trousers Posted 13 October, 2015 Share Posted 13 October, 2015 (edited) So, does the starting 11 pretty much pick itself this weekend (subject to no injuries)? Steklenberg Cedric - Fonte - DvD - Bertrand Wanyama - JWP Mane - Davis - Tadic Pelle Subs: K.Davis or Gazza, Targett or Martina, Yoshida or Caulker, [3 of 4: Romeu, Jaunmi, Clasie, Long (injured?)], JRod Edit: initially forgot Juanmi. Competition for the bench is hotting up! Edited 13 October, 2015 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biscuits Posted 13 October, 2015 Share Posted 13 October, 2015 I'm hoping this is going to be an entertaining game. Leicester have got their tails up with a great start to the season and we look like things are coming together nicely. 3-2 with an 89th minute heartbreaker from Pelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint-Armstrong Posted 15 October, 2015 Share Posted 15 October, 2015 Koeman when asked about potentially leaving Southampton for the Holland job: "No way. No possibility." Went on to say maybe in the future, but he has another year with Southampton after this current season. Criticised the make-up of the Dutch FA, saying it's 'crazy' that there is no football man on the board. Won't rule out managing Holland in future, but it depends on certain things happening in Holland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competition for the bench is hotting up!I think you are close. Steklenberg Cedric - Fonte - VvD - Bertrand Wanyama - Romeu Mane - Davis - Tadic Pelle Leicester can score goals. I think you come out defense in the back 7. And although this really only leaves 4 in-play offensive playmakers, all 4 are in really good form right now. Romeu hasn't travelled, so he should be well rested. How many more yellows for him before a suspension? 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 16 October, 2015 Share Posted 16 October, 2015 We obviously bought Clasie to be a starter, neither Romeu or JWP have nailed down a starting spot, and Clasie needs games to get up to speed.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 16 October, 2015 Share Posted 16 October, 2015 Not to discredit Leicester this season who have clearly pushed on since last season but they haven't actually beaten anyone half decent this season. Lets hope we play to our capabilities in the game and I think we should be ok. Regarding Clasie, they say never change a winning team but when VvD signed he came straight into the team off the back of a 3-0 win against Norwich so assuming Koeman rates Clasie highly we'll see who he really rates of the Davis / JWP / Romeu trio as two of them will miss out if Clasie starts (assuming Wanyama is an automatic starter).

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 16 October, 2015 Share Posted 16 October, 2015 If Clasie starts, it'll be next to Wanyama, in place of Romeu/JWP. That is what I think myself however someone on here mentioned that Clasie has also been playing in the Davis role in training which would mean any of Davis, Romeu or JWP could play next to Wanyama as well. Personally I like the sound of Wanyama, Clasie and Davis with JWP and Romeu on the bench but as we've seen this season Koeman likes to change the balance of the midfield based on the quality of the opposition and how much of the ball he expects to see so who knows. I expect us to be better on the ball than Leicester but they are very direct and very quick so how what direction he takes will be interesting to see.

JRM Posted 16 October, 2015 Share Posted 16 October, 2015 Is Mahrez a doubt for them? it would be great if he was out, but from the sound of this i think he will be fit. http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/ranieris-injury-update-dyer-mahrez-schlupp-2745395.aspx just says he got back late and didn't train, rather than mention any specific injury , Nathan Dyer is bound to score against us as well! I think this will be a really entertaining game , they seem to be full of confidence and should be out to attack us rather than sit back so i'm going for 3-2 win.

100%Red&White Posted 16 October, 2015 Share Posted 16 October, 2015 I look at a few sites but can't say I've seen anyone suggesting we're "world beaters", guess we've all got woppers that like to talk sh*te. "A quick trawl on their sites and after a 3 1 success at a poor Chelsea they are suddenly world beaters. We are a lucky side full of grafters, and our wins this season have come against poor sides, etc, etc. I think it's great to be written off before a ball is kicked hope their team is as cocky as some of their fans. It isn't going to be easy but we have nothing to fear here. Hope Mane does not do his diving act like he did at the kp last season. I am going for a 2 1 win to us for this" http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/102803-saints-away-next-early-thoughts/page-7 I'm going with the majority view, tough game between 2 decent sides.

Pamplemousse Posted 16 October, 2015 Share Posted 16 October, 2015 Leicester have played one decent team in Arsenal and they got found out massively.
