Pre Match Leicester vs. Burnley (25th September 2021)

[Lako42]

That doesn’t surprise me in the slightest - that will be down to the late sale of tickets, the cost of the tests, and the general faff you have to go through to travel nowadays.

I would be well up for that trip if it wasn’t for the pandemic.

Also goes down to the absolute farce that our ticket office has made of selling the tickets.

A genuine piss take, they've changed their minds twice on who can buy the tickets.

Schmeichel
Ricardo Vestegaard Soyuncu Castagne
Ndidi
Lookman Tielemans Barnes
Iheanacho Vardy

if it's not this then i'll take quite a lot of convincing that whatever team we do name is better.

if it's

Perez Maddison Barnes
Vardy

then i'm not tuning in......

Watts

Walsh Vestergaard Soyuncu Evans

Elliott Carey

Mills Prior Amartey

Sinclair

At least they would pass to each other in a forwards direction.

Two upfront it brought us our best run of wins last season one upfront is pissing in the wind.

Our best run of wins last season was six in a row in October/November. I don't think we played with two strikers for any of those games. We played one of them with no strikers.

 

[Matt_B]

That, and our boring as **** football.

Not many want to see two centre backs pass to each other all match.

So our fans are fickle? Gotcha

Nacho ISN'T starting. Again. That's ridiculous...

I think that everyone of us is expecting the same thing today (line-up / game play).

We are all hoping for something different. Can't wait.

Absolute joke if true.

I'm going to this game and I just know Perez and Maddison will start, it won't take much persuading from the wife to go shoe shopping instead

 

[FrenchFox]

I think maybe 3-4-3

Kasper

Evans Vestergaard Suyunc

Ricardo NDidi Tielemans Castagne

Lookman Vardy Barnes

When we have the ball, 3-4-3 rules. When we are defending, 5-4-1

I'd be very surprised if nacho plays and either of those doesn't.

I'm off to the beach.
