    It's the Monday evening game.

    Same team, we've got no-one else.

    Shambles.

    Good to see Rice, Soucek and Coufal getting 90 mins, all 3 needed the minutes

    Same XI....as buffy says...because we haven't got anything else...

    Surely because you don’t change a winning side at this stage if the season. They were rusty but grew into the game. It never felt, to me anyway, that we were out of the game and were the most likely winners.
  • alderzalderz
    Yeah I wouldn't change the side at all, personally. It would be nice to have some new bodies on the bench if possible, but I wouldn't change the starting XI.

    If there was a change to make I think it would be Diop in for Dawson, but I also think that Leicester will try to dominate possession, and Dawson is better suited to that kind of defending.

    Dawson & Ogbonna v Vardy & Daka, that should be interesting. 😬
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    5 at the back maybe

    It wouldn’t surprise me at all

    Well, they’ll only play one of them.

    And it was definitely interesting last season when we beat them in both games, scoring 6 in the process.

    Benrahma suffers in a back 5, so I’d be concerned about that when he was so dangerous today.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    As Jorderz mentioned, they normally play one up top. Guess it'll depend how injured Maddison is. Even if they decide on two because of that, Ian Nacho will be in front of Daka (he'll replace Vardy when we're 2-0 up)

    Ian Nacho? Is he their new Mexican striker?

    Yes, the English translation of Iheanacho from the Nigerian English dialect ;) (yes, it wasn't an auto correct :) )

    Fair prediction IMO ..
    Considering who it’s from.

    I think quite a nice feature on a match thread would be to look at a combined best 11 of both sides (players available for this game, so not including injuries who won’t play), which maybe gives you an accurate idea of the outcome of the match & who is favourite etc. One condition is you have to pick a player, you can’t do an = & pick both.

    Schmeichel
    Pereira - Söyüncü - Ogbonna - Cresswell
    Rice - Tielemans
    Fornals - Maddison - Barnes
    Antonio

    West Ham 5-6 Leicester

    Couple of real tough ones in there; Schmeichel v Fabianski is basically level, Tielemans v Soućek is very tight. Benrahma/Bowen v Maddison/Barnes is also very tight.

    Leicester slight favourites?
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    And not even a mention of Vardy 😜
  • LukerzLukerz
    Nah, I think Antonio & Vardy (both fully fit & on current form) are in different postcodes
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Maddison went off after an hour with a back injury last weekend, still no word whether its serious or not

    He was replaced by new boy Boubakary Soumare but Kelechi Iheanacho is another option

    Moyes is over 20 minutes late for his presser. Do you think he's been sacked? 😂
  • stevesteve

  • IronHerbIronHerb
