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

[Bullens Rd]

OLSEN!?

He's clearly trying to stir up a Scandinavian rivalry between him and Schmeichel. Mind games.

 

[GwladysBlue]

I think Pickford must be carrying a knock. He looked like he hurt his hip against Chelsea.

 

[JMT]

Oh wow. I'm not even going to pretend to try and understand why now but well in Carlo.

Pickford will be promised he's starting vs Arsenal, Don't get too happy.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Shows what I know about Olsen.

Never thought he'd get a game unless Pickford was injured.

Actually - he did have a knock in the last game didn't he?

 

[JMT]

Leicester gone very attacking, Under/Maddison/Barnes/Vardy, Will have to be solid as we were against Chelsea.

Olsen was going to start a game or so over xmas i thought, always believed that with so many games so quickly

 

[ToffeeTim]

Pickford definitely got a knock in the last game when he slipped before clearing a backpass. I assume that's the reason, because otherwise it makes zero sense.

 

[Mikey O]

I like it - if you're not 100% then you don't play

Yeah but he’s on the bench, he’s either fit or he’s not.

It’s rotation for sure.

 

[DanB90]

Surprised at the timing of Olsens start.
Thought Pickford had his best game for us in ages against Chelsea.

Edit: forgot he seemed to pull up at one point against Chelsea and looked uncomfortable.

Pickford will be promised he's starting vs Arsenal, Don't get too happy.

I'm sure he will but whatever, every game we don't play him is a positive.

 

[kenada_blue]

Ooof. Pickford dropped

 

[blue to the bone]

Attack minded line up from Leicester.
Set up for us to hit them on the counter.
Both teams will score here i think.

Not really mate, can be a strain or whatever.

Especially with 'keepers.
