Looking forward to seeing our normal CM double pivot of Jorginho Kovacic again. Think this could make a big difference for us next game.

Has Azpi ever played as CB in a back 4? Unfortunately most of our CBs are best suited to a back 3, will make it more difficult to transition away from it in the future. Have a feeling we might play Cucurella at LCB this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times the ball was whipped into the box for him to be running towards the corner flag has been mind blowing in terms of stupidity. blahblahblah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Curious to see what midfield Tuchel goes with now that Kova is fit. Since both Jorginho and Gallagher struggled so much against Leeds I wonder which of the two he decides to drop. I would guess Conor. With Leicester in terrible form and potentially missing some big, key players I think we should expect them to go for a very defensive setup to just try to stop the rot. They just need points on the board to steady things and may play for a draw. So for me I pray we don’t waste Reece at CB again. We’ll need his attacking play against what may be a parked bus.

If you noticed against spurs he played as a cb but when attacking we just left silva and kk at the back and he was forward alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegenTerry 273 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Hopefully Kovacic and Broja are fit enough for first team. Add Gallagher and we should be fine. Leeds was warning, better at the beggining of the season than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,994 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Tuchel says Kova is only ready for very limited minutes so he almost certainly won’t start. Since Gallagher and Jorginho was so disastrous against Leeds I wonder what Tuchel does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Gallagher and Jorginho was so disastrous against Leeds I wonder what Tuchel does. I can see Loftus-Cheek getting moved into the midfield. Have a feeling with Koulibaly out that we may go: Reece RWB, Azpi or Chalobah RCB, Silva CCB, Cucurella LCB, Chilwell LWB Jorginho and RLC in midfield and then three in attack. Be interesting to see if he changes any of these as Havertz doesn't look like scoring at the moment and Mount has started the season in poor form. Maybe a Broja or Pulisic could just freshen up that trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,823 Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 We should keep Trevoh, with two CB over 30, he could be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 The Leicester XI is really, really poor looking. No Maddison at all, Ndidi on the bench, Soyuncu on the bench, Fofana not in the team for obvious reasons. Absolutely ZERO excuses for anything less than 3 points at home here. Especially after that horror show in Leeds. But as shit as their team looks, they may try to catch us out by pressing all over the pitch. We better be ready.
