Ric Flair

Hahahahaaa let's be honest, this is the team most of us selected give or take the odd player.

Yeah it's baffling management though. I know he's looked extremely average so far but he's had 1 start vs Walsall where they were all an abomination and a few sub appearances. Regardless of whether they've already doubts over him, you'd play him tonight purely for minutes as Vardy is always good for a few injuries a season anyway.

That's what I'd go with too

The way we play isn't even overly defensive either though, but it's most certainly not attacking. You look at how easy it is to expose our defence and it's clear the whole team is not coached to be strong enough to maintain a strict low block. All 4 goals in the 1st half of the Arsenal and Southampton away games were bog standard low crosses in the box between the bank of defenders and defensive midfielders who should be protecting the team. Can't get my head around it, it smacks of inefficiency to both defensive football or attacking football. We do neither well.

We had a presser for this?

Josh King Lower down the age groups Lorenz Hutchinson is very well regarded, although his insane U16 record hasn't yet carried on in to U18s.

Took that approach with chicken nuggets when I'd broke the elusive 60 barrier and went for a 100 and was in a coma for 3 days.

Fairly standard that sacking a manager is around a years salary rather than the remainder of their contract. Although there's unconfirmef reports to suggest we were liable for the full whack for Brendan and accounted for in the year the sacking occurred too.

I'm doing the two tunnels half marathon in Bath in Feb, looks decent. Also pencilling in the Ashby 20 miler in March as a gateway as to whether I ever do a full marathon. My dream is to run to every working mens club in the UK.

Many times this season we seem out of position in both defence and attack without committing an abnormal amount of players that should cause us to be ill equipped. I still haven't fathomed out how, at times it's like we have 2-3 less players than the opposition.

Either way he looks effing mustard 😂

He's left footed. Usually plays right wing but has been deployed on the left recently as well, where he scores twice for the U21s. https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODk3MjU1NzE4MDg0MDI1?story_media_id=3454752218584217415_21968654705&igsh=ajVzZ2Qzc2Rhbmhu https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODk3MjU1NzE4MDg0MDI1?story_media_id=3468702099832987277_21968654705&igsh=ajVzZ2Qzc2Rhbmhu https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODk3MjU1NzE4MDg0MDI1?story_media_id=3469216754724865504_21968654705&igsh=ajVzZ2Qzc2Rhbmhu

He's a left footed winger / attacking midfielder

Hamza is out for a good while

OK let's just break this down. Kristiansen was injured so he had play Ricardo, unless he really wanted to show just how much he doesn't rate Riccy and play someone else out of position. The other changes were Winks, who'd only been dropped recently for Skipp and a very raw El Khannouss for Fatawu. He could have left Winks out again but having taken Skipp off at half time and the dominance Winks then had I think he's taken the opportunity to try and get a future reaction out of Skipp after being left out. It's hardly a raft of changes and we've seen with previous games that keeping the same personnel or making a few changes hasn't yet had the linear effect some may expect. We are yet to put in a 90 minute performance, in almost every game we concede a massive amount of chances and our goalkeeper is performing heroics. Certain fans are reacting to others calling for changes that when they've happened and we haven't done anything tangibly different to what we've seen that they're proven wrong. By that metric in the previous games when such players haven't played and we've been crap and/or lost, is that not the counter evidence? I don't like the inverted full back system when it gets exposed and whilst I see the merits of it when it does work, I'm curious and equally scared that Cooper doesn't have the decisiveness and conviction to teach this strongly enough for it to not be easily out maneuvered by the opposition. As I've consistently said under Cooper, I hope the outcome from every game is to learn from it. He's starting to tweak things here and there which I praise him for but he also quickly needs to have clarity on how to improve us.

He's flicked it off the opposite leg, it was a very odd reaction from him. Yates still had a fair bit to do but we made a series of mistakes in that passage of play and seemed determined to shit the bed.

Jake Evans is doing similar to Moore and is a year younger so let's hope we can harness that progression.

Whilst much of this makes sense in theory, we were 2 goals down and I don't buy that Ndidi can't play in the pivot, of course he can. He still leads our team in tackles etc. Him not bringing Skipp on is like him not bringing Winks on vs Bournemouth after being dropped. I think he does it where he can to try and create opportunities afterwards for the players to have a point to prove for being lect out. Skipp has surprised me at his all round midfield play and is comfortable progressing the ball. Soumare is in the situation where it just seems futile him still being used occasionally, but I suppose if we don't and then do need him through crisis and/or unavailability then coming in from the cold is harder.

We were linked with Anselmo García MacNulty in the summer from PEC Zwolle. Seems like a signing we'd have made in the Championship rather than the PL but his profile is the type of player we need for that role.

It was nothing to do with him listening to the fans. Kristiansen was injured, who else was going to play at full back? The fact he changed systems purely to use Ricardo is what bothered me most. I simply don't buy that Ricardo cannot play one of Cooper's standard full back roles. Fatawu had to start, it's madness to think otherwise after a performance like the week before. Cooper will tend to do that when he gets an explosive performance off the bench from a player and that's the correct thing to do. So when you break it down the team was not on the basis of giving the fans what they wanted at all but it's easy to think so.

Hermansen Ricardo Coady Okoli Thomas Skipp Soumare Fatawu El Khannouss Reid Edouard Subs: Ayew, McAteer, Alves, Faes, Ndidi, Ward, Evans, Justin, Vardy

Well considering 3 of our last 5 managers have won something with us that wasn't always a shoe in at other clubs and got a massive pay off or a huge pay rise elsewhere, I think they'd be comfortable taking it over most of the other muck around us.

Is that definitive though. Anywhere else on the pitch, you leg a player up off thr ball or anything and it would be a foul if the ref spotted it. This excuse was given for why Ayew got away with it last weekend and I think it's very ambigious.

Was still by far our best creative outlet bar a few brief glimpses from El Khannouss. Bounanotte made 2 very good passes 1st half that should have been better finished and he'd have been praised for it. Frustrating night though, he's a street fighter who's passionate and you see it with the way he carries himself. Nowt wrong with it.
