Shane

If he is given a chance I wouldn’t mind seeing him and Youri together as the two number 8’s. I suspect it probably wont happen until the Luton game.

Not a bad idea. He’s supposed to tick all the boxes of an all round midfielder. But assuming we play a 4-1-4-1/4-3-3 with two wingers, who do we replace in midfield for Praet?

They signed Mahrez to stop their rivals getting him

Schmeichel Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell Tielemans, Ndidi, Maddison Perez, Vardy, Barnes/Albrighton

Think it’s pretty clear we need to stop playing with 2 DM’s. 3 times it’s been tried this season & it’s not worked. This system has arguably cost us 7 points. Spurs will be the biggest challenge of the season so far, but I don’t want to see us playing 2 DM’s. Get Maddison and Tielemans back in the middle together and play to our strengths!

70 minutes without a through ball to Vardy

No subs at half time? Are we playing for a draw

It’s cost us 4 points this season already, potentially 7 if we don’t make some early subs!

Bring on two wingers on at half time. Gray and Choudhury off.

Our biggest strength is the midfield, with Tielemans and Maddison able to control the flow of games. So why go make it weaker by playing 2 DM’s, we can’t even keep the ball playing this formation

We’ve set up so negatively again

The Wolves and Chelsea selections were also puzzling. Hope Brendan gets it right today, can see Gray doing well against Young tbf

I would start Perez at RW against United. Good game for him to gain some confidence up against Ashley Young..

Hopefully we won't play 2 CDM's now Pogba and Martial are injured (their two best players imo)

I agree.. Surely the big club bias is driven by the FA. It's been a common trend not just with Southgate but also Hodgson, etc.
