Match Thread Peterborough v Leicester (FA cup)

[Jeff]

Hamer, Simpson, Maguire, Benalouane, Fuchs (c), Silva, Iborra, Diabaté, Gray, Barnes, Iheanacho.

Subs: Jakupović, Chilwell, Huth, Albrighton, Ndidi, Mahrez, Vardy

 

[Blaarev]

10 changes. Diabaté gets his debut

 

[FryattFox]

I'd have at least thrown Albrighton in there as well, but at least there is a reasonable core to that team.

Still slightly disappointing that it's not our first team as we've got a real chance to progress. Puel sending a clear message that this isn't his priority.

 

[Graz]

Quite a strong team. Good strength in depth now. Good to see Simpson’s on his way back.

I’m looking forward to seeing Silva and Diabaté today. And Barnes too in fact.

3-0 City win I think. Iheanacho, Barnes and Gray.

 

[homer]

That looks a poor team to me - at the very least a risky team

Very dissappointed

 

[Lako42]

Centrally we'll struggle.

Silva isn't up to speed and they will be like a rash from the off.

Strange team

Or perhaps it is a priority and Puel is sending out the message that he believes fully in his squad to get the job done.

 

[Micky]

I would feel more confident if we had the energy of Ndidi and Albrighton in the team.

 

[homer]

Hamer is pish
Simpson first game back from injury
Benny a complete bomb scare
Barnes completely untested, and was poor the last time he was tried
Diabate a complete unknown
Nacho had one half-decent performance since he got here

Six massive high risk areas - let's hope they are bobbins

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

They are both on the bench if needed.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Benalouane? f*ck sake..

Barnes and Diabete starting. Puel really does have confidence in his young players. Will be interesting to see Diabate. Barnes was largely ineffective against Fleetwood but let's not write him off yet.

We know little about, and I suspect Posh know even less about them, so we may have a surprise factor.

 

[City Fan]

Not quite as bad as Fleetwood because at least we have some game changers on the bench should we need them.

But still a ridiculous and arrogant selection once again. Wish I hadn’t bothered.

 

[Harbfox]

Good bench though,no King or Slimani?

We can always hope Homsey. We can always hope...

 

[bloo]

Strange team

Yes, my thought too.

Barnes scored at Peterborough last season for mk.

 

[Orifice]

Could be an uncomfortable afternoon. I expect Peterborough will be more up for this than some of our lot.

Anyhow, Are we winning yet?

 

[Klaus Hergersheimer]

Still hopeful. However, I reserve the right to lose my shit with Puel if this goes wrong.

 

[Brown Nose]

You don't select Hamer or Benny if you give a shit. Both are accidents waiting to happen.
