Diamond shaped midfield?

 

[FrenchFox]

I don't know if 4-3-1-2 is a diamond mid-field, but that is how I read it.

 

[Miles Away]

Bertrand? Strewth

 

[alex]

Save our season Youri

 

[Brown Nose]

Could be the seasonal formation - Xmas Tree.

Schmeichel
Castagne Evans Soyuncu Bertrand
Tielemans Ndidi Dewsbury-Hall
Maddison Barnes
Vardy

I think its this.

I'm hoping Maddison plays tucked in behind Vardy still rather than too wide on the right.

Who's all these random kids on the bench? No Nacho on the bench either - forgot his paperwork again, or COVID outbreak in the squad?

 

[M17TT C]

Hopefully Maddison doesn't get shoved out wide as its pointless trying to play him in a front 3.

Cant complain about the line up given the circumstances unless Thomas isn't one of the sickies as he'd been looking better recently imo.

Still not confident we'll get anything from this though as we're likely to shit ourselves.

What do we need to happen to finish 2nd if we lose? If that is possible?

McAteer is on there. Didn't he sign for us in 2004 or something when in his mid 30s. He's been very patient about fighting for his place.

If we lose and there is a winner in the other game, we finish third.
If we lose and the other game is drawn, we finish second.

If we win, we finish top

If we draw and Spartak win, we finish third
If we draw and the other game is a draw, we finish top
If we draw and Legia win, we finish top

Well lose and Spartak win

 

[popillius]

Bertrand.
That is all.

 

[homer]

I don’t really understand that line up at all - there is no one there who would naturally play on the right hand side which means somebody will again be playing completely out of position

 

[Blue Maniac]

If we look like losing we should find a way to get docked points. What would it take, Kolo nutting the ref or summat?

 

[homer]

And Bertrand, **** me - he shouldn’t be there at all

Pray that Youri is fit, or we’re ****ed here

I'd bring Filbert on at left back. If they don't notice he's ineligible then at least we improve that position.

Leaving it empty and playing 10 men would be more beneficial than having Bertrand on the pitch.

Covid and "illness", have a look in the pre match thread for the details.
