Match Thread Leicester v Wolves

[Jeff]

 

[Jeff]

Schmeichel, Justin, Fofana, Evans, Fuchs, Thomas, Mendy, Tielemans, Praet, Maddison, Vardy

Subs: Ward, Morgan, Choudhury, Albrighton, Ünder, Barnes, Iheanacho.

 

[City Fan]

Not keen on that lineup at all, but then I said that the last few matches and we won them all.

 

[Miles Away]

Seems determined to stick with the back five. Could easily switch to a 4 and push Thomas on.

 

[City Fan]

Ünder or Barnes instead of Praet would have been better.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Come on you Foxes!

 

[Jimmy Lad]

No bigger compliment to Wolves than to match them up. We struggled massively against them last season so Brendan may well have learned from it.

 

[M17TT C]

Surprised to see Barnes dropped, especially with no Under too as Vardy seems isolated without either of these.

Hopefully we can still sneak it though.

 

[sparky79]

Surprised not to see Barnes as well but perhaps he is planning another smash and grab with Under and Barnes coming on as the pace from 55 odd mins.
Looks stronger at the back so no doubt we'll concede three now to prove that no one knows anything!

 

[popillius]

It is an odd one that Praet starts and neither Under or Barnes starts.

Who the **** knows though after recent events.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Reckon this will be frustrating as **** for an hour and then we’ll try and win it by bringing on the wingers. Batten down the hatches.

 

[popillius]

Corner style free kick from Maddison.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Can’t see there being many or any goals in this... cue the deluge

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Would like to have seen Albrighton at right back

 

[Graz]

Definitely think it's a mistake to not use Barnes from the start here.

Maybe as the home team we want to play with more possession in this one and think Praet will be better for that. But it means Vardy is the only one who will look to get behind them, no support running in behind and I think that will make it too easily defensively for a very solid Wolves back line.

Vardy has had more freedom with Barnes more advanced recently because it makes it harder for defenders to only watch Vardy

 

[Brown Nose]

Should be a pen that

 

[Graz]

Penalty!

For us. But I don't like it. He had no chance to get out of the way of that.

 

[popillius]

Should be a pen that

Yep. And it is.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Get in

 

[Graz]

Goal! Get in!

Don't like seeing penalties for that but will take it when it puts us in front!
