Leicester City A [PL] 19:45 Thu 18th May 2017

[Dorset]

This is must win game! I want to duff over Leicester, they annoy me and they messed up our beautiful run of home wins with that silly draw back in October - or whenever it was, everyone knows I'm rubbish at dates and times.

That record points haul keeps getting bigger and bigger!

 

[Don Diaz]

Further excellence from @Dorset after an excellent day, moving straight onto the next game with an immediate match thread. From a season last year when everyone except us joined the Leicester love in, and then it seems it went to the players heads and they got rid of last years hero Ranieri.

Well I didn't like Leicester in the shape of Vardy and his cronies last year and I like them even less this year. Problem is judging by the game against City yesterday they've started playing well, and I'd forgive our lads if they weren't 100% at it.

Hopefully that won't be the case and they go full tilt at this mob, I'd love to beat them and get Harry that golden boot in the process. This could be a very open game...I think 3-2 to us. Harry 2 and Eriksen - our player of the year. Good luck lads, COYS

MIND THE GAP

Could be a big ask for the lads to get up for this one on the back of a pretty emotional weekend. Having said that would love it if we absolutely put these pricks in their place. Interested to see what we do with both RBs missing and would love to see Vincent get some game time. Pretty sure Harry will be having a crack at goal at every opportunity as he tries to nail the golden boot.
I fancy we'll turn them over tho but maybe only just.

 

[Havocc]

Hope we ruin them. Thinking their big time Charlie's after a fluke season.

They will be back in the championship soon.

 

[Chavhater01]

They're without Huth, Morgan, Drinkwater and King. Even after the emotions of the w/e, I expect us to win this. Poch will not let them rest on their laurels, especially after how the end of last season went. However they're back playing some alright stuff and our away performances haven't always mirrored our home ones, but I feel this could be quite an open end of season game, with our overall quality shining thru.

 

[skiathospurs]

If we get a point,we will have the same points they won the title with last year.

From the official site:

Kyle Walker
Ankle


Minor problem, Kyle will not be available to play against Leicester.

A conspiracy theorist might suggest he's on his way out? more urgently who will be playing right full/wing back?

Should be an interesting line up. Dembele is carrying an injury so is likely to be on the bench so I guess that only leaves Dier and Wanyama for midfield.

 

[Don Diaz]

Let's play guess the team?

Lloris
Dier Alderweireld Vertonghen Davies
Wanyama, Sissoko
Son, Dele, Eriksen
Kane

Marcus Edwards on the bench?

Son Wanyama, Sissoko
Dele, Eriksen
Kane

Edit: Damn it! Son as RWB/RW a kind of hybrid 352/442
Double edit: yeh that's complete bollox, how can I have 352 with those players dingus! 433? Oh what ever we'll see in a few hours anyway COYS!​

21-year-old Filip Lesniak and 18-year-old Samuel Shashoua are involved for the first time and start on the bench at the King Power. #COYS

 

[Chavhater01]

C'mon then Sissoko, here's your stage, show us why we paid £30 mill for ya!

 

[Finchbee]

Son could have had a hatrick

Sonny's goal means three different players have scored 20+ goals in a season for the first time in our history! #COYS

[Don Diaz]

I know I'm a bit biased but Dele and the boys are taking the piss....we could be 4 or 5 nil up. It's bloody fantastic to watch and I admire our passion, especially that of Poch.

Great suppprt as well. Keep going I'd love to really smash this lot Vardy and his cronies

 

[Finchbee]

He could have had 22! Been like an exhibition match could be 5 up! Been really good! Even sissoko is doing well

 

[Motspur Hotspur]

C'mon then Sissoko, here's your stage, show us why we paid £30 mill for ya!

He looks like he's been sent to Coventry mate, complete stranger out there. I hope he can show something of the player we saw in the Euros but a touch like a dead haddock isn't going to help. He probably needs a goal to get some confidence back.

I know as a Spurs fan we should always try and look in the good in our players but he is just flat out toilet! You can see he's so short of confidence, he has the touch of a rapist and his passing not much better.

I thought he was a big powerful runner, we've seen nothing of that, if your struggling for confidence then utilise what you can do, I wanna see him bomb down that right side a la Kyle.

 

[Dorset]

Great first half performance, total domination, there is just one thing, Sissoko. I always try to find a positive and I don't like slagging players off, but I just can't find that glimmer of hope with him. He looks lazy to me, not arsed, maybe I'm wrong but while all the others are working their socks off he just seems to be standing on the wing waiting for the ball, and he lets attackers run past him without any effort to stop them. Am I missing something that others are seeing, I hope so.

I dont agree, playing in an unusual position, think hes done ok
