Match Thread Leicester V Everton Sunday 29th Oct 2017

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???

 

[Blues Harp]

We sure Koeman's gone??

 

[BlueToff]

Wow, that is a awful looking team selection.

hahah why?

 

[ijjysmith]

Which is why I upped my post count mentioning it.

I am trying to divert the lads from realising Jags and Williams together just in time for a Halloween show.

Good thinking.

Shall we look back at Oumar Niasse’s last appearance for us at the King Power?

@Connor - lash that vid up.

 

[Big_nev]

Need to defend deep today and make sure we double up on Gray and Mahrez. Beyond the front three Leicester are nothing special, fancy a Mirallas goal.

 

[BlueToff]

We sure Koeman's gone??

Two wingers.

One holding midfielder.

Rooney as a number 10.

A striker playing as a striker.

Yes mate, he's gone.

 

[captainvindaloo]

At least we have wingers. Attack is our only defence today. Steady head, lads.

 

[Tin-Tin]

who would you play instead, sig?

Yes. He was dropped because he was poor which is fine, however when his replacement is just as poor, if not worse then he deserves another chance.

Plus this isnt a short term thing with Rooney, most of us feared exactly this when he signed as he has been like this for the last 2 years.

 

[funkygibson]

Yeah I am, we need to win, and our best chance is with him playing, what's going on at the back is a different issue

Jeez what are you watching fella? Slow and lethargic in and out of possession. Look at Wednesdays game we improved to an extent in the second half but we improved massively when he was subbed. We were quicker, more incisive and created far more opportunities. Overall unsworth seems a job for the boys type of manager. Hopefully the Tuchel talks go well this week

 

[BlueToff]

Keane has a knock (I reckon).

Vlasic injured against Arsenal.

 

[abelard]

Holgate, even Rooney at CB would be better than Williams/Jagielka that didn't work last season and hasn't this.

Holgate was rinsed at CB last time we tried that

and Rooney already drops that far back anyways ; )

 

[Osamabindiesel]

hahah why?

People just looking to complain at this point. It's not my preferred, but it's miles better than we have seen.

 

[Khalekan]

Like the team and the subs bench. Shame there is no room for Vlasic but good to see Benni B on the bench.

I expect Lookman to come on at some stage, Robles replaces the Stek as number 2 and at long last the idea that Gilfi and Rooney can play together has been dropped.

The thing is, we don’t need both Beni and Schneiderlin on the bench.....one or t’ other I would have thought.

That would leave room for Vlasic, if he is fit, or for Sandro.

 

[T LEAFE]

Pickford will save us again

 

[BigBlueConk]

Am worried for today. These are quick up front, quicker than most in fact. We could get absolutely hammered here as we've got about zero goals between us.

I am relaxed about that cuz every team we play is quick up front compared to our joggers!

 

[BlueToff]

Yes. He was dropped because he was poor which is fine, however when his replacement is just as poor, if not worse then he deserves another chance.

Plus this isnt a short term thing with Rooney, most of us feared exactly this when he signed as he has been like this for the last 2 years.

Rooney is the best number 10 we have mate.
