Not sure. Just got memories of last years Leicester lockdown where we had oodles of possession about 16 corners and loads of shots, did nowt. They had one attack and scored. So I'd have the big three at the back stood in a line on the edge of the box chasing down and crushing anything that approaches. Muniesa would be piggy backing and niggling Mahrez out of the match. SJW and Crouch would be fucking with Huth's head in preparation for a few Shaqiri attacks. Johnson and Arnie whipping crosses in at will. Leicester might be a different kettle of fish this year under Ranieri, but I doubt it at the Brit, they'll be trying to do us on the break, sitting back. We will need to have summat same same but different to get amongst them. the problems in that team are plenty though Youve gone for wing backs yet played on wing back and one natural winger. Youre playing a left back at center half, so in theory your ejust paying a back 4. Youre dropping/not playing our best 2 strikers and vs Huth/Morgan, Crouch/Walters wont be as useful as Diouf. If youre going for that formation, either go all our and have Shaq/Arnie on the wings in an attacking sense or Pieters/Johnson as the fullbacks and have a back 5. Also people have an obssessoin for playing Walters now just because were on a bad run. Weve all wanted a new RW to replace him for years and now we have one. I agree there are potential difficulties, but not the ones you've identified. I was initially thinking of Cameron Wollschied Wilson as the back three, and have suggested that before because it looks a better balance {on paper}, but thought the inclusion of Wollscheid might be a controversy too far, and I quite like Pieters, but wouldn't put him as true wing back in this kind of system. . So settled on GC MW EP. I reckon Wilson could cope in the middle of a three, like he's ok at CB, and has played RB. I think Arnie's defensive work is exemplary so wouldn't rule him out fulfilling that kind of role. When you say best 2 strikers I'm not fully sure who you mean? I thought Diouf was/is carrying some kind of a knock, looked a bit out of sorts on saturday. I would start with Diouf if fit enough, but he's key so I'd also afford him some protection. I'd bring him on off the bench. I'd rather see Walters integrated and used in the squad while he's here. Playing for a move not languishing. He came into the fray this time last year, clicked with Bojan and we had a bit of an upturn. For me the problem potentially in my set up would be Whelan Muniesa and Shaqiri through the middle. Would that work? That's part of the reason for having SJW in the side, dropping deep and pitching in with midfield. If needs be. So although I don't think Hughes will adopt such a system really, he has shown flexibility. Never no. I think it could work.

Leicester City have now gone nine Premier League games unbeaten, winning six, and are joint level with Manchester City as the Premier League's form team since 4 April.
Leicester have picked up 33 points from 14 matches and, with the exception of top scorers Manchester City, have scored at least 11 more goals than any other team in this period.
Blimey!!

Not bad for a team with no class players really, still we have Wolfy to combat the threat if the manager picks him.

Inler would walk into our midfield, and any Premier League midfield outside the top 4. Mahrez is a class player Okazaki is a little unproven but again, he has talent/class about him Dyer was on the verge of an England call up after playing so well for Swansea but due to Montero/Ayew hes no longer needed there. Id take him here straight away. Kramaric has potential to be a top top striker hence why Mourinho wanted him for 10m

Butland Johnson Cameron Wilson Pieters Whelan Muniesa Shaq Bojan Arnie Diouf Well that's certainly different I think that's a good team. Muniesa is a good player but he's a liability at centre back.

There's nothing wrong with the 4231 if we have the right man in the hole. Start with Ireland and bring on Bojan. Play a carrier alongside Whelan and you'll see a marked difference IMO. Your right, but who is the carrier??

Crying out for 3-5-2. Depending on the injury situation I'd put Muniesa man marking Mahrez, following him about, and pit Walters up against Huth. ---------------Jack---------------- ------Cameron Wilson Pieters-------- --Johnson Whelan Muniesa Arnautovic-- --------------Shaqiri---------------- -----------Walters Crouch----------- Spend the week doing some set piece practising, and back line drilling. Fucking hell, mate; we'd lose all our defensive solidity and get overrun in midfield!

Well that's certainly different I think that's a good team. Muniesa is a good player but he's a liability at centre back. Liability. Awful choice of word for our (current) most talented centre half.

He's a very talented player, but we need defenders who are strong, powerful and stay focussed for 90 minutes. Muniesa is none of those things (as we saw for goal on Saturday). He's a defensive liability and unfortunately he's not on his own.

probably not the best time to be playing them but,
clearly they aren't as good as their league position suggests, and we aren't as bad.
Should be interesting, we do need to stop Mahrez but we should be able to take a positive approach.
and at least we won't have TP bigging them up beforehand.

"Disagree with this. If you play the lumping it up to the lone striker type of game against Stoke they will lap it up. That's meat and drink to their way of playing and physical lads at the back."
I'm so done with the internet, people are so fucking retarded.

We need Wilson back at centre half - the other two are not leaders or organisers and he will get stuck in and hopefully guide Muni through the match. MVG is settling in, but I would add Cameron's athletic defensive qualities to give Glenn some help in there for now. Take MVG out of the firing line for a week or two, but he'll be back.
Further forward Ireland simply has to start a game to show if he can do it for 90 minutes. In the absence of Bojan (still not quite there yet, but worth the slow reintroduction from the bench), he knits our play together better than any other. What to do with Arnie and Shaq - give them both a bollocking and hope the week back with us will get them in the right frame of mind, fit and raring to go? Are Walters' more straightforward and basic qualities needed at a time like this (if he is fit)? I'd keep them both in the team for now, but be ready to bring on Jonny Ronny if either one starts to do his teapot impression once more!

We need Johnson back for this one. There attackers work very hard and will put is under a lot of pressure. We need to keep hold of the ball well and be patient.

Please not a repeat on last year hands over my eyes we were all over them then bang, the worry is our defence was better then and to rub it in there fans at the station were full of it. Come on Stoke lets get the defending right let's give butland nothing to do lets get our midfield and strikers working as a team, let's get 3 big must needed pressure on points.
