    Varde is the one player that will never be in anyones pocket, his movement and speed is too much for cbs to keep tabs on him. Very similar to the the problems that Mane causes other teams. Both players have the freedom to roam, whereas defenders need to stay put. We really need to win the midfield and exploit their slow cbs

    If you're interested, we'll probably play this;

    Schmeichel
    Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs
    Mahrez Drinkwater Kante Schlupp
    Okazaki
    Vardy​

    or;

    Schmeichel
    Simpson Huth Morgan Fuchs
    Albrighton Drinkwater Kante Schlupp
    Mahrez
    Vardy​

    I see Dyer may be back in contention. Odds please that he comes on as a sub and is reminded of his criminal past?

    Crazy how big a game against Leicester has suddenly become. Not complaining, just commenting. We can struggle against quick counter-attacking teams (Everton spring to mind) and I'd take 0-0 now!

    We play better against teams that come out to play...the top sides always try to home and away, but below that level a certain caginess sets in in the away side. Early goal for Saints will make Leicester really chase the game, then we may see the best of both sides.

    I suggested we may find it hard to keep Vardy out for the whole 90, but hopefully our attack will be to strong for your defence. I like Leic, swans, and Ever, as I consider these teams to be similar aspiring clubs. But still
    3-1 Saints

    Big test for Cedric against pace. Our full backs will need to be covered when they push forward as Leicester's main focus on attacks is the long ball down the channels in the spaces they've left. That's why I think we definitely need Davis to be wide right to start with

    Seems Greece's loss was our and ultimately Liecester's gain?

    Clasie will likely move into the Davis role eventually I suspect.

    Just rewatched the Chelsea game to get in the mood. :) 3-1 used to be our favourite score, but a 2-0 (nice clean sheet) will do. My last game was Everton :(, so I'm due a win.:emoticon-0148-yes:
