RowlattsFox Posted 5 August 2018 Posted 5 August 2018 Looks like Amartey might play right back with Ricardo playing in midfield. With Albrighton on the left, it shows how quickly a 4231 formation can soon become a more negative 4411. I think he’ll opt for Iborra ahead of silva for his physical presence even though he has been woeful all pre season. If Evans isn’t fit, we have to risk Maguire IMO.

Iheanacho could score 3..but our defence will let in more! Benny and Wes as CB's!!.. What a nightmare. Amartey at RB?..so we've bought Pereira so he can play elsewhere?.. WTF?
Happy Fox Posted 5 August 2018 Posted 5 August 2018 Kasper Ricardo Morgan Johnson Chilwell Ndidi Iborra Albrighton Maddison Silva Iheanacho Subs: Benny, Fuchs, Ward, Gray, Diabate, Vardy and Hamza

Keep it tight and protect that back 4. I'm sure pereira will be moved to RB for the wolves game.

I assume Evans will still be injured. And Maguire probably won't be match fit. It's going to be Benny and Wes. And unless we sign a right winger I reckon we'll play Richardo at right wing. Albrighton had a shocker but he did pass to Iheanancho for his first. And he may be more fit than Gray. Iborra hasn't impressed. Silva's been better. Kasper Amartey Wes Benny Chilwell Pereira Ndid Silva Albrighton Maddison Iheancho I'd prefer Choudhury to Silva to better protect Wes and Benny but I doubt it'll happen. I fear that back 4 would be utterly mullered... Amartey, Benny Hill, Wes, Chillers.... Edited 5 August 2018 by Col city fan

Not much choice available if Maguire isn’t ready though. Could play Ricky at RB. A youngster at CB. Or an aging LB. Edited 5 August 2018 by Cardiff_Fox

Max Wall Posted 5 August 2018 Posted 5 August 2018 I wouldn't bet on him lasting the 90 minutes but, if he does, Benny with a late winner and to return to the city a hero. 1-2 1

I think once it becomes clear their WC players are going to play, it will be more difficult for Puel not to play them. Personally given Iheanacho's form I'd be happy for Vardy to start on the bench, given our defence at the minute it's a much bigger priority that Maguire plays. May not happen but I still haven't given up hope we could see Maguire & Evans tbh.

Only went for 1-2 so I could be smug in the post match thread along with the other 5 people who predicted we'd win. However, we really don't know who's starting yet so it is difficult to predict at this point.

Ah but according to peeps in the other thread, our boys need 3 week’s hols rather than 2, otherwise they’ll be sad ? I do agree though that with Nacho in such good form, he should start anyway.

Slight difference is that if they look jaded then they can bring in a squad of world class players later in the Winter or Season... I cannot quite see that we can ease them in gently or rest them which is part of the issue as our squad is thin outside the starting 11 imo

Yes, if they're not there you'd have to question their commitment. Vardy was hardly overworked for England but did get an injury. Maguire is a centre back and at 80% of full fitness he's got to be better than the alternatives. They've had plenty of rest. As you say, if Chelsea and Man City players are available plus most of United, then if ours aren't it's shocking.
