Leicester vs Aston Villa - Pre-match Thread (August 31st)

[Paninistickers]

Crowd will turn today unless he gets a result or a creditable fighting defeat

[martyn]

Pragmatic is a kind way of describing that lineup.

[Aleksz]

I think I’ve got that right.. I’ve been sent it all a bit jumbled up. You’ll have to see in 5mins 

[Pliskin]

All the attacking talent we have is on the bench. What is Coopers problem?

[Mickyblueeyes]

What’s Vestegaard done to him now ?

Faes don't want to play on the left

I don’t want him to play there either but Jannick for all his criticisms has been our most effective defender (in both an attacking and defensive perspective) for over a year now, 

[RyCleary]

Cooper is horrific, sooner he gets sacked the better

[Paninistickers]

Vards should never ever be starting at this level. Same as Ayew. 

 

Vesty and Faes last week at Fulham looked fine, settled but the weaker link was Faes. So he drops Vesty. 

 

Mavididi - no words. Ricky, maybe not starting xi I kinda get but even so, to be ostracised is criminal. Ward a pulled muscle away form.okaying in the PL. 

 

This is grotesque.

Team is

 

Hermansen, Justin, Okoli, Faes, Kristiansen, Skipp, Ndidi, Winks, Fatawu, Vardy, Ayew

Honestly, other than his weird thing against Ricardo, what were people hoping he'd pick? He's clearly playing Ndidi as more of a box-to-box midfielder.

[ronnup]

 

Honking 11 that

[fox_favourite]

Coops has lost the plot. That team has no pace, creativity or attacking style. And can someone work out the formation? Ayew on the wing?

An attacking midfielder? You know we signed two. 

[fox_favourite]

I change me predictions to 0-8 villa.

Bilal was never going to start today so it's really down to would you rather have Buonanotte in the side or Ndidi; I don't think it's so egregious to take Wilf.

I was hoping for two of our best players last season. Vesty was the de facto captain. Mavididi has skill and pace. Both have huge confidence in themselves.

I think it's pretty logical to play at least one attacking midfielder so Buonanotte

[Bilo]

If that lineup is right, that's our first big loss of the season right there.

 

0-5 Villa.

Been confirmed on the club channels 

[Swarles Barkley]

Sign 2 attacking midfielders. Play 3 CDMs 

 

fvcking clueless

Going to stay in the game and then try and nick one in the second half 

[DeepSouthFOX]

Sitting here patiently waiting on the Match Thread FT meltdown…🤡🤡

[Bilo]

Literally the only positive is that he's dropped BDCR, who is dreadful. This could be over as a contest by half time.

[Pliskin]

If that is the team. Then what is supposed to happen between the midfield and the attack? It will only work if Ndidi is the destroyer, Skipp the driving force and winks the heartbeat. But it’s Cooper. It will be like throwing baked beans into a ninja.
