The Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Leicester City

In a battle for supremacy at the summit, Manchester City welcome Leicester City to the Etihad. The Foxes are in the midst of a six-match unbeaten streak that started with their goalless draw in the reverse fixture, while the Sky Blues haven’t tasted defeat in seven outings.

Only two teams mustered more big chances (eight) over the last four Gameweeks than Leicester, who racked up seven goals during that period. It’s on the defensive end that Claudio Ranieiri’s troops were the most impressive, though, conceding the second-fewest goals (one), sixth-fewest shots inside the box (25) and fewest big chances (two).

Despite ranking third for attempts (61) and joint-fourth for goals (seven) since Gameweek 21, the Sky Blues recorded just 14 shots on target, engendering the worst shot accuracy (23%) of any team. On the flip side, Manuel Pellegrini’s men conceded just two goals and registered three clean sheets. Moreover, only two teams allowed fewer shots inside the box (24), while they placed joint-second-bottom with regards to big chances conceded (three).

            Luke Shaw should be preferred I guess or Danny Rose

            With who will you replace him? A Chelsea asset?

        Definitely.

      Kolarov MOTM?

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years

        lol - depends what the first M stands for

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 9 Years

          Mug

            Yes then

      2. Arctic monkeys

        and Kanté flop of the match.

        Think ive made my feeling about Kolarov pretty clear. Hes the weak link in that defence whenever he plays. An honor he shares whenever Demichelis plays, but nobody rates him anyway

        1. ktk_interista
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Demi is the problem

          1. TeamSteam
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            If you fail to see what a poor defender Kolarov is by BPL standards, then god save you. He cant defend 1v1, he cant position properly, his crossing and shooting are generally absysmal. The only reason people on this forum rate him is cus he sometimes scores a wondergoal and sometimes get a a brilliant assist. Fact is most of his crosses and shots turn into nothing cus he lacks quality on the final ball.

        Same 😀

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Only because Kante has an assist that he shouldn't have

      2. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        How

      3. Les Bleus
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Kante has an assist that will be removed.

      4. Ha.
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Kante still has an erroneous assist

      Top 10k, most benched

      Ighalo 17.9%
      Mahrez 17.2%

      1. Hamstergod
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        So I guess we can expect an Ighalo brace 🙂

        1. tm245
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Deeney is on the bench, so two PKs would do it.

      Another brick from Silva

    18. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Did Silva come off injured?

      1. boc610
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        nope, was just rubbish

    19. KeepCalm

      only thing that would cheer me up is a Kane hatty

      Think I might have to sell Huth. Either that or play him every week. 3rd on bench today with Alli and Walker in starting XI 🙁

    21. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I am well and truly embarrassed and disgusted in our performance. Only a matter of time before POP hops on the Leicester ship.

    22. Numb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      If Alli stays on the bench, don't bother looking at your ranks until the autosubs are in

    23. Adds04

      Hands up how benched Huth!
