Tielemans
Perez
Barnes
Vardy

 

[Jeff]

Subs: Ward, Johnson, Mendy, Choudhury, James, Praet, Gray, Hirst, Iheanacho.

 

[Fox Fan]

No matter how much you can question Brendan for recent performances, he's not Ian Holloway putting Harry Worley in as a central midfielder...

Not aged that well.....

 

[homer]

**** me

He's throwing darts at a pin board with everybody’s picture on to pick his team, isn’t he?

 

[Skitzo]

343 then from the looks of that, Fuchs injured I assume

 

[homer]

Or 5-4-1

 

[Graz]

Is Thomas a fullback?

So it's 5-2-1-2 with him and Justin wide I assume?
I guess Barnes and Perez will play as wingers either side of Vardy, but could be Perez up front with him and Barnes playing behind - I'd prefer option 2.

I think it's harsh on Nacho being left out.

And where's Fuchs? Albrighton must still be injured too?
We're struggling big time for full backs!

Don't like that line-up much... that's what I get for just defending the selections in the pre-match thread!

Happy to see Big Wes though.

 

[Miles Away]

****ing hell.

 

[Orifice]

Luke Thomas?

 

[Miles Away]

Or 5-4-1

Practically

 

[M17TT C]

Thomas is a bit of a surprise but we don't have any other left footed defenders so it's understandable.

People have been saying we should be putting more faith in the youth too.

No surprise people still moan.

Seems about as decent a starting 11 as we can muster right now and think it's probably better its behind closed doors given the negativity.

 

[homer]

Wow

i mean, well....just wow

 

[Miles Away]

At least Hirst is on the bench.

 

[fitz]

The inclusion of Thomas just adds to our confusion and delay tactical approach.

yes Luke Thomas is a left back, very highly rated

 

[M17TT C]

3-5-2 for me - we'll match their system.

 

[mabrah]

I can see the sense in selecting solid, experienced CBs (even if it's pretty much all we had anyway) since I reckon it's going to be a game for them. I just hope Wes can stay the distance.

Roll of the dice with Thomas perhaps but what a chance to prove your worth. Let's hoped he rises to the occasion.

Otherwise, pretty much as we'd have expected (give or take) as we're not exactly blessed with options right now.

Game on lads, over to you. Let's see what your made of.

 

[Miles Away]

I suppose if Fuchs is out he is short of a left back. So no complaints there.

The 3 centre halves on the other hand...

It's one of them...nobody would have guessed that side if given 10 chances.

 

[Graz]

To be fair, with:
Chilwell
Ricardo
Soyuncu
Albrighton
Fuchs

All out injured/suspended, I'm not sure what else people expected to see in defence.

It doesn't look good at all, but doesn't look like we had other options!

Johnson plays RB or CB doesn't he? And Hirst is an attacking mid/striker?

Nice that he's been bedded in before being sacraficed completely randomly.


That's all a bit mental, but then again you could play the entire academy after the pros made it clear they couldn't give a ****.
