Tete (RW) if he plays, looks like he could be dangerous up against Digne or Moreno. Harry Souttar (CB) is a smart addition from Stoke as he'll give them a bit more height and muscle at the back. Not sure about the full back from Copenhagen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 12 minutes ago, nick76 said: I always worry about these kind of games. It looks like it should be a comfortable home win, gets us into the top half of the table as well and at home. Leicester have only 1 point in the last five games and minus 7 goal difference and we are in a good run of form. Hopefully we don’t do the usual Villa thing and that Emery gets us a win we are all hopeful for. I’m optimistic but have a nagging feeling. We have to be competitive, first to the ball, and suffocate them.......If we stand off and let them take the initiative, it could be tricky....We need to compete, like Fulham last night, but add our guile. There was enough, in the Wolves and Leeds game, for us to be dubious, and a need to improve......The form so far has been stupendous, but we have to find consistency and that means being " at it" again. No easy games, in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pongo's Socks Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Another two weeks for Emery to have worked with the players, I'm optimistic that we'll see improvements. We need to boss that midfield as I think that's the main area where Leicester can hurt us. Win that battle and I think we can hurt them going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 it would be nice if we started playing from the off, instead of being abysmal ala wolves and leeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping we were looking at Tete as he looks good. He’ll give them something against our left hand side, regardless who plays. Our LM and CM will need to offer support. I’m going for a narrow 2:1 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Can't believe this is the first 3o'clock Saturday fixture at VP this season. How the game has changed. Still, I'm hoping we can continue the good form and put a few past these today. Come on me Babbys! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochheads twin Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Please let us win today, so Sky have to show the top 11 when they show the top "half" of the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford also losing would mean 8th. I'm getting a nose bleed just thinking about it! 2-0 Villa! OK, that's confirmed it for me. We're going to bollocks it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am much more optimistic today, although the lucky socks are still going to be worn We are a lot more tactically sound and less reliant on momentum I think. So fingers crossed.

Don't know much about Kristensen and he league season finished in November so unlikely to start with just one sub cameo in FA cup. Harry Souttar had a pretty good world cup and has similar profile to Nathan Collins so think he'll do well for them in long run and stop them conceding so much from set plays. Tete getting massively hyped on their forum but no idea about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Crucial thing for me is keeping a clean sheet. I think we’ll score, so a clean sheet means a win. Otherwise, 1-1 draw. Hopefully Dougie and Boubs will protect the back four and we’ll keep it tidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 We need to be at them from the first whistle. They’re not a confident side so we need to unsettle them early and not let them into the game. Tielemans and Barnes will become more and more problematic if we don’t present a threat of our own. I want to see us get between the lines a bit more, create space for our creative players. They’re lightweight in the middle of the pitch so we need to control the tempo. Above all, I want to see a classic home performance - rather than is playing counter football at VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Digne in for Moreno. Two keepers on the bench along with John and Jhon. Kadan Young misses out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
