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

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Tough slog ahead for DCL, lot of chasing hopeful balls, bringing others into play. Need him to do an unselfish job tonight. Hopefully we’ll be able to get up and give him some support and create some chances. Bit more hopeful after the last game we’ll be solid at least.

Think there are too many games coming up not to rest one or two imo.

Chelsea
Leicester
Arsenal
Utd

All within 2 weeks - this is where failure to bring in a forward in the summer will come back to haunt us.

For me Richarlison through the middle and Gordon out wide against Leicester with DCL on the bench

Then full strength against Arsenal/Utd except James/Coleman coming in for the likes of Siggurdsson and Holgate.

Don't you think Arsenal is weaker than Leicester?

Got 1-1 written all over this.

Guess that would be a good outcome. We have something in common - both teams are very unstable in this season, but sadly I think they are sharper in the offense than we do.

Plenny of pace in our back line so really hoping it's a sit deep and counter attack job. Dom can have the ball stick to him if we can get it to him, but Richi needs to buck his ideas up here and put in a performance that yields results.

Would say pace in the full back positions mate, wouldn't say Keane and Mina are pacey.

Should win this going for 3-1 richarlison (2) and dcl

Olsen was injured , that's why he wasn't on the bench.

Saved me typing lol

Lee mason the ref , I'd be in his ear " if Leicester win they could go above liverpool " penalty on it's way.

didn’t we get tonked by someone crap in the mint this season?

Yes, third-placed Southampton. Awful team.

 

[DrEFC]

I think these are better going forward than Chelsea, we go behind and we're stuffed. 2-0 Leicester unfortunately.

Yep Southampton.

 

[Curtis]

We've gone very attacking. Not put a team like that out in the prem for a long time

Do you know if Ndidi deputized as a center back before? I rate him as a midfielder but curious on how he would handle that role.

 

[lungo]

Pickford finally gets a clean sheet in the last game then gets dropped. I hope it's because of an injury.

Circus act is out of town.

Olsen is injured? That’s quite a risk for Carlo to play him then?

By any chance was it the 0-9?

Oh god, we've not got Mason have we?
