Team for FC Copenhagen

Zieler
Simpson Hernandez Huth Fuchs
Mahrez Drinkwater Amartey Albrighton
Slimani Gray​

 

No Vardy!?

 

On the bench and bring him on after 60 minutes if not going to plan.

 

You'd play a left winger who has never played as a striker in Gray as a striker?

Personally I'd play Ulloa with Slimani and just keep on firing in crosses.

 

I'd keep Schmeichel in. I think he provides confidence to the back 4, even though they're not returning the favour at the moment.

 

Yep

 

Schmeichel
Simpson
Morgan (lucky boy)
Huth
Fuchs
Mahrez
Drinkwater
Amartey
Gray
Vardy
Slimani

 

Same unchanged European side for me. They've been outstanding in it.

 

As I said on another thread, Wes and Vards have not been playing well ... Vardy has been makedly better in Europe mind ...

... biggest single concern is the lack of mobility in Wes and Huth ... I do wonder whether pairing Amartey with one of them might work ... he was playing as a central defender at Copenhagen

How about this

There must be something going on with Gray behind the scenes unless he is injured. How he hasn't even got on the bench if he's not is beyond me and worrying... He'll be handing in a transfer request if we aren't careful

 

Why - he is 19 years old and brought in as one for the future.

Should be more worried about Bartosz Kapustka who is a full international yet hasn't even been on a bench to my knowledge.

 

Leicester 1-0 Mahrez

 

We had a goal incorrectly ruled for offside by Slimani - hopefully it won't come back to haunt us...

 

Good win - performance wasn't great but win is all that matters.

 

Congrats lads, hope you get a glory tie next round

 

It is my opinion. Bart is not used to the English game whereas Demi is and has been in and around the first team a fair bit. I'm shocked he isn't picked ahead of Schlupp and although I don't use Twitter, I am told he has been writing frustrated tweets hence the opinion he is not happy.

Anyway, great win so can't complain at the team selection as it worked. Just want them to bring that intensity back to some of the leagues games

 

I had a quick look and couldn't find anything but if Gray is complaining then that doesn't say a lot about his temperament - if he wants to leave then we should get rid of someone that airs their dirty laundry in public.

 

Kingy my man of the match tonight made some great last ditch defence blocks ... cracking night ...
