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

[Ring master]

I get that they are 1 game away from a suspension but was just saying that any suspension would only apply to the premier league and they wouldn't miss the quarter final of the league cup if that was the game after they picked up the 5th yellow in the premier league.

Yep.If the official page is right and cant see why it would be wrong the 19 games cut off point for 5 yellows would take us to Jan 12th [wolves 19th league game] and not the usual date of Boxing day/close by, whatever way its Everton and we are going to have to be so lucky to not have either of them banned for 1 game soon lol gives all the info on that link i give what happens etc with bookings

 

[Mkjjones]

Hopefully Gbamins back before Allan gets his next yellow to keep that defensive balance we’ve just unlocked.

 

[blue to the bone]

Yep Allan/Doucouré 1 Yellow away from 1 game ban

Cut off point [Inclusive] for Bans from the official page

5 Yellows, 19 Premier League Matches = 1 match
10 Yellows , 32 Premier League Matches = 2 matches
15 Yellows, Last day of the same playing season = 3 Matches
20 Yellows, As determined by a regulatory Commission

It must be different for red cards so.
Good news

This would be a huge win

Strengthen our pursuit of Europe.

I believe we can do it.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I remember Sigs scoring a blammo against these once, therefore I am going for a 0-6 win for us and Siggy to both score and assist all 6.

 

[blue to the bone]

A draw here and beat Arsenal would be a good weeks work

 

[TheBigIguana]

I would use James sparingly anyway. To get hold of a game you need to win the ball and press, he can do neither. He would always start on the bench for me and then see how it goes.

We're going to start Gylfi Sigurdsson over James Rodriguez because of pressing ability.

Our fans really are amazing.

1 game is all it took.

James actually defends better than Siggy

And is MILES better offensively

That phrase, ‘you dersevre what you get’ comes to mind. Shocking isn’t it...

 

[steven]

Same team for me, replacing Sigurdsson with James if fit - James playing central with options either side would be great...

I agree. People saying save players for the game against Arsenal but surely its better to be beating teams who are rivals for a European place?
I know there isn't really such a thing but a "6 pointer."

A, I did not say who should start in front of him

B, James is incredibly talented but there are things he does not do which are quite important as the game is played today. If we can put out a team that does not rely upon him to contribute in the pressing/defensive aspect of the game then great. At the moment our first choice fullbacks are not available so our back line is more static than usual and will lend less support higher up the pitch. Yep, I am prone to go for the safer option until we see how a game is going.

 

[Verbal Kint]

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.

Against lesser teams?? Have you not seen our results against lesser teams, we definitely need Dom against teams that sit back.

The safer option is...?

I just want to be sure I'm fully understanding what you're saying before I react negatively.

We need Dom in every game.
