Match Thread Leicester v West Ham

[SilverFox]

Maddison is going nowhere.

 

[Miles Away]

Resisting the urge to say I don’t like that side

 

[Micky]

To be fair, I have heard that United expect the Jadon Sancho deal to go through this week so I doubt they'd also be spending big on Maddison.

 

[Lako42]

I like the personnel and imagine he will alter the positioning and approach based on who we are up against.

 

[City Fan]

Presumably Barnes and Perez will be playing narrow as Inside Forwards, with most of the width coming from Castagne and Justin.

 

[SilverFox]

Maddison just signed a new contract. We are done selling our talent this window. Put the Prozac down and step away from the steaming festering tabloid turdtale

 

[lesterboy]

We will play 3 at the back today. West ham play Antonio up front on his own and would also target justin in the air in a back 4. The 3 bigger lads at the back should counter that.

Can’t see Dortmund suddenly crumbling on this tbh.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

No Ndidi, Pereira, Praet or Maddison. That’s a huge 4 players out. Most teams would have no chance missing them... hope we don’t miss them!

 

[camberwell fox]

My day is ruined. That ugly **** Crouch is commentating for BT today.

 

[londonfox]

We’ll miss Praet, and obviously Maddison would be the ideal replacement. But it’s basically the side that last week pulled Man City’s pants down.

Anyone getting their knickers in a twist about this meaning Maddison is off to Utd needs to calm down. The real question is; is our club captain being tapped up to reunite his partnership with Harry Maguire after being mysteriously dropped from the squad with no explanation?

We didn’t miss three of them from the starting 11 last week

 

[popillius]

Tielemans' passing is just exceptional.

 

[glyn]

As the BT commentator just said Harvey is making those incisive runs now as well and is basically turning into a second striker alongside Vardy at times. It’s great to see

 

[glyn]

I’m not as critical as some of Perez but he does run himself into trouble quite often

 

[popillius]

Wow. That was shit

 

[tedfoxxx]

Wow, managed to muff up a free kick in their half and then it’s in the back of our net.

That worked then...

Yeah I definitely think Barnes will play more as a support striker a lot this season, with Maddison coming in for Perez in this, setup.

 

[SilverFox]

You know when you are playing FIFA and it feels like it switches to a mode where the computer will inevitably score... that.
