Pre Match Leicester vs Everton - Boxing day

[homer]

If Chilwell plays, then Albrighton must start in front of him
And we won't drop Mahrez, so Gray stays on the bench

Playing Was would be a feckin' disaster, so Hernandez must start

 

[yackandandah]

Was is a sending off waiting to happen. And we really don't need another of those!

 

[Skitzo]

It will be interesting how CR shuffles the pack due to suspensions. I think Gray deserves a start. Hernandez seems out of favour and i think Wasyl may start next to Morgan. As Chilwell will probably replace Fuchs . i think they might put a pacy winger against him(eg Lennon) therefore Albrighton or Gray will have to carry out defensive duties. They also have a couple of players out. Im hoping for a narrow 1-0 win but expecting 1-1 draw Okazaki)

BIB: on what basis? we normally only have 1 sub and without Jeff on the bench we have no left back cover where as Amartey would cover both CB and RB so Chilwell was selected instead last game before that Hernandez was either sub or starting

NB - Was, as has already been said, is a red card waiting to happen, and I don't think Chilwell is quite ready yet.

Chilwell will have to be ready!

 

[FOX Franks]

Drop Albrighton to left back, and play Gray as the left winger.
Chilwell and Schlupp not required, and Gray starts. Sorted.

I would be tempted to play Gray up top, I know he's not a striker and I'm a useless Tosser but could be fun.

Gray can not dominate whole games yet Albrighton is the better player by a country mile, I wonder if CR is looking fir Gray to take up Mahrez's position in January ?

Blimey, some goals rattled in that day. Must have been some serious hangover nursing.

I think we were top of the first division then.. Probably with our best ever team. But unlike last year we fell away.
Happy days

 

[Red Leicester]

Just checked, Boxing Day 1963 was the season after we fell away badly with Everton eventually claiming the title in 62/63.
So the reverse of this season, Everton playing the champions the following boxing day! City to win 2-0 again

Hernandez wasnt even sub last game
