[Archived] GAME THREAD - Leicester City Home 12/13

[The Dart]

I see it being 0-2 today. Complete disarray and shambles.

[T.J.Newton]

i actually like the look of this team more than midweeks, its still as others are pointing out not our best team with players like simon and rochina not getting a look in, bruno looked pretty lively in his cameo against hull(orr just hugged the line the entire game waiting for the ball to come to him), gomes starting is a no brainer with our lack of experianced fit forwards, edhino is an unknown but im interested to see him play-cant slate him if you havnt seen him play(where as with goodwillie you know what to expect!, Pedersen and olson(playing at LB) are my biggest peaves.(not that team selections matter much with keans Anti-Tactics)

im going 1-3 Leicester,(simply due to the fact Leicester are a reasonable championship team and we have Kean as a manager)

[Silencio]

And why does he continually play 4-4-2 when we have no pace and he spent the whole of the last 18 months buying players who play off a striker?

That's a great question.

[The Prof.]

Bilajil has picked this team!

Bet it won't be asked in the post-match Press Conference, though!

[Mullionvagrant]

Well we haven't got a striker whose not injured to play up front in a holding compacity whose not on crutches (Best etc)... Gomes certainly isn't in that mould and goodwillie ha ha..so even if he was able to pick a team he'd struggle to produce that one....

[Silencio]

No, I'm sure it won't. I remember when we were playing 4-3-3 in the Championship under Souness with Jansen coming in from the right and Duff on the left. It helped Jansen make up for his lack of pace and play close to goal. We don't have players as good as that but the players we have would suit that system much better if we got a decent centre forward in. Simon and Rochina either side for me...

[Tom]

No gally for Leicester from what I can see

[Puffsan]

Ribeiro striker WTF

[RibbleValleyRover]

Looks like Kean is taking the 'Rotation Rafa' concept to a whole new level. If it works then he will take the plaudits, however history has shown more often than not that chopping and changing a side every week doesn't work.

[Rovermatt]

I'm watching a broadcast with a comedy Geordie summariser. I suspect that'll be the highlight.

His American colleague is already playing the Kean sympathy card. Clueless.

[Paul]

Smaller crowd than Wednesday. Without the Leicester support definetley less than 10000

[Salgado Is A Hero]

It's like watching Boston Goals on Soccer AM.

Ribeiro striker WTF

Say what?

[OJRovers]

Lowe picked on the right wing ahead of Rochina, Formica, Vuckevic, Nunes...unbelievable

Leicester all over us, should've scored.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Robbo stops Rovers from going 1-0 down.

[RoverScot]

Should be 1-0 to Leicester - great save from Robbo. Jason Lowe is not a right sided midfield player.

[Hasta]

First 14 minutes reminds me of Tottenham away last year. Great save by Robbo though.

[Doug]

Is it on Radio?

[Waggy76]

Kean Out !

[Uxbridge rover]

Looking awful. Edinho gassing after 10 mins.

[philipl]

Great save by Robbo at empty Ewood

[dew22]

Our play is disgusting!

[OJRovers]

Terrible terrible first 21 mins! No attacking threat whatsoever.
