Subs: Hamer, Maguire, Ndidi, Albrighton, Barnes, Okazaki, Vardy.

Benalouane scares the bejesus out of me. Otherwise, that is more than good enough to put Fleetwood away.

The players involved in the first game should have been good enough to win.

Happy with that lineup.

With King not involved that leaves Ihenacho and/or Slimani as the scapegoat(s) if the worst happens.

I absolutely agree. I'm not counting any chickens at all!

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Thought tonight may have been a good opportunity for Robert Hoof to get some minutes. Particularly in view of A. Having no fit cover for Dragovic at the moment (I don’t count Benny as good enough) and B. I’m surprised we’re risking Mahrez getting injured.. cotton wool him for me.

 

[Jeff]

I'm surprised that Mahrez is captain, I'd have expected it to be Iborra or Fuchs. Maybe being captain increases your value...

 

[bloo]

I like the look of that. But I wasn't seeing the selection of Mahrez AND him captaining!

 

[Jenks]

Off to the game. Was hoping for a slightly stronger lineup but these fellas should do it. Enough extra on the bench if we need it. 3-1 the beautiful blue bastards

Slightly stronger than 60 million of talent upfront. Our best winger. Our only choice at right back and left back and our new 'best midfielder at the club' in midfield.

You realise were playing Fleetwood?

Just like the first game if we don't get a result it has nothing to do with talent and all about application.

 

[popillius]

Iheanacho has asked for the ball more times in the first 12 minutes than I've seen him do in all of his other appearances combined. He seems to want to be involved tonight - let's hope it lasts.

 

[Miles Away]

With exception of Benny looks a decent side. And even he is OK most of the time.

Love seeing Riyad in the armband.

Yes, thought the same. He’s even been booked already!

moronic yellow card

He’s playing far too deep for my liking.

 

[homer]

Twenty minutes of complete pish

 

[glyn]

Amartey’s use of arms there, all over the fleetwood player, just showed desperation. Not very composed defending.

 

[Red Leicester]

Excellent setup for tonight.
Another good opportunity to see some new players, If they're not good enough against Fleetwood at home, then they wont make the Premier league.
I think we will win easily. If not we still have the post Ranieri syndrome and CP will have lots more work to do.
4-0 City, scorers irrelevant.

 

[glyn]

Slimani is pretty invisible.

 

[City Fan]

115 minutes against Fleetwood, still no shot on target.
