Match Thread Watford v Leicester

[City Fan]

Shouldn't that be ARM?

I’ve clearly played too much Football Manager

 

[Micky]

Just to keep everyone level headed. 3-0 to Watford.

 

[Miles Away]

I actually do expect us to lose today.

 

[Jeff]

The Guardian say it's 3-5-2 with Barnes playing in the middle with Vardy. But they're probably just guessing.

 

[Miles Away]

Would be good to have Hamza in the 18.

That what I guessed too.

Whoa, straight in and a switch to 3 at the back?! Bloody hell Brendan, that's ballsy. I love it.

I've been waiting to see us go 3 at the back for a long while. Chilwell and Ricardo both clearly more suited to wing backs than full backs. My only worry is if our back, particularly Evans and Morgan, are mobile enough for that system as they will need to get across and cover.

I assumed he'd keep the same line up as the other day. Gray scores and is then out of the team.

Sky shows it as a 3-4-2-1 with Maddison and Barnes flanking Vardy. I assume that's most likely. Kinda like he did at Liverpool with Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling?

 

[Graz]

I think Vardy will get his 2 goals today to take him to 100 for the club

 

[Weeble]

ffs

 

[Jenks]

Poor defending and maybe offside?

 

[Jeff]

Rodgers out!

 

[Graz]

Ah ffs.

Deeney looks offside. Great ball in from Deulofeou though. Twat.

 

[M17TT C]

OK then....

 

[Graz]

Rodgers not instantly fixing our slow starts in the 3 days he's had then.

We've not going at all yet.

 

[lesterboy]

Yet another set piece goal.

 

[Brown Nose]

Defensive line was too deep. Another poor effort defending what should have been a routine set piece. It was offside but very poor defending from Morgan.

Massive gamble changing the shape so significantly straightaway. It's ballsy I give him that. We need to get a grip quickly though because Watford are all over us.

 

[Graz]

Our front 3 are closing well. Maddison and Barnes noticeably doing a lot of pressing.

 

[M17TT C]

Shit that didn't look good!

Was Vardy KO'd for a second then??

EDIT - Ahh he looks fine now thankfully.

 

[Graz]

Fantastic passes from both Ricardo and then Chilwell to knock it back across first time.

Shame Barnes ****ed the shot

 

[Brown Nose]

Wes Morgan looks overweight and very, very, slow. He's reached an age where he has to play his way back into fitness/form and we cannot afford to allow him to.
