Excellent post. The beauty of playing this formation is that it's adaptable to the players we have. It also means we can play Tielemans, Maddison and Praet at the same time without shoehorning the latter two into positions they're not suited. With 2 AMs, whose roles would no doubt change depending on the opposition, we can impose ourselves in the final third either by patient buildup and dominating possession (Maddison/Praet) or by direct OTB running and brute force (Barnes/Under). It's a very fluid system and allows for players all over the pitch to contribute to both attack and defense, leading to more varied attack patterns and combinations; it makes us far less predictable. I daresay that it could very well prove more effective than our 4141 as we'll be less likely to be undone by opponents overloading the flanks, players can be swapped out without nullifying their qualities, fewer specialised roles are required and it enables us to play both possession and counter attacking football.

Adama Traore:

Kelechi: "Yes."

No promises!

**** sake, I go for a restroom break, come back and we're 2-0 up!

I don't think Rodgers can take corners, mate.

Maybe the commentators have a bet going to see who can butcher Kelechi's name the worst.

FoxesTalk & Mendy:

To be the only natural CB playing alongside 2 stand-ins, still bedding in, without the experience of Evans to organise and marshal the backline, I've gotta say, he's really something else. Mind you, that's not to take away from the rest of the team's performance.

C'mon, there's no need to sugarcoat it. Tell me how you really feel.

Neutrals:

Man, is there anything he can't do?!

I'm pleased for Barnes. He thoroughly deserved that goal.

Lads, it's Tottenham.

If y'all check out Vardy's second goal, take a look at who managed to draw Ake away, giving Youri all the space he needed to slide the ball in for Timmy.

First team in Premier League history to wear maroon and not look and play like shit.

Vardy probably won't be sprinting for the rest of the game, but his decoy runs, along with the psychological impact of him staying on the pitch, should keep Man City in panic mode.

Here's a video of Claude and Brendan negotiating a deal:

Expert coaching by Brendan. If your finishing is abysmal, pass instead.

Anyone else feel the need to take a shower after watching Burnley play?

According to my sources, Puel challenged Fofana for the ball during a training session. This is the result. On a saucier note, Claude didn't look happy at all and words were uttered after making the challenge. "Omelette du fromage."
