Pre Match Manchester United v Leicester

[Graz]

I can't believe anyone wouldn't play Vardy after the chaos he caused in their defence in the game earlier this season?!

4 assists and a goal... Vardy has to play surely.

So you think that a player is as good as their last match against a specific opposition, as opposed to their general current form? I'm not saying that's wrong, but I think it was Vardy's pace that caused a shambolic and stretched Man Utd problems, and we have other players who offer that (Schlupp).

For all the talk of Vardy causing their defence problems in the home match, it was only for the last 30 mins (where they fell apart). For that reason, I'd much rather see Ulloa and Kramaric start, with Vardy brought on up top later in the match.

(We also shouldn't waste him on the right wing!...)

 

[Miles Away]

Vardy will play on the right.

King or Drinky may get dropped for Cambiasso.

Hamer, harshly, will lose his place.

Konchesky comes back in for De Laet.

Was starts for Liam (of course).

I'd personally play an extra central midfielder and drop Vardy.

One swallow doth not a summer make.

Don't know if this should go here or in the "Card Watch" thread but Moore and Wasyl picked up yellows against Tottenham bringing them both to 5 for the season, does this mean they're suspended for the game on Saturday?

No. The cut off date for a 5 yellow suspension has passed, they now need to get 10 yellows for a suspension.

 

[Robin127]

Thanks, wasn't sure.

 

[sparky79]

If Blackett plays in defence and Rojo is still making his debut then yep, id expect Vardy to cause the same issues. if its Jones, Blind, Smalling then no....

 

[Hazzman]

Hamer, harshly, will lose his place.

For what I have been told that it wouldn't be that harsh. Schwarzer is supposedly competent in all areas rather than excellent in a few, poor in other likes our other two keepers.

 

[Lako42]

Schwarzer should start, you can't afford to give the ball directly to Utd from every goal kick because your keeper can't actually use his feet.

He's been complete and utter site ever since. Beyond shite, actually

Shouldn't be anywhere near the starting eleven

 

[Lako42]

If he starts at Utd I will cry

 

[East Anglia Fox]

Absolutely right. Nowadays favouritism seems to be the most plausible explanation for his continued involvement in the starting line-up.

 

[TommyK]

Ulloa and Karmy have to play up front (if we're really going to go for it).

 

[City Fan]

I think if we really go for it like we did the last time we played them, we can win.

Schwarzer

Simpson
Morgan
Wasilewski
De Laet

Albrighton
Hammond
Cambiasso/Drinkwater
Schlupp

Kramaric
Ulloa

 

[Lako42]

4-4-2 may see us get dicked

It may see us do the dicking.

 

[Jeff]

It may see us do the dicking.

Man Utd's defence is a lot better now than when we played them earlier in the season. And they were much the better team in that game until their defence fell apart. We need an extra man in midfield.

 

[City Fan]

Man Utd's defence is a lot better now than when we played them earlier in the season..

Hence why we need more firepower than just the one striker up front.

I would love to play 5 in midfield, but I feel we have to start with Kramaric and Ulloa, so unless we go to 3 in a back I think we need to play 4 in midfield.

Nugent's marking of Blind was one of the lesser sung parts of that day that made it that day.
