Both for me.

Schmeichel

Ricardo
Maguire
Evans
Söyüncü
Chilwell

Ndidi
Mendy

Maddison

Vardy
Iheanacho

 

[Miles Away]

Last chance saloon.

 

[martin peters]

Totally agree with that team, quite obvious that we need to play 3 centre backs with the wing backs we have

 

[SJN-Fox]

Unfortunately it's not so obvious to the PTB.

 

[Lako42]

Huddersfield are exactly the kind of shithouse team we should use last Saturday's system against.

3 at the back against these at home would be horrific.

They are completely shut up top.

When the team was announced prior to the Bournemouth game, many voiced (typed) their approval.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing

Shit or not, leaving two centre backs who aren’t exactly the fastest to defend a counter attack against any team is beyond stupid.

If they’re as shit as you say, it’ll be good to use this game to practice it.

 

[homer]

Huddersfield are seriously shit, and I fully expect them to go down

Should be a very comfortable home win

The Arsenal home game was a big turning point for Don Claudio.
Maybe, just maybe. Bournemouth away will be Claude's

3 at the back against worst English team in the division??

Why does everyone keep banging on about the Turk too - from the sounds of the U23s he's hardly been setting the place on fire! Does he have a good rating on Fifa or something??

 

[Miles Away]

Might have been the 20 million quid we spunked out for him at a guess.

 

[City Fan]

Might have been the 20 million quid we spunked out for him at a guess.

Or maybe it’s the 4 goals we spunked away from home against an average team.

Sorry, I forgot we were just unlucky.

If he insists on playing a back-four (which he will), we need to have three in central midfield, so at least one can drop back in to defence and try and offer some cover. I'd bring in Iborra to play alongside Mendy and Ndidi. Up-top I'd have Maddison behind Vardy and Ihenacho.

Presumably, according to our management team (as they signed him) he has a good rating in real life.

 

[M17TT C]

****ing hell, are we honestly taking monetary value as a sign of quality?

If we go by that theory why did we ever sell Slimani??

Granted this guy sounds a good prospect but from what I have seen and read of his performances so far, he is a way off PL readyness yet.

 

[londonfox]

he is a way off PL readyness yet.

So were Morgan and Maguire at Bournemouth.

 

[pork pie fox]

So were Morgan and Maguire at Bournemouth.

They’re not helped by the set up though. We are massively exposing our central defenders at the minute, by having two very attack minded full backs.

I’m not saying they weren’t at fault for some things, but they are being hopelessly isolated at the back at times and they’re hardly players who are designed to prosper like that.

I totally agree mate. I was being a little flippant.

We didn’t, sadly.
