Match Thread Swansea v Leicester

[Durham Fox]

I don't think he's bottled it. I think Claudio believes in this team. Perhaps we should?

You've seen us this season, right?

 

[Micky]

You've seen us this season, right?

Yes. We've been terrible. I still have a little hope though.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Nice to reward Benny and Kaputska's decent performances by dropping them both from the bench.

... against a championship second eleven. Today we are playing a full strength in form PL team.

 

[Skitzo]

an early goal for us is vital

 

[LES Fox]

Oh dear!

Based on this selection the FA cup was just to rest underperforming players, not an opportunity for others. Hate to say it but CR has lost the plot.

Same again from the "band of brothers" and we're in the deepest shit.

and the players that have replaced them have been crap against those sides all season so whats the harm in changing them?

Also, the thing I liked best on Wednesday was the way the three wide men moved around and swapped places. I'm interested to see that today with Mahrez, Gray and Albrighton.

Swansea v Leicester (16:00 GMT)

Posted at 15:43
Robert Huth and Wes Morgan are practising a few stepovers and fancy flicks in the Leicester warm-up. Focus on the defending first, eh lads?

 

[camberwell fox]

Maybe, just maybe Claudio has decided to show the same loyalty to these players as he is being shown by our owners?

 

[SilverFox]

Come on then lads. Let's see what you've got left.

 

[The Old Fox]

It wouldn't have been my team, but we go with Claudio's selection. I choose not to believe the players' revolt theory but, the board must be aware of the truth.

IF, there is, even the slightest, truth in the idea that the team is being chosen by committee then, come the end of the season, Claudio and the ring leaders should all be told that they are surplus to requirements. A manager must have full control of his team.

[Moose]

Draw 1-1 in 90 minutes against a championship club's reserve team and all of a sudden that's the team we need for a relegation battle?

Whacky.

This is a good team. We will boss this.

 

[SilverFox]

Morgan already looks tired

 

[LES Fox]

On a plus, good to see Gray playing behind the skank.

 

[Brown Nose]

On a plus, good to see Gray playing behind the skank.

Weird, as I'm bewildered by it. He's really effective out wide and usually anonymous in the middle. Surely, Mahrez should be the central one?

 

[SilverFox]

Just had a nice bright attacking moment.

 

[SwedeFox]

Well, Swansea look beatable

 

[Skitzo]

Weird, as I'm bewildered by it. He's really effective out wide and usually anonymous in the middle. Surely, Mahrez should be the central one?

they should be rotating constantly, like they did Weds night

 

[SilverFox]

Playing some nice football at times.
