Who?They’re just trying to create a rivalry with someone, anyone. Even after winning a title no one gives a fuck about Leicester and they can’t stand it, it’s plain to see

On Sky again Sunday. Bet they wheel out that cunt Redknapp again.
Get Harry on. Genuine respect for our club.
FIXED!Would be nice not to have that Gooner and ex-Leicester cunt Alan Smith on match commentary for a change
Get Ryan Mason
Our squad is considered to be the 3rd most valuable in the world behind barcelona and mancity. Thats why there are expectations.Yeah, I get that. But they’re desperate to say we’re not doing well enough and don’t have a deep enough squad and should be winning cups when we’re probably closer in revenue to Leicester than City or Liverpool.
Anyway, I have no idea why I brought this up. I don’t really give a shit but I’ve had a few this lunchtime and fancied a chat.
As you were. COYS.
We know what Leicester are going to do. Sit back and hope to get Vardy in with the long ball. Going to need Sanchez for this one I believe in a 4-4-2 as 5 at the back would be wasted imo.
I would like to see a 4-2-3-1 for this giving them problems from all angles. Eriksen sitting behind the striker looking to get any of the forwards in with a clever ball or two. Would be great to get an early goal for a change from recent matches to undo the oppositions game plan and open them up.
-----------------------Lloris-----------------------
Aurier----Sanchez--------------Toby-----Jan/Rose (Save Rose for Dortmund. Jan's Crossing is way more effective)
------------Sissoko---------Winks-------------
Lamela-------------Eriksen--------------Son
-----------------------Llorente------------------
Moura on the bench as he can be more effective later in games when coming on.

The Game Dissected: Safety-first approach that makes Claude Puel’s Leicester City hard to love
We'll know what to expect from them. They'll be tough to break down, they'll attempt to break quickly and then revert to slow laboured build up play when the break isn't on. The game wasn't as one sided as i'd have liked at theirs, especially the first half. We where missing Kane for most of that one as well but they have Vardy back and on the break that will make a difference. They are also very dangerous from set plays which is not good for us.
A good suggestion might be to surrender possession and try and play them at their own game, we certainly have the pace and ability to play a killer ball over the top. But, an appalling stat, Leicester have conceded within the first 12 mins of their last 5 games in a row. So they clearly can be got at early and will be nervous.
Utd did this at the weekend, stole an early goal then sat back and gave Leicester nothing to play behind. They just don't have the passing ability in the middle to hurt teams who are organised. A very Mourinho performance from OGS. I'm hoping Poch is pragmatic with Dortmund coming up and we do the same. No need to play 3 at the back either.

Trippier Sanchez Alderweireld Vertonghen

Prepare for 90 mins of vein bulging on here that one goal isn't enough.

With our midfield being weak, and sonny/moura on the wings that's a really good point. We have the players to do it.I don't know why we don't do this more often. They won the league on the counter, and we could do it too.

They’re pretty tasty from set pieces, and we aren’t. Need to defend them well and I think we’ll do them. Early goal is massive, I can’t remember the last time we got one
