The result is important ,but the performance is more important.The players have got to show they are up for it and are willing to roll there sleeves up.

Not feeling positive about the game at all. Think we may lose 2-1 and I've never backed against us at home but we are struggling at the moment. I think we need Walters and Johnson back to give the team a bit of inner strength.

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?? Wilson or Wollscheid into the backline and move Cameron into midfield. Take Van Ginkel out of the firing line for a few weeks.

Butland Teix-Woll-Muni-Pieters Arnie-Ireland-Shaq Crouch-Walters Teix!!!! He shouldn't be anywhere near the club never mind the first team mate. He's had shockers in the u21 squad.

Need to get some pace up against Huth. Can't mate, he's unstoppable. Nothing gets past him.

I just hope we get the rub of the green bar Norwich I don't think we've had much luck yet. No early bookings or silly red cards and I fancy us. Leicester are not a team of world beaters what they are are a team high on confidence who work hard. That can get you a long way. There defence can be got at but I bet they're rubbing there hands at ours.

Butland Teix-Woll-Muni-Pieters Johnson-Arnie-Ireland-Shaq Crouch-Walters I thought nothing could be worse than last Saturday until I saw this! Putting in Johnson at RB or even RW would make the numbers add up to 11, but it would still be fairly awful.
I'd go with
Butland
Johnson Wilson Muniesa Pieters
Cameron Whelan
Shaq Ireland or Bojan Arnie
Diouf
Subs: Given, Bardsley (Shudder), Wolly (Double Shudder), Ireland or Bojan, Van Ginkel (Shudder), Crouch, Walters

Fearful of this one. Leicester have pace aplenty and our defenders all seem a little wooden-footed. So, what to do? Do we have any nimble, good to average youngsters to do the chasing at the back? Or, do we go for a five man forward line in the hope that we score more than they do? Not an easy game as some on here seem to think.

Leicester are a decent side, I wouldn't be too unhappy with a point considering how shite we are but 4 points from the home games is a must!

Keep a clean sheet Saturday and we will win. Huth might be great in the air as is Morgan but get our best twisty turny players on and go for the jugular. So Shak,Bojan,and Diouf do your stuff.
Just for fucks sake defend set pieces and give away as few corners and freekicks away as possible.

Villa managed it twice. I think we should target Huth, exposing his lack of pace. You'd be wasting your time as the two centre backs will sit quite deep. Pretty much all the joy people have against us is down out right hand side. De Laet is struggling and he's not exactly well protected by Mahrez. We're routinely targeted down that side and I'd imagine you will do as well. Huth has been Huth, solid. The only problems he's having are down to that right hand side as he's being dragged out wider than he probably wants to go to try and sort out the mess De Laet gets himself in every 5 seconds. I can see us playing a 4231 that we switched to against Villa. Kante and Drinkwater in the middle. Dyer and Albrighton wide and Mahrez behind Vardy in a free Role.

Drove past the Brit earlier, and I did realise - Saturday will be quite difficult, and far from a dead-cert win.
However, I'm looking forward to what promises to be a great game of football. Hope both sides bring their A-game on Sat.

Hope both sides bring their A-game on Sat. Away from home we're nothing compared to what we're like at home. We have tended to sit back much more and just concede possession. It's not really our style though to sit back, we tend to look better once we go behind and decide to open up and start attacking. It could be an absolute shocker of a game if we sit back again and you don't score early.

Very interesting to hear - depends which of our attacks turns up this Saturday (the clinical/fluid kind, or the misfiring/sluggish kind). Do you reckon you'll set up like last year (hoping for some good counterattacks + a hopeful goal)?

I'd go for: Butland Johnson Wilson Muniesa Pieters Cameron Whelan Shaqiri Ireland Arnautovic Diouf Subs: Given, Wolly, Bojan, Walters, Crouch, Joselu, Van Ginkle I think for most of us this is the best line up we can have on Saturday, me and my Dad agree so it must be right!! It has balance, a bit more presence with Geoffrey, and sees Mame up front where he belongs. Its the tried and tested 4231. The only possible change for me is to have SJW on the right if Johnson plays, they seemed to have a decent understanding and Johnson is an attacking threat for which John will cover. I don't see this as negative, quite the opposite in fact. That would mean Arnie dropping to the bench for me, again not a bad thing, he seems to take the game on more when he comes on as sub! Anyhow, what the fuck do we know, bet he plays MVG

I hope to have my faith rewarded on Saturday Yes I agree mate, I do believe there is a player in there but he's not upto speed yet, and its maybe time for him to be benched for a game or two. I don't think Geoffrey is our final answer, but maybe the best option we have in this instance?

Very interesting to hear - depends which of our attacks turns up this Saturday (the clinical/fluid kind, or the misfiring/sluggish kind). Do you reckon you'll set up like last year (hoping for some good counterattacks + a hopeful goal)? Yeah Leicester fan!! (booo hiss) That seems to be how we are setting up away from home. Even against Spurs and Villa at home we tended to drop very deep (until we conceded), even the strikers sitting almost in our own half. We'd then just let the oppo have the ball and knock it about their own area. Spurs and Bournemouth both had massive amounts of possession, but little came of it due to most of it being away from our goal. Problem is... Our full backs are Schlupp, who was a striker not so long ago, and De Laet. They both have clangers in them so sitting back doesn't work as we end up gifting a goal at some point. Then we fly out of the blocks and attack like mad men. We might learn that attack from the start is our best bet currently! I think it will be a better game than last season at yours, we were terrible until Cambiasso came on. I think our squad is much better than when we played then, so we should have a bit more quality. We're still not keeping possession very well. But much of that is down to how we play. We play quick ball into space for runners, rather than pass, pass pass.

I always wonder why people put the timings of the subs on, what if Ireland is having a stormer, or any of them for that matter.
