According to Chelsea programme Allen had 9 yellows before start of game so it would now be 10 one game was the league cup v Hull so don't if that counts in the league tot up.

Just had a look on the FA website and Joe Allen is NOT suspended,he's one booking away and he's our only player on 9 bookings.Obviously shows Bardsley suspended for the Leicester game

Neither of the strikers did a lot yesterday, both looked a little slow, but against Chelsea, in front of a midfield of Cameron and Allen I can't have a go really. Agree about Johnson but sticking diouf there is a risk. If only Cameron wasn't holding our midfield together I'd consider him. It is harsh but I felt like he didn't put the required effort in and that annoyed me a tad. Berahino ran around a lot more. Neither can be faulted for the lack of chances of for anything like that. I don't think it is a risk. Diouf has played there loads and on the whole this season has done it better than Johnson. Bayern,he's not played there loads though has he? He's played as a wing back granted and an emergency right back when injury during a game has required it but there's not a chance he'll play as an orthodox right back in a back four. I think Johnson will come straight back in and I don't think he's been quite as shite as you say he has. He's an experienced player who's been around the block and there are still plenty of points to play for. Experimenting is unnecessary and we have cover.

Is Ireland fit or is he still recovering from his leg break?
Johnson coming in for Bardsley is a no brainer, assuming he's fit of course.
If Shaqiri returns from international duty fit, I'd put Shaqiri in ahead of Walters or Berahino with Johnson replacing Bardsley. Failing that I'd go with Afellay or Ireland in behind Walters/Berahino.
It goes without saying that I'd start with Berahino ahead of Walters. My main point is that I'd go with one out and out forward with the other being a more creative/talented player in behind the front man but in front of our "couldn't pass water" midfield duo.

Coates will want answers if another 15 million pound signing is not playing. Hughes has to play him.

Bloody hell, Dave, do you really think we'll ever see Ireland in the First Team again? I understand what you're saying about the creativity needed but Ireland must be a long way off figuring for us, surely? Added to the fact that he's almost certainly on his way in the Summer...

Bony had 10 starts in a row before he was thrown in the wilderness, the majority of which were against lower teams, he got 2 goals. Berahino's had 2 starts with no service against 2 of the best 4 teams in the league.

It says something about the level of surgery needed in the summer that suggesting playing our centre forward as an orthodox right back is barely raising an eyebrow!

I don't think he will play for us again no. He is a player I actually quite like though and I enjoyed watching him play. He's a very intelligent footballer who could have really made a difference for us if he could ever have stayed fit. I was more wondering whether Ireland had recovered from his leg break and if, on that basis, he was available for selection.

I thought you were steadfastly against playing Shaqiri in the centre Dave?

Not at all. I simply queried whether it is simply a given that he is better centrally than wide right given that he has always played wide. You were more steadfast in your assertion that Arnie couldn't operate successfully from the right more than I was about Shaqiri being deployed centrally Joking aside, if we were to line up with Shaqiri, Arnie and Ramadan behind a striker, I'd really envisage a totally fluent, interchangeable trio who surely couldn't fail to create opportunities for a front man.

It is also worth noting that before suggesting we deploy Shaqiri centrally, I did query the whereabouts and availability of Ireland!

Match Leicester up 4-4-2 Grant Johnson Shawcross BMI Muniesa Arnie Cameron Allen Ramadan Walters Berahino subs: Given Pieters Shaqiri Adam Whelan Diouf Crouch Only change I'd make would be Muniesa for Pieters (other than the enforced Bardsley one). He's overdue a chance at left back. Muni at left back against Mahrez!? Nah.., I really don't think so!

A long way away plenty of time for more realistic thoughts, in the meantime I'm contemplating a rather funky if idealistic 352. Again. A different Foxlot than the ten man thing at our place, but still, they weren't coping too well in the initial phases. As ever the sending off created a whole new dynamic, shocking that we didn't kneel on their necks. We owe them one.

True, but his application and performances didn't help either, I don't think he should've been kicked out of the team for so long (maybe not starting but substitute appearances), but to say that Berahino still being in the team is hypocritical because of Bony's exclusion is just daft.

Not saying that. Just saying any striker will look bad with little service. Berahino would start every game for me.
