[City Fan]

4-4-2?!

 

[Micky]

Looks good to me. Considering the availability.

 

[homer]

Brave line up, that - I like it

4-4-2?!

Looks like it to me. We always seem to list the names in a way that says how we’re lining up at the start.

 

[mabrah]

I hope that Ian Hatcher chap has a good game.

Yep, it's time for Nacho to step up and show us what he can do. Seize the moment fella.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Not sure I’ve ever seen Nacho and Vardy link well together. Who’s providing the chances to them?!

Looks pretty fluid between 4231 and 442 to me. Will always be one of iheanacho or vardy dropping deep on to partey or xhaka or to receive the ball

 

[Micky]

They have made 6 changes and look like they are trying to look after their better players. Kiss of death.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

At least we have a dynamic bench to come on and change the game when its all gone tits up

Youd hope the main routes would be:
Long ball into channel, cross from Ricardo, Barnes, Castagne or Thomas, through balll from Tielemans from half way, ball from broken play by Wilf or interplay between the two...
Those are the 4 or 5 we have seen goals from of late.....

Tielemans, Barnes, Ricardo, Castagne, Thomas

Villa away, last season?

 

[homer]

Who would you prefer to see on the bench today, given our injuries ?

 

[Jeff]

Tielemans, Barnes, Ricardo, Castagne, Thomas

And David Luiz.

I've been working a lot recently so haven't checked updates, Madders is injured? How long for?

 

[Brown Nose]

Yep, about as good as it gets for us.

Arsenal have selected a bag of shite. Frankly, they are there for the taking if we have enough energy to do it. Arsenal line up makes me almost feel for them:

Leno
Soares Luiz Mari Tierney
Xhaka Elneny
Pepe Smith-Rowe Willian
Lacazette

Could be anything as it hasn't been specified. BR referenced 'several weeks' in talking about his recovery the other day.

 

[Orifice]

I like the look of our line-up.
Are we losing yet?
