Match Thread Sheffield United v Leicester

[fitz]

There's still should be enough in there to beat Sheff Utd ( if we include the odd sensible sub) ... here's hoping anyway.

Agreed. But we had enough to beat Fulham the other day.

 

[Brown Nose]

Genuinely not sure anyone would pick that side given 50 guesses. Absolutely bizarre and very reminiscent of Puel at his worst.

The only one I got wrong in the pre-match thread was Justin in for Thomas. The line up today was pretty much signalled by the line up in Ukraine.

 

[Blue Maniac]

I’d just like to point out that BN got 10 of the starting 11 right. It can’t be that outlandish a selection.

 

[Miles Away]

How easy it would be to play a front four diamond of

Maddison
Barnes
Under
Vardy

and yet...

You clever bastard.

 

[Orifice]

Perez will score today.
There, I’ve said it. And not often I say that.

Couple of things:
- We've had 3 shit performances. He obviously wants to change it.
- it's not really five at the back through is it. Our full backs are often wingers. It's actually a attacking formation. Whether it's the right one remains to be seen.
- Perez ..ffs.

Could be 4141

Schmeichel
Justin Fofana Evans Fuchs
Pères Monday Tielemans Albrighton
Maddison
Vardy

How hard would it be to go to a similar lineup as to the one we won 8 in a row with:

Schmeichel

Justin
Evans
Fofana
Thomas

Mendy/Praet
Tielemans
Maddison

Barnes
Vardy
Ünder

Come on, you know it isn’t.

Play wingers then. It's not rocket science.

Bloody auto erect

Bloody auto erect

Not today without Soyuncu playing.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Quite happy with that line up. Maybe a little harsh on Barnes tho

It’s been five at the back, quite clearly, in recent matches and not an attacking formation in any way whatsoever

 

[Brown Nose]

Perez will score today.
There, I’ve said it. And not often I say that.

Hold on there kiddo. I've just placed my match bet on exactly that.

 

[popillius]

I really feel for Fuchs. He has been fantastic for us for the most part this season and was listed in the PLs 'best players' on the BBC after the first few games. He's quite obviously knackered now though. He is getting sloppy at times because he is just exhausted.

He is being flogged into the ground. He is a fantastic back up for us and offers us a solid replacement when needed but he needs a break.

 

[popillius]

**** sake. Hope Vardy has a good game then.

That’s 4-4-1-1 isn’t it?
