Match Thread Leicester V Everton Sunday 29th Oct 2017

Gonna be a tough game, bound to be a little entertaining too, with two teams in very similar off-pitch situations.

Let's see if the players are aware of what it means to keep a clean sheet at least.

Quite a while since we have had a 0-0 ? Would be something to build on.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Nothing would surprise me. Fingers crossed.

The Foxes have got their new manager in place so lot of pressure there for him and for Unsy.

More pressure on Leicester I would say not only are they the home team but there manager is a permanent signing and I do wonder if their players are impressed by him, nevertheless I look on them as a Jekyll and Hyde team when they get it right they can punish you, hopefully we can contain them, keep their crowd quiet and score a couple of goals along the way.

a scrappy win will do, just need something..anything!

I think Gueye back? reading on FB that MvCarthy injured again??? surely not!

I believe Unsy picked Williams over Keane (Chelsea game) to take a bit of heat of the young lad.
It can not be easy having to play next to a clunker every game, whether it is Jags or Williams.
IF we had some serious options I am convinced neither Jags or Williams would be near the starting 11 anymore.
Was always going to be tough midweek and I think Unsy got it dead right leaving Keane out.
We need points in the league more than we do trying to reduce Chelsea goals in a cup we would not win.

Our defence is incapable of defending a high line or when dropping deep.
Would have Gana in front of them and pretty much stay there.
The rest will have to run around a lot.

Leicester wingers will target our full backs whoever plays (too young, too old, just not very good) and Vardy will win a footrace against the centre backs. They have the advantages in that third.

So it comes sown to our teamwork and that needs to be bang on to get a good result.

Are u saying we will be bottom by Christmas?

That Christmas cancelled then.

As everybody knows, we haven't got a centre forward! Moshiri/Walsh/Koeman couldn't attract Giroud or anybody else to replace Lukaku.

We may have changed our manager but we will struggle until we can change our squad too. January seems a long, long time ahead. Who do you think will be willing to come here then?

Big world out there mate, will have to spread the net further.

Pickford
Keane Jagielka Holgate
Lennon Baines
Gana Davies
Sigurdsson Mirallas
Rooney
​

Would go for that myself. Mirallas swapping with Rooney and Siggurdson just able to float about up top.

The idea of Lennon as a wing back makes a lot of sense to me.

​

 

[Milkman]

I'm more worried about Mahrez up against Baines. He's been badly off the pace for the past two seasons and Mahrez is coming into some good form. Could be ugly.

 

[Niapper]

Pickford
Kenny Keane Schneiderlin Baines
Davies Gueye Klaassen
Vlasic DCL Mirallas

No Matter, cos hes still at Utd.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

For me results matter. Seeing nobody else knows how to shoot or head accuratly Niasse and Rooney has to be first choice until someone else gets the knack of scoring. Three pointers are Unsworth's reckoning to dodge relegation.

Our squad is good enough for top half of the table...
