[Miles Away]

Yep, that’s our best side at the moment.

 

[Jeff]

Subs: Ward, Söyüncü, Amartey, Thomas, Mendy, Praet, Ünder, Pérez, Iheanacho.

 

[City Fan]

Lovely stuff.

 

[Micky]

Bench looks very good. Just need Ricardo back.

 

[Graz]

Yep, good to see that team out there.

Means we can switch between the two systems again in play, and we've got a stronger attack again.

Good to have Under back on the bench too, although I suspect Perez might get on ahead of him against his former club and recent improved performances.

I'm going for 3-1 to us - Vardy, Maddison and Evans to score

Probably the best line up available. It would be good to see cags get a few minutes under his belt.

 

[Funky Fox]

Shaun from Enderby heard it right then

Looking forward to seeing Tim back in the side.

Tim’s a daft name ain’t it?

Did you not notice him being back in the side against Man U?

So is Chestnut

I didn’t watch the game, so I personally am looking forward to seeing him play.

Honestly, how did you not get that from my post?

That's starting to look like a stable line up (and bench... and you need a stable bench, don't want anyone falling off and injuring themselves, ho ho) We don't need a scoop from Shaun from Enderby to tell us either. The team is starting to pick itself.

Hopefully, we'll be in a position to give Soyuncu 20 minutes, half hour.

Does anyone in football use actual benches these days?

 

[Rock Fox]

Strong team selection, looking forward to this one - and being above Spurs in the table once again!

Picnicky Pope.

Are we playing today or is it only Chelsea and Man City?

Top question. Needs its own thread.

Obviously in this time of social distancing, no, actual benches aren't in use for subs. Subs need to dispersed evenly across a local, and regular, bus service I understand. The system fell apart last week though when a number of teams forgot to supply their subs with the applicable bus pass. It was an embarrassment, not to mention a dent in the argument for those wanting the 5 subs rule implementing.

Will we continue our form of being able to beat the first man on corners? If we improve at this rate, we'll manage to score from one by the end of 2023

We’re the bowl of stale breadsticks you get before the starters come out.
