Match Thread Leicester v Stoke

[Jeff]

 

[Jeff]

Schmeichel, Simpson, Maguire, Morgan (c), Chilwell, Ndidi, James, Mahrez, Albrighton, Gray, Vardy.

Subs: Jakupović, Dragović, Fuchs, Iborra, Silva, Diabaté, Iheanacho.

He obviously likes Matty James and Demarai Gray. For me Gray has got to deliver something soon or he needs to be binned off.

 

[H T B]

Can't see Berahino in their squad. Thank feck for that.
Like the idea of Gray behind Vardy.
COYB

 

[Graz]

I’m quite surprised to see Gray in there to be honest. I’m not sure he’s earned that place recently. I would’ve preferred to see Nacho Man in there.

James too is a surprise. Would’ve been expecting Silva to be the first choice by now.

Morgan back in isn’t so surprising. Dragovic has done well but Morgan is our captain and leader so you expect him to come back in - I’m backing him to score today too

James has been better than Silva and Iborra whenever he has played. I'm hopeful Silva will step up soon but at the moment, James has to get in ahead of him. I'm not too confident about Iborra.

With Gray, it all depends which mood he turns up in. It shouldn't be, but it is. Like Graz, I think Iheanacho is unlucky to miss out. He'd be in ahead of Gray for me.

 

[Red Leicester]

Looks like a Shakey team to me. I hope CP has a plan, and think he may well need a plan B.

 

[camberwell fox]

I like it, if they all turn up we could wipe the floor with them, if not a turgid afternoon is in store

You mean the man who hasn't scored a goal for two full calendar years?

Yes, thank goodness he's not playing...

They are so awful I'm not sure our team selection is that vital - although it strikes me as a perfect game for Silva to run the show. Pity we have to watch James instead, but there you go

4-0 to us, at least

 

[Miles Away]

Haven’t a clue what Claude considers his best 11.

Bench looks shit hot.

I think that’s at least two of you.

 

[pork pie fox]

Bench looks shit hot.

That’s a good point.

 

[fitz]

Harsh on Dragovic I reckon.

 

[Jeff]

A reminder that this game is on Sky One (including on Now TV), so you don't need the Sports package to watch it.

 

[Orifice]

Don't expect to win by more than four today. A grim draw most likely.
Are we not winning yet?

 

[londonfox]

Matty James couldn’t finish his dinner

 

[popillius]

Will Chilwell EVER learn his lesson? So many times he tries to bring it out from the back and loses the ball in a dangerous position.

 

[camberwell fox]

Hmmmmm

 

[popillius]

Gray has started very well.

 

[popillius]

Worst corner ever.
