Max Power Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 Would prefer Evans over Morgan but don’t hate that team and Vardy off the bench is exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 4 minutes ago, Shane said: We haven’t seen anything to suggest in pre-season we will be trying 3 at the back so I’m guessing it will be Puel’s usual 4-2-3-1:  Schmeichel Amartey, Maguire, Morgan, Chilwell Silva, Ndidi Pereira, Maddison, Gray Iheanacho  Pereira at RW is disappointing. Nope, it's quite bold. And Pereira can cross, so no loss there.  Ghezzal for all we know isn't fully up to speed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxtonfox Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 we will get skewered. we are weak down the flanks defensively and we’ll get overrun in midfield. The back 3 if that’s what it is have not played together pre season. Ihenacho will be a lone starving wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 10 August 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 10 August 2018 (edited) The lineup is similar to the last friendly only with Gray (who was injured) and Maguire (not available) coming in. The manager has gone for a team who have played with one another rather than risking untried partnerships away at one of the toughest places to visit. I don’t think we’ll see this starting lineup again but it does make sense given how injuries and our preseason have dictated.  It’s a pretty sensible lineup all things considered.

We'll see, and I hope you're right but we've also got our new right back that Puel strangely always played left back at Nice is at right wing replacing our best player.

rachhere Posted 10 August 2018 Share Posted 10 August 2018 (edited) No great surprised with the line up. It was never going to be the eventual starting XI with the World Cup and the transfer window closing the day before. Having watched all the pre-season matches, this set up was working well at the end.  Just hope Vardy gets on later so we can finally see that link up with Maddison!
