Match Thread Leicester v Manchester United

[City Fan]

Once again, it’s like he has drawn numbers out of a hat. And a formation.

Brenda had better hope it pays off.

 

[LeeCovFox]

Yeah I‘ve been all for keeping it tight and shithousing it all week. But it’s a change of shape rather than necessarily a change of style. And even if the former translates into the latter, it‘s all a bit too late.

At least I’m not nervous. I don’t think we stand a chance. I hope I’m surprised.

Hope they have the Maguire Song on the crowd noise

Remember when Mendy got a start against Brighton? Hahahahaha.

 

[H T B]

Vardy/ Nacho combo will do for them
They drop back Nacho is your man
They leave spaces JV will be licking his lips
Bring it on
COYB

it's not really a change of shape we've been playing with a back 3 and wing backs for weeks, often with a man in behind 2 strikers, its still a back 3 with wing backs and 2 strikers

Darts thrown at a board with players names on it

What a howling ****ing nightmare of a shitshow this is going to be

 

[Jeff]

We're nervous. But also looking forward to it.

Yes, and how has that shape worked out, do we think ?

 

[Miles Away]

not entirely sure the players have a scooby where to be most of the time

 

[Skitzo]

Yes, and how has that shape worked out, do we think ?

how was 433 working out? about the same. a back 4 with an immobile Wes Morgan and 2 inexperienced full backs sounds like a ****ing fantastics idea against Rashford, Martial and Greenwood

 

[City Fan]

Remember when Mendy got a start against Brighton? Hahahahaha.

Remember when Bennett was behind Morgan and Fuchs in the pecking order? And then boom straight into the team.

 

[popillius]

I just don't get it. Perez and Barnes missing means that we have almost no creativity whatsoever in midfield. It's very odd. If it pays off, we'll done but I've a feeling we are going to get rolled over very easily.

 

[Jeff]

I don't think there was any other option to play three at the back. We needed some pace in the centre of defence, so Justin had to play there. I don't think he can play in the centre of a back four. So it had to be three. Albrighton is then the only real option at right wing back.

apparently he got injured just after he signed, so says Rob Tanner on a podcast he did a few weeks ago.

Two quick full backs playing keeping them narrow - Wilf playing deep in front of the 2CBs

They’re going to get behind this back line again and again and again

to say nothing of the massive risk Hamza presents for a sending off.

he has a reputation and they’ll be looking for an excuse.expect the ref to be crowded from minute 1.

 

[Lako42]

It's ****ing horrible


Hamza could very well see himself off here. Bruno is ****ing miles away from him in terms of intelligence and he'll know what to do to get the young man into trouble. That penalty bet looks excellent.

Defensively it's a horror show. Albrighton, as proven many times, is not a wing back.

Hope I'm wrong and they make me look silly.

our system in a 433 requires attacking full backs, so they can't play narrow and sit back to protect Wes

You would think Wilf would have the man marking job on Bruno
