A team that go into every game with the confidence that we’re going to win. A great squad filled with exciting young players with a few old heads keeping them grounded An unbelievable manager who has just committed himself to the next 5 years here. Owners who love the club and who put their money where their mouth is - we have done some brilliant bits of business in recent times New state of the art training ground on the way with plans to expand the stadium The future’s bright. The future’s blue.

Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Chilwell/Fuchs Ndidi Barnes Praet Maddison Albrighton Vardy Subs: Ward, Morgan, Justin, Choudhury, Tielemans, Perez, Iheanacho Need to rest a couple and would like to see Barnes on the right. 2-0 win. Vardy and Barnes

Puel did sign Ricardo, Soyuncu, Evans, Maddison and brought Tielemans to the club. he promoted Barnes and Chilwell to the first team and managed to shift some dead wood. Did well on that front - just didn’t know what to do with them!

If that’s the team our wingers and fullbacks will pen their fullbacks in and can’t see much in the way of protection from auba and pepe. Stick wilf on Ozil who won’t track back when we have it their centre mids can run about but that’s it and less said about their centre backs the better. we got this

The problem with replacing vardy isn’t just finding someone quick who can finish. its his aggression, desire, work rate and unselfishness which will be the hardest to replace (shit housery aside) he looks after himself so can see him going for a couple of seasons after this. after that god knows - he’s so vital to us

I’d be happy as we are in January unless someone too good to be true becomes available for a decent price. in the summer id go for a centre back to replace Wes and a long term replacement for vardy. Best to get him know so can bed in before the inevitable happens. God knows who though as vardy is as irreplaceable as they come

I agree that Praet looks class but he’s hard to fit into the side - which is a great problem to have I see him as a replacement for Ndidi, Tielemans or Maddison if their unavailable or used in a three with WN and YT against the bigger sides

Do we need to play a DM against these? A midfield four of Perez, Praet, Tielemans & Barnes/Albrighton with Maddison off Vardy. Ndidi could always come on to then protect a lead

Have we officially announced it? Can’t see it anywhere

I agree with your comments on centre mids, I just put it like that as vary system from one holding to two and I think Choudhury can play as an 8 if we need him to. winger wise I’m happy. Albrighton is hugely underrated and for me is a must against the bigger sides. I have huge faith in Barnes and Gray (who I think BR is going to turn into a superstar) and Perez will start getting on the scoresheet soon. My only slight reservation is on iheanacho playing up top for long periods if Vardy gets injured. My guess is BR would turn to Perez if not working out. Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Utd have looked poor imo. Wolves and Everton look weaker too so it’s ours for the taking

I’m massively optimistic about this season. We’re building momentum whilst our competition are going the other way. The biggest thing for me is our squad depth. We’ve got two decent 11’s and I genuinely don’t think the others outside of City and Liverpool have: GK - Schmeichel/Ward RB - Ricardo/Justin LB - Chigwell/Fuchs CB - Evans/Morgan CB - Soyuncu/Benkovic CM - Ndidi/Mendy CM - Tielemans/Choudhury CM - Maddison/Praet RW - Perez/Gray LW - Barnes/Albrighton ST - Vardy/Iheanacho There seems to have been some rotation already which shows the faith BR has in our whole squad. Would like Iheanacho to get some minutes as looked sharp in preseason

Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Chilwell Ndidi Tielemans Choudhury Maddison Vardy Albrighton Subs: Ward, Justin, Morgan, Praet, Barnes, Gray, Perez Press, win the ball and attack at pace. Confident we can beat them

Great news, think he is going to be a huge player for us in years to come. Him and Ndidi sat in front of the back four against the big 4/6 will be like trying to get through a brick wall.

Soyuncu making us all forget whatshisface The performances of Fuchs, Choudhury and Barnes demonstrating our great squad depth. BR focusing on a cup competition The assists, goals and celebrations at Bramall Lane But, the biggest thing for me without getting too carried away, is outside of Man City and Liverpool how poor all the other teams have looked. If we continue as we are there is no reason why we can’t challenge for the top 4.

Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Chilwell Ndidi Tielemans Praet Perez Vardy Maddison Subs: Ward, Morgan, Justin, Choudhury, Barnes, Albrighton, Iheanacho Harsh to drop Perez after two games. They play 3 in the middle so I’d go like for like and encourage Maddison/Perez to drift inside leaving the fullbacks to overlap

2nd half we were incredible, just needed a bit more composure and we would have run away with it. That is our best system except I’d put Praet in for Hamza and Chilwell back in for Fuchs. The future is bright.

You’re spot on and it’s a nonsense that the attacker can be penalised but the defender can’t. what I meant is that as time goes on it could go that way - sorry if not explained well! VAR is great but the rules need looking at

I’m all for a system that means clear and obvious errors are not made. The officials can’t see everything so they do need help. however disallowing goals for a nipple being offside or if the ball accidentally brushes an arm is ludicrous. Completely spoils the game. I agree that it’s not VARs fault, the rules need looking at it. with the Man City one yesterday if we are being really OTT, Skipp pulled laportes shirt first and the ball hit both their arms so could easily have been given as a penalty instead. This is going to ruin our beautiful game if we’re not careful

Morata and David Luiz are the only other ones I can remember
