The combination that doesn't work in midfield...

Shocking

[lcfcrules]

Gray not even on the bench

 

[Graz]

I'm not a fan of Drinky/King combo but I think Claudio might try it differently tonight...

I think Drinky may play the deeper/defensive role, and King make the moves forward ahead of him.

Drinky was frustrated at the lack of movement around him when he got the ball against Chelsea. King in more of his old role could I've that.

Hopefully... Because the two together usually don't work

Very surprised Gray isn't making the bench tonight

 

[FOX Franks]

Why not play Amartey, when he has been so solid against non top-four prem teams?!

 

[londonfox]

What the hell do Morgan and Vardy have to do, or not do, to be dropped?

 

[FIF]

Surprising lineup.

 

[Skitzo]

What the hell do Morgan and Vardy have to do, or not do, to be dropped?

I agree with this, I'm all for having faith in players but come on you have to draw a line somewhere

 

[City Fan]

What the hell do Morgan and Vardy have to do, or not do, to be dropped?

Do a dump in Vichai's helicopter?

 

[Feriol]

Amartey being rested for the league games?

 

[Blaarev]

We are the only team in the history of the Champions League who have won every game we have played. Hopefully we can say that after thonight's game as well.

 

[harrowfox]

Three strikers on bench. Can't recall seeing that too often for us.

 

[glyn]

Wes struggling. We're definitely seeing some of those little things that we didn't have against us last season....

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Not been great so far.

 

[Motown Fox]

Great atmosphere here.

Need a few calm heads though.

Slimani just couldn't work out what to do with the ball when the defender gave it him.

COYCS

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

That move sums up the difference this season. Small chance of a counter attack, but we knock it back into defence and waste it with a long ball having given their defence a chance to get back...

 

[londonfox]

Slimani just couldn't work out what to do with the ball when the defender gave it him.

The way I saw it there was sod all movement around him.

Our only tactic thus far has been long punts upfield.

 

[Billyjof]

That was a chance great work by Vardy, Slimani free on the 6 yard box and Vards fluffs it.
