Very interesting, that

Like it

 

[FIF]

Vardy playing Slimani and Mahrez being saved for the CL

 

[FIF]

Drinkwater has become our most important player.

Captain next season when Morgan loses his place?

 

[Orifice]

Pace.

 

[Miles Away]

Extra steadiness across midfield four.

Prefer Hernandez. Still 442 though.

Let's see.

 

[Micky]

4-4-2 or 3-5-2 or 4-5-1?

 

[FIF]

2 long throw experts but not a forward who can head the ball.

 

[FIF]

Are we playing in white?

 

[homer]

2 long throw experts but not a forward who can head the ball.

Yes, we really should set our whole team and tactics up to play to the long throw

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Shinji not even on the bench.

 

[Borderfox]

Shinji not even on the bench.

Shinji would probably be asleep on the bench given the travelling he's done, plus he's injured.

 

[FIF]

Nah we should ignore our strengths and play to our weaknesses.

 

[SJN-Fox]

I'm still not convinced about Schlupp but still, time will tell. Let's just hope I'm wrong.

 

[Micky]

Nah we should ignore our strengths and play to our weaknesses.

I don't think we've been renowned for our long throws. Pace and counter attacking is what we are about.

No, no

Football is irrelevant now. All about a whumping long throw into the box these days

Jesus wept

 

[M17TT C]

Well from the line up it seems our only tactic will be the long ball in the hope that Schlupp, Musa or Vardy will outpace one of their defenders.

Wouldn't have been bad having Slimani in the team for a bit of muscle and hold up, plus the long throws will probs be a main source of our threat today.

Half time reshuffle for sure.

 

[fitz]

Red I think

 

[pork pie fox]

They are a bit weak at the back and susceptible to pace, I can see why Claudio has gone with this team. Whether it works is another matter, but I can see his thinking.

 

[Motown Fox]

4-4-2 or 3-5-2 or 4-5-1?

Flexible I imagine.
Schlupp could be a part of 3 man midfield with Albrighton and Fuchs as wing backs.
