79]

Maddison missing due to knee problem . . .

No doubt Tielemans will step up as he normally does when being the only ball player

An eleven not starting this evening:

Schmeichel
Ricardo Soyuncu Morgan Castagne
Mendy Choudhury
Perez Maddison Albrighton
Vardy

Plus: Jakupovic, Fuchs, Morgan, Slimani, Gray, Amartey

 

[Brown Nose]

If either Iheanacho or Albrighton get booked tonight, they are suspended from the first knock out match.
