Team V Southampton

Wilfred Ndidi returns from suspension but Kasper Schmeichel is a doubt

Not alot on the game for us but a win for us could all but relegate Southampton. Here is what I would go with

Schmeichel

Simpson
Maguire
Dragovic
Fuchs

Mahrez
Ndidi
Silva
Albrighton

Iheanacho
Vardy

Subs- Hamer, Morgan, Chilwell, Choudhury, Gray, Diabate, Okazaki

 

We all know he's not going to drop Morgan though!

 

He’ll play Morgan and Simpson and we’ll go behind and either scrape a draw through Vardy or go two behind and lose 2-1. It’s all we do atm barring those freak wins at West Brom and Brighton.
My bet with a Newcastle mate who’d finish higher than we made pre-season looks in serious jeopardy now

 

Morgan has contributed to us going behind in games heavily since his return from injury ... Dragovic must start soon ... surely

 

Kasper

Amartey Maguire Dragovic Chilwell

N’didi Iborra

Mahrez Gray Albrighton

Vardy

 

Yep, it’s great we have such a prolific striker in Vardy who pretty much puts every chance he gets away. Not so good that this trait is undone by the customary captain Morgan calamity!

 

Iborra is out for the season.

 

Ah yes I forgot. Straight swap for Silva then.

 

Puel has said Schmeichel and Okazaki are doubtful and its too soon for Daniel Amartey

 

If Kasper doesnt make it please for the love of god dont play Jakupovic

Stick Hamer in goal

 

I've got completely the opposite view - Hamer has been awful whenever he has been called up and should have been gotten rid of ages ago.

 

Yes but he is still better then Jakupovic

Im better then Jakupovic FFS

 

Tonight's starting XI: Hamer, Dragović, Maguire, Chilwell, Albrighton, Ndidi, Silva, Mahrez, Gray, Iheanacho, Vardy (c)

Subs: Jakupović, Simpson, Fuchs, Morgan, Choudhury, Barnes, Diabaté

Not sure about this team tbh - 3 at the back with 2 DMs but have 2 flying wingers and 2 #9s.

Have a feeling that Mahrez will be RW with Gray in the hole as well.

 

I think it’s 4 at the back with Albrighton at RB and Mahrez and Gray on the wings

 

Does seem to make more sense on reflection.

 

Can’t see him being so radical as to change the formation as well as drop Simpson and Morgan! Looks more exciting anyway

 

Finally got a working stream in English - Southampton are trying not to lose and we can't get past their bus with 5 odd min to go.

 

A big boo at full time but seems to be only from the away supporters.

All in all hopefully Dragovic impressed Puel - not sure if we have a deal in place at the end of the loan but definitely wouldn't mind seeing him here next season.

 

I thought Dragovic was excellent.

Otherwise, just the usual - without Okasaki the link from midfield to Vardy was poor

Sadly, in all his appearances so far I really don’t rate Silva
