So they'll likely sit deep? Oh dear.

Those two are their two holding midfielders aren’t they? So hopefully they won’t be as effective in doing that?

They signed a Skipp rat in the summer.

Gonna be in Peter Dillons in New York watching this is anyone wants to grab a couple of pints drop me a message. :thup:

 

Think we'll smash these but as I've said already beating these and Ipswich doesn't alleviate my current concerns, it's the team's in the middle of the table that we need to be putting away too.

Huge game for Howe this, Leicester will be up for it with Ruud as manager and they’ll hope the game and crowd becomes nervy. You have to think they’ll set up defensively knowing our creative frailties. Who knows what nufc will turn up. Howe, team and fans need a solid win.

If we can finally go ahead for once.  Then I'd fancy us to win comfortably. 

 

If it stays tight or we go behind yet again.  The crowd, players and Howe will all get twitchy and start to feel the pressure.  With the amount of lax defending we've seen this season, then who knows.  

 

Not even going to try and predict the team.  As Howe doesn't seem to know his best XI or the positions for some of them and I'm not sure I do :lol: But I think it will probably be the same as Saturday.  With Tonali and Gordon back in.  

 

Joelinton looks fucked and might be the sort of game it wouldn't hurt too much for him to miss out.  Just not sure what the alternative is, assuming Willock is still out?  Longstaff as the LCM?  Bruno to play LCM and Longstaff right?  A wildcard and Miley suddenly returns?

A good, confident display with possession of the ball would go a mile right now. Unfortunately Leicester is the type of opponent that tend to expose how badly coached we look at the moment.

 

They will let us see plenty of the ball so expect a poor performance as we usually are when allowed possession, but if we can manage to go ahead early enough we should do okay.

Would like to see the below change for this game, Isak in a left position with Wilson through the middle, Trippier back in the shore up defence a bit but I think it would be Hall that is sacrificed with Tino at LB. Drop Joelinton. 

           

                Pope

 

Tippier  Schar Burn Hall

 

    Sandro Bruno Willock 

 

    Gordon Wilson Isak
