Pre Match Arsenal v Leicester

[Miles Away]

Fuchs

Played superbly, didn’t he? I’d certainly be tempted

 

[Singapore Fox]

I’d like to see Fuchs retain the LB spot. Thought he had a solid game on Thursday.

 

[SilverFox]

Fuchs is better than Justin by some way.

 

[Brown Nose]

Surely BR is most likely to go with the same approach as at Man City with the 5-4-1?

Arsenal play very much like Man City and there is little point in having a 'plan b' if you don't use it when it makes sense to.

Schmeichel
Castagne Fofana Evans Fuchs Justin
Praet Mendy Tielemans Barnes
Vardy

Ward Morgan Choudhury Maddison Under Perez Iheanacho

 

[Singapore Fox]

Rodgers did say he wouldn’t play Fuchs in a back 3.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Rodgers did say he wouldn’t play Fuchs in a back 3.

So committed to not doing this is our Brendan that he only did it three times last season.

 

[Brown Nose]

Rodgers did say he wouldn’t play Fuchs in a back 3.

Not true. It was suggested to BR that Fuchs was an option in central defence and he relied that Fuchs could only play there in a three.

Ah apols! You’re right

 

[Miles Away]

I reckon with a fitter squad we’d definitely go with a back 3 tomorrow and match up against the Arsenal system. As it is, I’m not sure we have the personnel to pull it off effectively.

At best with 3 at the back:

Kasper

Castagne
Fofana
Evans
Justin
Fuchs

Mendy
Tielemans
Maddison

Barnes
Vardy

I’d sooner see Praet in for Fuchs or Justin.

That is some post right there you complete and total drunken bastard.

I’ll have a pint of what you’re drinking please

 

[Lako42]

We're going to get heavily bummed

 

[londonfox]

I'd like to see the same 11 that started in the Europa League.

 

[Lako42]

I'd like to see us try starting the game with more than 11 players.

 

[mabrah]

Historical results count squat at the best of times, not that I dismiss the psychological effect of 'the weight of history', and serve only as curiosity value. Added to that, this season is also showing an equally curious random form factor that. would suggest Northampton Town are better than Real Madrid.

In short, tonight's result is a roll of the dice. And quite probably, in this age, beyond satire; 3-9 to Reading, Liam Moore hatrick and 2 OGs.

 

[Joe_Fox]

That would explain my excitement levels.

I went to Highbury twice:

Once we lost 6-1 and Akinbiyi scored

The other we lost 2-1 and Walsh’s scored an og from about 35 yards

I was there for the Walsh OG. Wasn't it boxing day? Draper scored for us I think. We actually should have taken a point as we played well from memory.

 

[Joe_Fox]

We're going to get heavily bummed

"But bollocks ****" bummed, or just a standard bumming?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Recreationally, after the game, as a reward for winning
