Match Thread Leicester City v Everton (Wednesday 16 December 18:00)

[evertony]

We seen a blueprint for victory against Chelsea, think we'll need a similar type of display but hopefully with a bit more quality on the break.

The only change I'd make is Coleman/Kenny for Mina, and stick Holgate at right back. We've seen Keane and Mina struggle against Vardy before.

Why would you move Holgate to right back if you’ve already brought Seamus or JonJoe in for Mina?

Only Davie Moyes plays three right backs.

Leicester are a funny team, cutting you open like butter then Fulham walking all over them the next day, Holgate HAS to play CB we cannot be playing Mina and Keane against Vardy we just cannot. Play Iwobi wing back if James is back or go with Kenny or Coleman if you wanna be risky.

I think it’s vital we score first. We can’t let them have the opportunity to counter-attack us if we’re having to chase the game.

That's the key, scoring first. If we score first with the system we played yesterday it works a treat. Chasing the game and it becomes a lot more difficult.

1st goal Wednesday for us and I'd feel very confident of us getting a positive result.

Defend deep don’t let Vardy have space behind to run into, Jobs a good en

This is the only tactic and thankfully it has been forced on us. The deep line nullifies his pace with little room in behind us, and we have a couple of speedy guys in defence ourselves anyway if we are caught out. But we really need Doucouré to step up here, because it's the balls from midfield that can kill us. Allan has been better but Doucouré is a concern and he will give them too much time to pick a pass. I think James will be saved for Saturday, so surely it'll be the same xi, providing we have no further injury concerns.

If we can stop Werner getting in behind we can do the same against Vardy. James being back will give us more forward play even if Gylfi was pretty decent. I'd still love to see Nkounkou on the left to give us another option going forward but it obviously isn't going to happen. Godfrey is getting by on pure effort but he's getting by so good enough I guess.

Anyway same team with James in if he's ready would be fine with me.

 

[Mkjjones]

Is it me, but having siggy in the game against chelsea was vital? If James played he wouldn't of been that defensive and leaves us more vulnerable at the back.

Dom is due a rest, big games coming thick and fast, I'd be inclined to start him on bench here, I'd put Richy up top and bring Gordon in on the left. Iceland deserves another start, if he's back to his normal self we have Hopefully a fit James or Gomez as back up.

The don't change a winning team thing has reached a crazy new level if we're leaving James out for Gylfi

Agree on DCL on the bench

James isnt fully fit, save him for Arsenal

 

[TheBigIguana]

Problem is at this point doing that is probably just tossing away any chance to win the game. I know he needs a break at some point but it might be better against a less good team.
