Great news for my fantasy team when I have Vardy as my captain.

That's the only real surprise for me. I did wonder why he came off against Liverpool despite clearly being our best midfielder. Maybe he picked up a knock.
If he hasn't, his removal then and his absence today is inexplicable.

I thought Mendy would play. He's been training really hard.
I nearly posted as much, earlier today, but then thought of the jeers of derision from everyone.

Mendy?!
I'm amazed by that line-up. Expected 4 or 5 changes but not as many as we have today.
Concerns me as that is a weak team. Nacho has looked better recently but without Maddison or Tielemans or even Praet, not sure who he's going to get the type of service he needs from.
West Ham have the stronger team of the two today.
Hopefully the likes of Nacho, Gray, Perez are able to put in a good performance that they're capable of but too inconsistently on the same day as each other today.

Yes. Pair of clowns. Says the man who thought Maddison was better out wide pretending to be Coutinho..... **** sake man.
I was all for changes but Mendy? He's been shite since day one.

We won't though will we.
We won't know the consequences today and ahead of the alternative reality of 'going again' with much the same side.
I called this fixture out weeks ago on here saying we would have to make wholesale changes. After the Liverpool match, BR said the same thing - he said the only time he'd faced a similar turnaround time, he'd made 8 changes. The 'clowns' comment is about anyone being surprised at this. It was obviously coming.
West Ham have made 7 changes too you know. The difference between the sides is that West Ham are used to rotating a few players whereas we tend not to.

No, I pointed out that BR was trying to do with Maddison what he'd done with Coutinho at Liverpool. As usual, you scoffed at that perfectly reasonable interpretation. And then you went quiet when Maddison himself confirmed that was the plan. It just turned out that Maddison isn't very good at it.
Mendy has been perfectly okay in every appearance he's made over the last year or so. The only risk is in him being left out so often before today.
