Match Thread AEK Athens v Leicester

[Jeff]

Schmeichel
Albrighton
Fofana
Morgan
Fuchs
Justin
Choudhury
Tielemans
Under
Maddison
Vardy

 

[Jeff]

Subs: Ward, Jakupović, Thomas, Mendy, Praet, Barnes, Pérez, Iheanacho.

 

[Miles Away]

No Evans.

3 at the back.

Choudhury.

Guessing Under will play quite centrally.

 

[Skitzo]

no Evans at all? Has he picked up an injury as everyone else fit and available is named?

Castagne seemed to be struggling towards the end of the Arsenal game so presume that's why he's not there

 

[Jeff]

Guessing Under will play quite centrally.

The UEFA website has him playing at right wing back. He won't though, it'll be Albrighton.

 

[mabrah]

The kick-off is an hour earlier than I thought. Just as well I checked-in here.

 

[Funky Fox]

Albrighton right wing back. I see
Had mixed games in that position

 

[Jeff]

 

[mabrah]

It's the sort of lineup I was anticipating.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a watchful eye on Evans, I don't think he's fully right after than injury he picked up a few weeks back. Wise to rest him methinks.

Mendy needs a rest too, and I'm not expecting Youri to do a full 90.

 

[Miles Away]

Yeah the setup:

Kasper


Fofana
Morgan
Fuchs

Albrighton
Justin

Choudhury
Tielemans
Maddison

Under

Vardy

 

[Skitzo]

not a massive fan of Maddison playing off the left but in a 343 its pretty much the only place for him

 

[Skitzo]

we're assuming a back 3 but it could easily be a 4231

Kasper

Justin Fofana Morgan Fuchs

Hamza Tielemans

Under Maddison Albrighton

Vardy​

 

[Feriol]

we're assuming a back 3 but it could easily be a 4231

Kasper

Justin Fofana Morgan Fuchs

Hamza Tielemans

Under Maddison Albrighton

Vardy​

I prefer this.

 

[mabrah]

...and I was assuming 5 at the back, with Albrighton at RWB.

 

[Graz]

Kasper

Hamza Tielemans

Under Maddison Albrighton

Vardy​

True, didn't see that.

I assumed 3-4-2-1 with Ünder and Madders behind Vardy but you could be right.

Decent amount of rotation, but would've preferred Nacho to play over Vardy. Hopefully take Vardy off at 60 if we get the job done by then.

Glad to see Ünder start!

Would've liked to see Thomas in for Justin but if you're right on 4231 then it makes senses why JJ is still in there.

 

[Skitzo]

it probably is a back 3 going off how they were listed in the tweet but we have some flexibility in that 11

 

[Jeff]

I'm going to boo their number 11.

 

[Skitzo]

I'm going to boo their number 11.

any particular reason?

 

[Jeff]

any particular reason?

He used to play for Notts Forest. They had to get rid of him when they realised he was a decent player.

Vardy​

This is pretty much what I thought it was when looking at the line up. Seems to have everyone in their natural positions. I think the other option with a back 3 looks too forced, and slightly makeshift.
