Subs: Jakupović, Söyüncü, Fuchs, Ndidi, Maddison, Pérez, Iheanacho.

 

[Miles Away]

No striker. Cool.

 

[popillius]

Pretty much what I'd have had. I put Iheanacho in mine but I'm more than happy with that as a line-up.

 

[popillius]

No striker. Cool.

That's my only concern as well but there should be enough in that lot to find a goal somewhere... he says... somewhat hopefully.... but unconvincingly.

 

[Miles Away]

I definitely would have gave Nacho a game, but again, I'm a middle manager, not an elite football coach so.

 

[Miles Away]

They've made 6 changes too, which suggests they are there for the taking.

 

[Robin127]

So we finally get to see Benkovic.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Good chance for Benkovic and puts a little bit of extra responsibility on Harvey Barnes.

 

[popillius]

Good chance for Benkovic and puts a little bit of extra responsibility on Harvey Barnes.

I'm looking forward to seeing him hit the ball wide, over and straight at the goalkeeper.

 

[Graz]

No Nacho is surprising. Maybe Vardy genuinely has had a knock so we don't want to risk Nacho for this game?

So who's up front - Gray or Barnes? We're going to have to create a lot of chances for a goal, that's for sure! Hopefully we will have enough of it today to be fine.

I'm going for Benkovic to score from a corner.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Not much of a goal threat there.

I hope I’m wrong.

 

[floppus]

No striker. Cool.

A result possible without a 'striker' but not seeing many on the cards with the rest of 'em. How many in total for the rest.... Is it 3. ?

 

[Orifice]

No Vardy? We'll never score a goal without Vardy up front.

 

[Micky]

No striker. No confidence in Barnes. No decision making from Gray. No understanding between Morgan and Benkovic. No goals. Wigan to win 1-0.

 

[TommyK]

Looks like Barnes upfront

 

[Micky]

We need to be more composed.

 

[Jeff]

Nice.

 

[TommyK]

Who needs a striker.

 

[Jeff]

We need to be more composed.

No we don't. We just needed them to be less composed.
