Match Thread Leicester v Fulham

[homer]

Exactly, it's not hard to understand. Justin and Thomas will spend most of the game as wingers if we play it right.

In which case play a ****ing winger FFS

 

[Brown Nose]

Tempted to bet on Justin and Thomas scoring . . .

 

[Bobbins]

I don’t give a shit if I’m wrong and we win 72-0. One size doesn’t fit all and I don’t agree with the tactic on games such as today.

So you wouldn't agree even if the tactic works?

OG ?

 

[Orifice]

Are we winning yet? Come on.

 

[M17TT C]

Not overly thrilled with the 5 at the back set up if I'm being completely honest but lots of moaning pre match is usually a good sign!

I’ve said above, I disagree with it in games like these. I wouldn’t say I disagree with it against teams where we defend more, even if we lose (like against Liverpool). I think it’s very good for us in games like that.

Please explain why we're saving anyone for Zorya away?

To win the group and avoid having to play a good side in the round for 32. Winning that game would have us 1 from quarter finals where it gets interesting.

 

[Volpone]

Why do they clap like a load of chimps instead of a minute's silence? I can understand when the stadium is full because you get some noisy idiots in the crowd but pointless when there are no fans.

 

[Miles Away]

Scrappy, congested start.

 

[City Fan]

Or, if you play a back four then you nullify the main threats that Justin and Thomas offer and exchange them for one more forward player. In effect, against these you might trade 2 attacking threats for one.

Four at the back worked so disastrously when we won 8 in a row last season, didn’t it?

 

[homer]

We are playing way too deep

 

[popillius]

Funny how we all see things differently. I think he’s a bit of a show pony who’s easily dispossessed and doesn’t track back. Undoubtedly skilful but needs to do more dirty work.
Also did you see his ‘effort’ at defending Liverpool’s corner when Firmino headed straight in?

He was our biggest and best threat against Liverpool. The two goals he has set up so far this season have been lovely. He's also scored twice in his last two internarional outings. I can't help but feel we should be making more of him, especially against Fulham.

 

[popillius]

We are playing way too deep

Yep. We should be at them. This formation is daft.

 

[City Fan]

Why on earth did we even sign Under when we’d rather play inexperienced defenders as wingers?

 

[homer]

He was our biggest and best threat against Liverpool. The two goals he has set up so far this season have been lovely. He's also scored twice in his last two internarional outings. I can't help but feel we should be making more of him, especially against Fulham.

Yup - him and Barnes against their back four would be lovely

Vardy is playing on his own

Somebody wake me when something happens.

 

[Miles Away]

Yeah I don’t understand this. Early doors, I suppose.

 

[homer]

Somebody wake me when something happens.

Could be some time

Rest well

Less than impressive so far..
