Oh Kane will score for certain, but I can see us getting at their defence. Should be a good game and a real gauge as to where we are as a club
Oh that would be good! Though if n'jie plays it would be his debut and probably his only decent appearance of the season!
Hmmmmmm...... Was thinking the same but would be unfair on kings & Drinks........ Perhaps see how things are going after 30 mins or so ?
It's a tough one. After the great start we have made, if CR changes the side and we lose, he will get hammered.....if he keeps the same side and we lose people will moan that he didn't make changes to handle a good Spurs team.but that's why he earns the big bucks to make these big decisions, I'd be brave and stick with the same team. Everyone has earned the right to keep the shirt going on the fist two games, you could ask no more of them. We are an exciting team to watch right now. I'm looking forward to the game .
Yeah I say keep with the team - look good and a great understanding - but don't be afraid to make changes early into the second half. I wouldn't be too surprised to see him put Benaloune in at the back - that woud give us more rotation options like he said he wanted and he seems to like him - but I think the balance that de laet gives us is a little underrated.
I would say stick with a winning team too. We will be seeing GI come on though (if he´s allowed to play) in the 2nd half, but saying that if we are 1 down would you bring on a DEF MID ? Any way I think we can get some thing out of this game, we´re at home & on a high. All we need to do is have a right go at um. "UTF"
If we were 1 down and looking in danger of going 2 down then yes, I would definitely bring on a defensive midfielder. Stop the danger of that happening first and then look to get back in the game. Better to do that when only 1 behind rather than 2.
Schmeichel, De Laet, Huth, Morgan, Schlupp, Albrighton, Drinkwater, King, Mahrez, Okazaki, Vardy. Subs: Schwarzer, Kanté, Kramarić, Ulloa, Fuchs, Benalouane, Inler. Unchanged as many expected.
1-1 draw. Would have taken a point before the game, so pretty happy with that. Keeps the unbeaten run going. Bournemouth next!
A point good enough to put us back on top (where we belong ) Seriously, a good point today v Spurs what with going 1 down & all that. Kick on v B´mouth, but watch um they can score goals.
Yep a fair result today. A very decent Spurs side and the weather dictated the tempo of the game and did not allow us to play how we have in our first two games with high pressing. If we had the players would have been dead on their feet after 30 mins. Another superb goal from Mahrez. And he should have had a penalty in the first half. Another point though and undefeated in 3. Nice to see more of Kante and you can just see the quality in Inler already in his brief cameo appearance. Good to be a Leicester fan right now
1-1 against Spurs and i'm left feeling dissapointed just shows how far we've come in 3/4 years. Should have won that. Clear penalty.
Only saw the highlights on MOTD so just a couple of questions. Was Schlupp at fault for the Spurs goal? He didn't seem to have any idea who was behind him when the cross came in. Is Fuchs a better defender? And secondly, although Mahrez's goal was undeniably a great effort and he can cause defences lots of problems and draw penalties (Catermole and yesterday it should have been Vertonghen), does he need to work on setting up team mates in better positions? Just a question, as I didn't see the whole game.
Watch their goal again and you will see that 3 or 4 players were drawn towards the ball. Wes was muscled out when the cross came in. Huth missed his tackle. I cant blame one person for their goal - it was just really weak defending by the whole defence.
I'd say schlupp could have done better, but I don't think that he could be blamed. Mahrez is outstanding and one of the few wingers who can go either way. I did fee however that from about 70 minutes onwards the game was screaming out for ulloas presence up top so that was a little disappointing not to see him come on
