Leicester City 2-0 Leeds Utd - Post Match Thread

[Rook]

Of course they will, it’s rare we ever meet a team having an off day, can only really think of Chelsea in the recent past.

Their keeper will also become Gordon Banks for the evening and pull off two or three world class saves.

Leicester won 1 this season and lost 7 and with a very depleted squad what better time to play them....

Leicester are without Ndidi, Jonny Evans, Caglar Soyuncu, Timothy Castagne, Ricardo Perreira, Ryan Bertrand and James Maddison.

That's a shame. Now I can't say yes, Ndidi!

[Irish Ian]

That's a shame. Now I can't say yes, Ndidi!

He is here all week!

[BlackHillsPaul]

Bloody hell Paul, i agree with your team but not the fact you'd settle for a draw.

This is absolutely must win territory, Leicester are shite and depleted what more could we ask, we don't wanna get dragged down there, it's also a massive confidence booster after Arsenal to get the team back on track and full of it going up against Fulham, we've got to be aiming for 6 points from these two or we really are struggling.

I'm being a bit pragmatic here Kenny. We need to be on at least 14 points by the World Cup break. That's averaging 1 point per game. And we know from history that if you can average a least a point per game the odds of staying up are very high. Like 90% or something. So I will take a point at Leicester if that's all we can get. A loss would be devastating psychologically I think.

I'll also say this. If we can get to 18 points by the WC break I will retract my call for Marsch to be fired. Because if we are on 18 points from 14 matches to start the season he will have exceeded my expectations of 1.25 points per game. If we are on 14 points or less his seat will get extremely hot. We were on 15 points after 14 matches under MB last season. And we all know how that ended....

Try the veal.

Tip generously.

[Irish Ian]

Dunno why but this game has the same feel as Newcastle away last season where we knew we would be miles better than them.

I read that their right winger is out so that may give Junior an easier platform to work on.

[Pullhard]

The thought of Firpo starting is a little bit scary. He is favourite with the bookies @ 13/10 to get a card so he will spend a portion of the match unable to put in a tackle if that's the case.

Firpo and Cooper in the starting 11. What could possibly go wrong?

Had a quick run through the Leicester forum - they are not optimistic and just want shut of Rodgers. A cohort would take a Leeds win if it meant he was fired.

I'd take a one nil victory with a scruffy Leeds goal in the 93rd minute with VAR ruling in our favour.

[The Subhuman]

I'd take Roca for first to be booked then Coop

So much negativity on here! Must win tonight and we will win. Leicester are woeful and nailed on for relegation as things stand. If they beat us, we are in a relegation scrap all season. Convinced we will win tonight and handsomely (though I'd take a jammy 1-0)...

Jammy one-nil will do me too. But hoping for a top performance.

Has Jesse had a breakdown. Llorente.
I mean if Struijk is fit it’s the same squad bar maybe Bamford that starts. Summerville? It’s a ballsy or stupid selection

[Chilli D]

Wow! Four changes.
Cooper, Harrison and Rodrigo all on the bench.
Wasn't expecting this.
Firpo for Struijk as expected.

[andrewjohnsmith]

[andrewjohnsmith]

Big surprise bringing Llorente back for Cooper - must be an injury

[andrewjohnsmith]

Summerville for Harrison a surprise too. But will be interesting to see what Jimmy can do with the start.

[Jaydog]

He’s on the bench so it’s tactical

[andrewjohnsmith]

[andrewjohnsmith]

I reckon its a small injury he doesn't want to risk for too many minutes. Cooper had a solid game against Arsenal.

[Jaydog]

Maybe someone more enlightened than me can explain that team selection
