I would play Doumbia tonight. Up against Huth and Morgan Mitro could well be outmuscled pretty easily.

 

He did well against WBA's brutes.  They had 4 centre backs playing and he pretty much dominated all of them. 

 

I wouldn't actually mind seeing a bit of pace, though.  But at the same time, we need to make it stick up there, if we're going to sit deep.

Since the turn of the year, Leicester have only manage to draw against Bournemouth (H), Villa (A) and West Brom (H) whilst they only managed to beat Norwich 1-0 (H).

 

As long as Rafa can set us up right, the players do as they're told and we don't let our heads drop should they score, then a draw at least, is very possible.

Leicester aren't exactly a physical team, they pass it about well and use their pace. It would be foolish to push up from the back too much as Vardy and Mahrez et all will gang rape the back four on the counter.

 

We need to play compact and to our own pace try and let them pass through us, it wouldn't surprise me if one or two big names get dropped tonight. The problem is left back though, Colback might be the best solution but nee way he'll cope with Mahrez. I'd sooner stick Aarons in if he's fit. He's played there 3 times and been good once, shite twice.

A point would be massive, more for confidence than the actual point itself. Every game we go unbeaten from here on in will build confidence.

Mitro gets bullied far too easily like. Can see Huth and Morgan having a right laugh with him.

 

I'm not sure he'd get much joy out of Huth and Morgan, but wouldn't agree that he always gets bullied by centre halves.  It seems to very much depend on 1) the quality of service we give him and 2) his state of mind.  For example, I'd say he bullied the supposed best English central defender this season in Smalling and played well against WBA and West Ham (both of whom had pretty physical centre halves).  Definitely needs more consistency in this aspect of his game though.
