Shitting hell, you’re happy with something?

Benković, what a storming career he’s had since we signed him for no reason

I’m a fair person. When Brendan looks like he’ll treat our European run seriously, like he is doing with that team selection, I’m happy.

Amazed he’s on the bench.

It’s a must win so I understand the strength of it.
That said, genuine concerns around Evans playing twice in a week.

I think the trick with these games is to make enough starting changes to rest those that most need it and allow for several second half changes to rest others. Whilst winning the game!
I'd not have played Evans but I can't argue with the rest. As long as we make our strength count and can bring players like Tielemans, Evans, Iheanacho off after an hour.

Surpised by the line up and how strong it is, but feel like it's the right call - glad to see we're not happy to duck out of this with a whimper.
Evans twice in a week is a risk but hopefully he can come through and we take him off after an hour. Imagine he also needs match fitness.
I think there's a bit of combination of us needing to win this and also playing into form/not changing a winning lineup too much.

Quincy Promes is definitely the name of a 1960s American detective who solves crime with the aid of some dodgy behaviour and a ****ing massive cigar.

BR: Castagne was due to play but felt a tight hamstring so has been left out.

That was the one that confused me most from that line-up, but now makes sense. Hopefully just a precaution and will be okay for the next game.
Interesting that Bertrand wasn't given the slot in that case.
Assume Vardy is just rested

Thomas is a much better option than Bertrand. Shame about Castagne, he has been exceptional of late.

Until Bertrand fully recovers from Covid.
