Pre Match Leicester v Manchester City (league Cup QF)

[pork pie fox]

I don’t know him but I’m sure someone said the boss lives out Melton way so it’s probably him. It’s alright, they’ve just had the bar done up this summer, it was a bit dated before. Does the job for a few beers and a couple of hours of complete frustration.

Yeah it's his family's place, but he'll be playing pool tonight. It looks better than the snooker club in Melton!!

 

[SJN-Fox]

He's already said he'll rest Vardy, Evans is suspended, Chilwell injured. I reckon we could see something along the lines of

Ward
Simpson
Benny
Soyuncu
Fuchs
Ghezzal
Ibora
King
Diabate
Iheanacho
Gray

 

[Volpone]

I'm going. I love my club and I've supported it through thick and thin, good times and bad times for 60 years.

 

[Jeff]

Evans is suspended,

Is this the same one match suspension that's been on the FA website for weeks, but no one knows what it's for?

Presumably because he's been booked twice in previous rounds, and that means a suspension in this competition?

 

[SJN-Fox]

My understanding is that he picked up enough yellows in the cup games so far to warrant a suspension. Suspensions that occur in the cup, stay in the cup.

Correct.

I like the ploy.
Play Benny and Pep won't risk Aguerro or De Bruyne

 

[homer]

So who should play tonight, based on current form?

Andy King....

 

[TommyK]

I'd play;

Richardo Morgan Maguire Fuchs
Albrighton Mendy Ndidi Ghezzal
Maddison Vardy

 

[Jeff]

I'd play;

Richardo Morgan Maguire Fuchs
Albrighton Mendy Ndidi Ghezzal
Maddison Vardy

No goalkeeper. Interesting. Even Puel hasn't tried that yet.

 

[TommyK]

Yeah give them chance...

Or Ward.

 

[jb5000]

No goalkeeper. Interesting. Even Puel hasn't tried that yet.

And you wonder why people call him negative

 

[popillius]

My sock drawer is in an unbelievable state and needs urgent attention. I shall be rearranging that tonight.

They've all gone stiff have they?

Bragging about it, you sick bastard.

 

[popillius]

Ward
Ricardo
Maguire
Morgan
Fuchs
Ghezzal
Silva
Iborra
Albrighton
Okazaki
Iheanacho

Just typing that out makes me want to vomit. I'm really not going to bother tonight.

 

[City Fan]

If it was me I’d go with:

Ward

Ricardo
Morgan
Maguire
Fuchs

Mendy
Iborra

Albrighton
Maddison
Ghezzal

Vardy

Deserved drops for Ndidi and Gray, and then the rest kind of picks itself.

 

[Lako42]

That was quick.......



Both ends

 

[David Gwilliam]

A grey and rainy night in Leicester. It is the kind of night where people near near the front arrive to kind the seats are sopping wet. Luckily I did not get a ticket and will watch it in the pub.. I look forward to the beer more than to the match.

If we’re not playing our top strength team tonight it says so much about modern football and our current manager. What’s the point.
