Match Thread Northampton v Leicester

Barnes and Soumare missing. Surprised to see Castagne in the lineup.

Appears to be sending a bit of a message to Ward and Iversen.

What position does Marcal-Madivadua play?

Trying to work out who's where in that midfield and supporting Vardy up front...

He’s Barnes in this system.

Barnes and Soumare missing

Barnes missed the Peterborough game too. They said he was injured...

Hopefully get to see Vestergaard and Daka in the second half

He’s got Geordienteritis.

 

[homer]

The pace in that team is absolutely frightening

Frighteningly ****ing absent

 

[taupe]

Have they scored yet?

Ah, fek. Hour's time difference caught me out again.....

To top it off, Wout Faes is back.......

Our formation is very confusing. Best guess is 3-6-1

Stolarkzyk
Faes Coady Doyle
Castagne Ricardo Praet Winks Dewsbury-Hall Marcal-Mavidadua
Vardy

I'd imagine is 3-4-2-1 with Castagne and Ricardo as fullbacks, Marcal and KDH ahead of Praet and Winks

Just realised this is the first Leicester pre season friendly I watched since 1973. **** I'm old.

Different formations with or without the ball surely? With the ball it’s a 3-4-3 I reckon

That's on paper, on the pitch it isn't that at all.

Castagne is wide right forward. Ricardo is holding central midfield alongside Winks. Praet is playing ahead of Winks.

It's like Winks is the holding midfielder with Ricardo joining him when we have the ball. Then Praet and Dewsbury-Hall are playing ahead of those two but in central midfield - it's like a box of four players.

Then Castagne and Marcal Mavidadua wide midfield.

 

[homer]

It’s a very fluid formation and fascinating to watch

Booom

KDH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111

****ing get in!!

We're gonna win the league!....

 

[bigmattp]

Really wide back three. Praet seems to be playing as support for Vardy which is interesting
