Morning all,
I’m off to the game today in the Leicester end with family who are ST holders. This will be the third time, having mixed fortunes in the previous two - the famous 5-3 defeat followed by a comfortable 3-0 win a couple of years later.
So, feeling pretty nervous about today! Leicester did well at Anfield after a slow start, let’s hope their recent poor home form continues and the crowd gets a little anxious early on!
Fully expect us to play on the counter, we just need to be solid at the back and clinical on the break like at Arsenal last week. This style seems to suit us better under Ole.
Fingers crossed we go with our best front 3 of Jesse, Rash and Martial!
Heart says win, head says score draw!
Thoughts on today’s game at Leicester?

Baily should play, deals well wit Vardy

I don’t think Ole rates Bailly that much. He seems to be a fan of Lindelof and Jones.

Two counter attacking teams. Think it's either a win or loss, no draws. If we play our front 3, we should score. But our defence can't resist counter attacks.
2-3 goals IMO. Hopefully shaded our way.

Ole needs to pick his strongest side and go for it after the Burnley result.
3-1 United

With our current approach, these away games May suit us.
Feeling confident although don’t think we’ll get top four and currently just enjoying watching the team again.

Vidic would have owned Vardy, miss him!

I would not say he does not rate him, Baily got himself stupidly red carded after having a really good game. Phil Jones always looks like an accident waiting to happen. Lindelof has improved, but for me, the guy is still nowhere near top drawer. If we get that fellaq from Napoli, Baily and Lindelof can fight for the other spot.

I would like to think Ole will revert back to his favoured and strongest side of Rashford through the middle with Lingard and fitness providing Martial either side.
I would like to see Smalling back playing soon. Perhaps today isn't the day to bring him back but he needs games with the run of fixtures we have coming up.

We don't have to play on the counter in particularly, just play good attacking football.

Won’t be an easy game but I’m confident as long as Ole gets the selection right

I think people made more of the team Ole put out against Burnley than they should've done.
He made one change that wasn't forced upon him and that was Pereira.
Martial was injured and Lingard had been suffering from an injury in the days prior to the game so Ole probably didn't want to use him for more than 20-30 minutes or unless he absolutely had to.
Somebody had the audacity to say he put out a second string side ffs.
