Pre Match Leicester v Brighton

[Jeff]

Surely Kasper has played more than Vardy?

He missed three months in 2014/15

 

[camberwell fox]

Yep. Carried it on too.

27 now with a 6 year old of her own...who obviously can't remember us winning the title. He's been brought up on it though. Loves watching the DVD.
He confidently told me last time I saw him that he can wait & be patient so he can see us win it again.

The poor little sod.

Isn’t that classed as child abuse?

I can tell you, quite categorically, from extensive family member experience, that the fart of a vegetarian is nowhere near as bad as the expulsion of fetid gas from a meat eater. And that is an indisputable fact.

Is that sample size statistically representative....

 

[SilverFox]

We never play at a ‘normal’ time anymore.

 

[Speedy1]

That sounds more like Garry Parker, one of my favourite City midfielders, and was a player too.

LOVED Garry Parker, second only to Muzzy until current crop.

Not often you meet a youngster called Methuselah these days.

Kasper

Justin Fofana Evans Thomas

Ndidi Tielemans

Under Maddison Barnes

Vardy
​

Please Mr Brendan sir, please!

 

[sparky79]

Only concern with Thomas and Barnes is keeping Lamptey in check who is their most potent threat. I wouldn't be surprised if BR goes with the below ensuring Fuchs and Justin cover Lamptey. Conservative approach to get a win before we get the full squad back.

Schmeichel
Fofana Evans Fuchs
Albrighton Ndidi Tielemans Justin
Maddison Barnes
Vardy

Vardy

So we should base our lineup on the strength of the right wing back/fullback for the team who are 5th bottom of the table? If we do that it’s the sort of chicken shit stuff that’s caused us issues before.

 

[sparky79]

That's why I say "I wouldn't be surprised" if that were the team as we've seen BR try and set up differently than the 'best XI' that most of us would like to put out.
I'd go for Under and Barnes with Thomas and Justin on their correct flanks......but as i say, wouldn't be surprised if we don't.

Worryingly, I think he could well go for this line up.

 

[Brown Nose]

The regular starters in the PL that were left out against Athens are likely to start. That has been BRs approach so far.

He doesn't start Thomas twice in a week because he says he's not physically up to it yet. He might start Under and Barnes against Everton but he probably won't here. The only change to the Sheff Utd line up that seems likely to me is Ndidi starting instead of Mendy.

My expected line up:

Schmeichel
Fofana Evans Fuchs
Albrighton Ndidi/Mendy Tielemans Justin
Perez Vardy Maddison

I expect several changes for the Everton match which kicks off only 70 hours after this match. The only alternative is if he rolls out mainly the same players against Brighton and switches more to the above line up against Everton but I can't see BR doing that.

Several changes every game are inevitable at the moment as the players are being rotated. We have 5 PL games in 15 days now and several of our squad are knackered already.

I think he’s picked the exact side we will see tomorrow.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Tricky run of games coming up after this one. Everton at home, Spurs away, Manure at home (on a Saturday!!!) and Palace away.

No idea what to expect from any of them. I hope we’re positive today, I’m desperate to see a proper front three and a back four. Some width up front and pace on the wings. If the reason for the back three is because Brenda is concerned about Fofana‘s ability to play in a back two as I think has been suggested, then I think he’s ****ing daft.

 

[fitz]

This on Amazon aye? Will we see Under with his Prime deliveries or back to Madders and his Hermes efforts.

Madders doesn’t even knock on your door, he chucks the ****er over the first defender’s fence.

 

[popillius]

He never EVER gets ANYTHING over the first defender.

Ah, Parcel Force

I honestly think the back three is to provide cover behind Mendy and to cover for the fact that Fuchs and Evans are slow, Justin, Thomas and Fofana are young and will make mistakes. I expect it to revert when Soyuncu, Castagne, NDidi and Ricardo are back.
