Fuchs at left back
King in the middle
Chilwell left wing
Shinji number 10

Hate to say it but you never feel confident with Kingy, do you?

 

[fitz]

Wouldn't have picked that myself but maybe, just maybe, the new guy is thinking tactically. Reckon he knows more about their shower than I do.

 

[bocadillo]

Not quite what I expected.

 

[martin peters]

Well I never, to many changes I fear, the two players who have impressed recently are both dropped. Afraid it may be a bad night just hope I'm wrong.

 

[Brown Nose]

Chris Kavanagh is the ref? Who he?

Chris Kavanagh is the ref? Who he?

Kavanagh was also the fourth official for the League One Play-off Final between Scunthorpe United and Millwall at Wembley at the end of the 2016/17 season.

Surprised you've never heard of him

 

[Brown Nose]

7/11 of those that started the equivalent fixture in January where Ranieri asked them to play a diamond and they downed tools for him.

Let's hope that he's not asking them to play a different system.

My wife informs me that Mrs Vardy has returned from the jungle. My question is this; Is she going to pull him off at half-time?

 

[bocadillo]

Chris Kavanagh is the ref? Who he?

First year as a Prem ref. Only started with the FL in 2014. I don't think we've ever had him before.

 

[popillius]

Jeff, you seem to have spelled 'Iborra' wrong in your team post; you've written 'King'. At least, I hope it's an error or this is ****ing utter mentalism.

Andy feckin' King FFS

Iborra, Gray, Albrighton sat on their arses on the bench and Andy shithouse King gets a game

Sorry, Claude old bean, but that is an absolute abomination

The inclusion of Fuchs suggests we're not looking at keeping the ball this evening. A shitefest tonight followed by a comfortable win against Palarse is probably the plan. Average of 2 points is promotion form.

 

[glyn]

Squad rotation I suppose. Time will tell in January whether we get away with it.

 

[harrowfox]

Promotion to where?

 

[M17TT C]

Lot of games coming up so we need some rotation at some point.

Not sure if it's the changes I would have gone for myself but understand we need to mix it up a bit.

Would have thought Puel would want to smash these after the sacking but can't see it happening with this 11.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Drop an in form Iborra for a never in form Andy King....?

 

[silly fox]

Got to rotate the squad with a game every 3 days from here to New Year
