Pre Match Leicester v Chelsea

[Brown Nose]

My tactics for this game are very simple.

Sit deep and compact with five at the back and three in central midfield and play entirely on the break.

Be very violent and aggressive with Chelsea players such as Palmer. Kick 'em early and kick 'em hard. Disrupt the tempo of the game as much as we can get away with. Go down for injuries etc.

Play with as much height in the team as possible because set pieces seem our best chance to score and they look vulnerable at them.

Proper old school scumbag behaviour.

Good grief, Saturday is going to be bad isn’t it.

Although you’d hope our big attacking summer signing might get a start in the midst of an injury crisis?

Yep how far we have fallen.

Don't you worry yourself

Stevie Cooper has had ages to plan for this match and will have definitely come up with a master plan. No way he will set up in exactly the same way as that would obviously be suicide

He's a top top manager, and we're lucky to have him

Absolutely agree with all of this. It's got to be about disruption because we can't go tow.ro.toe.with them. Make them have to work ****ing hard to get through us by being as rough as possible.

Honestly, I'd go so far to say that we should be rougher than a barebacking from homer.

 

[popillius]

set up in exactly the same way

Yeah but that's not why we concede. There's nothing that shows that. It's all from corners or summat.

Are you broken?

I spent so long trying to work out who you mean, because I'd already put Eduoard in there.

Completely forgot about El Khannous.

We haven't got the bollocks to do that.

Anyone got any hidden videos of Andy Madley off his tits calling Enzo a ****?

Or was I the only one…

 

[fitz]

Change the system now that Fatawu is out.

Hermansen
Justin, Okoli, Vesty, Faes, Kristiansen
Soumare, Winks, Ndidi
Eduoard, Mavididi

It's shit but we don't seem to have many attacking options, so we have to put an extra defender in.

The squad is absolutely shit isn't it. ****ing hell.

Basically, be classic Bolton / Stoke.

It's pretty obviously really. If you hold it at arms length and squint your eyes it's actually a pixellated picture of Mario. The problem, which is really, really obvious, is we're at a level one platform game. Whereas Chelsea, under EM, will be full on Black Ops 6.

 

[jb5000]

The teams we struggled against most last season under Enzo didn't try to play it around (in fact, we completely trounced Southampton twice) but were compact and combative. That's what we need now. I'd go for:
Hermanson
Justin Coady Vestergaard Faes Kristiansen
Ayew Skipp Ndidi Mavididi
Daka

It'll be absolutely horrible

I had to search who that is.

I thought he'd played for Watford.

Did he also say "Jason Derulo". He likes to say that.
