Shawcross is a doubt. Ankle ligaments I think. Seriously ? You can't just casually ping in catastrophic news like that in a casual fashion buried in some unrelated thread, I need to be seated first! Ligaments are usually very bad news, no blood supply so take forever to heal

We’re all expecting a loss at Leicester, and to be honest - who can blame us?
We should play 2 banks of 4, just like Pulis would and come home with at least a point. Make it impossible for them to get in behind and just park the bastard bus. That’s the best we can hope for at the moment, so just use what we’ve got.

Play deeper would be nice.
We always play high vs Vardy.
It's always stupid.

Sitting deep Pulis style and letting them come on to us would suit us down to the ground. Make them play infront and try and hit them on the counter with N’Diaye breaking out. I doubt McPaul will have the intelligence to do this though.

Is there any truth in this Ryan injury rumour anyone? If so I’m not sure about inviting them on unless BMI just got a whole lot fitter.

Point is not good enough now, we are at a stage where we could win this game and remain in the bottom 3 and we have far harder matches to come after this one. Need to put some energy in mid, Cam if fit, Badou, Allen and let Shaq/Choupo concentrate on getting forward and just give it a go, while we are at it let the lad who is banging them in for the U23s have a go up front - we really do have feck all to lose.
Sadly I am guessing Adam and Fletcher will have big parts to play in the game and he will be asking the likes of Choupo/Shaq to track back etc - all disasters waiting to happen from a defensive perspective

You always want a packed defence whatever else is happening. But the whole parking the bus at the expense of everything else very rarely works.

We don't need to park the bus against Leicester. If we do we will probably lose anyway. We should look to attack them and put them off their game and hopefully exploit their weakness defending set pieces.

It's okay if you want to present yourself as a loser, but speak for yourself only. Your majestic 'we' doesn't apply to all. I go into every game at least with the hope but usually with the belief that we will do ourselves proud and take the three points. This season has obviously not been rewarding in that sense, but it doesn't change my mind. Moreover Leicester is beatable as are the other ten teams in our schedule!

Go gung ho and we leave ourselves massively open to being picked off by Vardy, Mahrez etc on break. Sitting deep is more sensible against them.

Leicester have a very good front three.
Vardy, Mahrez and Gray are excellent when on their A game. However, it's been shown this season that nullifying one of the three for some reason makes the other two average.
Over the rest of the pitch they dont really have much more than us.
Bauer against Gray is fine.
I think Zouma against Vardy is fine.
I'm petrified of Mahrez against Pieters. He's turned him inside out on more than one occasion and then hasn't got the pace to get back at him. This needs to be sorted.
If we can I think we have a real chance of beating them.
If we don't I feel it will be our usual two or three nil defeat
