no Nacho!

 

[Jeff]

Subs: Ward, Morgan, Amartey, Fuchs, Ricardo, Choudhury, Mendy, Praet, Iheanacho.

 

[Miles Away]

NACCCCHOOOOOO

 

[homer]

That’s an odd choice. Interesting

 

[camberwell fox]

442?

 

[Graz]

No Nacho?! Whaaaat

Maybe he had a knock when he came off Saturday?

That's an unreal decision

But I'm assuming it's a back 4 in that case. 4-1-4-1

**** me, Vardy better find his form tonight.

 

[sparky79]

Maybe looking for a way to get Maddison in and thinks perez hustling will be a better way to defend from front

 

[popillius]

Vardy and Perez up top?

 

[homer]

They are playing Werner again, which is a bonus

But sadly also Chilwell and Pulisic

 

[Brown Nose]

442?

Looks to me like our traditional 5-4-1 away to the scary sides.

Schmeichel
Albrighton Castagne Fofana Soyuncu Thomas
Perez Ndidi Tielemans Maddison
Vardy

Maybe he watched him in the cup final. Come on, Nacho was garbage.

Bless him.

 

[Volpone]

Game plan is not to lose.

Bless him.

He can balance things on his head though, surely that's a skill we can make use of.

Playing for the 0-0. Vardy's better as a lone striker than Nacho, and he defends better from the front, holds the ball up better. He'll run himself into the ground.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

I suspected Nacho would be dropped for this one (hence I benched him in my fantasy team... lol). But I did think that one of Praet/Choudhury/Mendy would replace him.
The number of times Chelsea exploited the gaping hole between the back line and midfield on Saturday was alarming. I thought that needed plugging.
Also not sure having Perez and Maddison in the same team is necessarily a good idea as it makes us more lightweight.

BNs bets of the evening:

Chilwell to score - hoping that I've doomed that particular worry.

Fofana to score - it's overdue.

Nacho and Perez are better than Ian at closing defenders down. That's what I'm thinking anyway, brave move. Hopefully this year's experience of the euro cup gees us up for getting the job done tonight.

I've got Cags to score, fofana to score, then loads of free bets on us to win. I'll retire once we've given this lot a good bumming.

 

[FrenchFox]

My guess is 3 4 1 2 with Vards and Perez up front
