Pre Match Sevilla v Leicester

[City Fan]

So hard to choose 11 players this season, for the complete opposite reasons to last season.

But here's my best shot (assuming Wague is out):

Schmeichel

Simpson
Benalouane
Morgan
Chilwell

Kapustka
N'Didi
Mendy
Albrighton

Gray
Slimani

 

[City Fan]

I really didn't want to put Morgan, Mendy and Albrighton in...but literally who else is there?

 

[londonfox]

Kapustka is no longer registered for the Champions League.

Honestly, I could give a **** which shower he picks for this one. Let's get this hammering over with and get Ranieri out of the club. Surely to God a monumental hammering on a European stage has to be the end for him.

How he wasn't sacked immediately after the final whistle at the Den is still a mystery to me.

Ah yes that's right. Another ridiculous decision from Claudio.

I'd have to put Gray on the wing then and put Vardy (pffft) up front.

Schmeichel

Simpson
Benalouane
Morgan
Chilwell

Gray
N'Didi
Amartey
Albrighton

Vardy
Slimani

 

[City Fan]

Talk about slim pickings.

 

[FIF]

Is this who we'd choose or who we think will play?

My choice would be:

Kasper

Amartey
Benny
Huth
Chilwell

Mahrez
Mendy
Ndidi
Drinkwater
Gray


Slimani

Either or.

Good god I completely forgot about Amartey. I can drop Mendy out then.

 

[londonfox]

Doesn't matter. We're gonna lose regardless. Honestly lads, don't waste your time.

LF, why the animosity towards CR? I don't get it, he may be making mistakes now tactically and substitution wise but the players are letting us down not CR, surely.

He deserves our support. He has done the RIGHT thing, he has stuck (pretty much) with his 11 from last season loyally in the hope they can find something to redress what is wrong. He has only tinkered through frustration at the abject and ongoing failure of this same 11.

He has achieved something incredible and you know what - we need to stick with him come what may.

Who would you pick to replace him? I can't see anyone currently on the market anywhere near CR's calibrate, can you?

FFS we need to buck this trend of boom and bust. If last season hadn't happened we would rightly expect us to be not too far off where we lie today. Our performances have been very poor but I am certain CR hasn't asked his players to play this way.

Please don't try and kid yourself/others that the grass is greener on the other side - it may not be.

You're joking right?

 

[londonfox]

You're joking right?

CF must be, surely

 

[Mawsley]

Couldn't.

You couldn't give a **** about who is picked.

 

[camberwell fox]

Not even remotely.

 

[City Fan]

Not even remotely.

Wow.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

I think to entirely blame the players and absolve Ranieri of any wrong doing is as bad as, well blaming Ranieri and absolving the players of any wrong doing. It's a fair assessment that both playing staff and management staff have been equally shit this season.

Much more interesting if he could.

Go wow, go wild in the country...
