Subs: Ward, Söyüncü, Amartey, Thomas, Ricardo, Choudhury, Dewsbury-Hall, Tielemans, Albrighton, Maddison, Lookman, Vardy.

Interesting pick and really looking forward to the game. Just wouldn't have bothered with Perez who, despite how many chances he gets, never fails to disappoint.

 

[Lako42]

Nice

Apart from Perez, obviously

Why not play Dewberries instead of Perez? Doesn't look a bad team otherwise....

 

[Miles Away]

Yeah, load of shit this lot....

 

[fitz]

Lookman, Vardy.

What's he done like?

 

[Brown Nose]

I find it odd that we're starting two central defenders who probably can't do 90 minutes. Although is it five subs allowed?

In general terms, it's a sensible selection. Probably a bit too safe but that's BR.

Perez had better play his heart out or he'll be getting the boo treatment.

 

[Miles Away]

That side looks pretty unbalanced to me. Not sure who is supposed to be playing where.

At a guess:

Nacho in the Maddison role
Daka in Vardy role
Perez in fanny about like I won a prize role

That side looks pretty unbalanced to me. Not sure who is supposed to be playing where.

Also, an interesting tactic to start with 10 men.

It's easy

Nacho in Maddison’s role

Perez for Albrighton

Soumare for tielemans

Soumare for tielemans

Yeah, got my head around it.

 

[Brown Nose]

I hope it's 4-4-fecking-2.

 

[City Fan]

I thought Brendan said he couldn’t fit Iheanacho and Barnes into the same team?

 

[Graz]

I think thats a 4-4-2
Maybe 4231 with Nacho dropping off

 

[popillius]

Well my Covid check consisted off my getting the phone or off my pocket before the talking clipboard just ushered me in without looking at it before putting a tally mark on his chart.

 

[Graz]

Im really happy with that team

I think the only differences to the team I suggested are no Soyuncu, and Perez instead of Lookman.

I don't see the logic in playing Evans and Vester. I really doubt we ever want to play them together in a back 4 and think they're both just playing cos they've not had many minutes - but that's a huge risk when both are coming bsck from injury. And with the pace of Napoli.

Excited to see Nacho, Soumare and Daka though. Got a feeling we will see a good game from Castagne tonight too
