Iborra was shagged and we've seen before that he really can't stand to play so many games. I'd rather he was fit for the Liverpool game where he'll need to be fully fit to keep up with the Liverpool midfield. Same with Danny Simpson with games coming up- Liverpool in particular, there's no point rushing him back. So I'd play 5-2-1-2 leaving Gray out as we have 2 wing backs already. Possibly impact sub and then bring him back at Liverpool

Kasper

Albrighton Morgan Maguire Fuchs Chilwell

NDidi, King (theres no one else)

Okazaki

Mahrez Vardy

Subs Gray, Dragovic or Benny, Slimani, Musa, Hamer,Knight and Him from the Hare Bear bunch

Nacho man can have his chance on the bench at Liverpool

Or we play the best available team against Watford and accept that Liverpool are very likely to beat us.
 
Chilwell is a better left back than Fuchs.

You'll really need to develop this into an essay before we'll believe you. At least 2000 words. With side swipes at nameless, perhaps even imaginary, people who might just disagree with you.

Fuchs next club will have a daft name like Dynamo or Timbers or Red Bull’s.

He’s been a quality quality player for us and is a genuinely lovely fella by all accounts.

But at this point I’ll take the 20 year old.
 
Chilwell might be a better wingback than Fuchs, but nobody really knows yet because we haven’t seen neither of them used in that position. But I suspect Chilwell will better equipped for that position.

Chilwell is closing the gap on Fuchs as a fullback but still has a lot to learn. He can only learn by playing, so rotating them seems a sensible approach.
 
I think we have two 'good' left backs. Unfortunately we no longer have an 'exceptional' left back, which Fuchs was in the title winning season. In fact, I thought he was the best left back in the league during the title win.
 
No, no. He really is.
I prefer left backs who can actually defend.

If Chilwell can improve his final ball, he could make it as a Premier League left winger or left wing back. There’s no way on earth he’ll make it as a Premier League left back.

If we decide to go with three centre backs against Watford I would put Chilwell in, however if we go with two centre backs it would have to be Fuchs for me.
 
Fuchs has an extra gear in him that can make him an excellent player. We rarely see it nowadays though. Without it though, he's still one of the top three left backs in the league outside the big six.

Chilwell is capable of being an excellent left back too. He's not just yet but at least he's now getting the playing time that will help him to evolve his game. He's likely to end up one of the top six left backs in the league within the next year or so.

Overall, I think left back is the least of our concerns in the team. Just let them get on with it.

I'd play our strongest available side against Watford and Huddersfield and swap the lot out against Liverpool and Fleetwood.

Fresh players for every game and favourites in three out of four. Given Liverpool's form, frankly our youth team could score five against them and concede ten so it's a lottery irrespective of the team we put out.

I think you have next to no chance of Vardy not playing some part of Fleetwood, he will be desperate to play, play him and Nacho, a chance for them to try and gel again

I couldn't give a flying feck what Vardy wants to do. It's about doing what is right for the team.

I agree, but would imagine he’ll come on as a substitute.

He’ll 100% get some game time in that one.
 
Change the system for Watford for me:

Schmeichel

Morgan
Maguire
Dragovic

Albrighton
NDidi
King
Chilwell

Mahrez
Vardy
Gray

I think Getting Vardy and Adrien Silva (who I expect to play that match) on the pitch at the same time as soon as we are allowed might be best for the team
