4-5-1?

 

[popillius]

Thought Fatawu and Casadei might get in. Also surprised Faes is out as he's been decent of late.

Glad Vardy is in over Iheanacho and the lesser spotted Daka.

 

[The Old Fox]

I suspect Nacho may be rested after internationals and possible late return: I know Ndidi starts but we are a bit light in midfield.

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Casadei surely is an obvious starter

I suspect he's a bit shite. As he has been all season for the most part.

Yes. Definitely.

 

[Micky]

For me we are waiting for Iheanacho to find form. If he does, he will transform us.

 

[The Old Fox]

Ndidi has more bite, if we feel that we need to weather early pressure...

 

[Miles Away]

Yep, a few curveballs.

Good to see JJ back.

 

[Robin127]

So who will be occupying the left side of the back 3, Doyle or Justin?

 

[homer]

No idea why we keep putting Ndidi and KDH together FFS

Ah well, game on….l

 

[Graz]

Good to see JJ back.

On paper, it could be a 4-5-1 but really is most likely still the system we've been seeing. But maybe some of the selections are so we've got the option to change the system as the game goes, without having to make subs (e.g. switching to a flat back 4, Ndidi dropping further back into midfield)

 

[City Fan]

Casadei surely is an obvious starter

You’d think so wouldn’t you.

No idea who’s playing where in defence.

I suspect Doyle. With Justin playing on the right in place of Faes. JJ brings some pace to the defence which we have definitely been lacking.

 

[popillius]

I hope it's JJ on the left. It's his best position.

 

[Graz]

I suspect Doyle. With Justin playing on the right in place of Faes. JJ brings some pace to the defence which we have definitely been lacking.

That's what I think too.

But then it would be odd to have him RCB and Doyle LB when we drop into defensive mode, so we'll see.

Surprised McAterr still keeps his place over the two new wingers.

 

[popillius]

Sky has it as 4 at the back with JJ at LB and Riccardo at RB.

 

[Brown Nose]

Ze system is all zat matters.

 

[Graz]

Not even kicked off yet and Sky already talking about Vardy being preferred for his pace so we can play on the counter and play him in behind - with balls over the top, none the less.

Have they watched us or Vardy play recently?
