[hejammy]

Anyone know of streams or foriegn channels this might be shown on? 

[Phube]

But what do people moan about if we haven’t scored 6 by half time?

Chilwell favoured at home where we will have a lot of the ball I think. Fuchs has a quality final ball though.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see them both get a decent number of games this year, especially if we have a decent cup run.

Agree, Chilly was not up to the level he was playing at last season in the games against Atalanta and Wolves.  He will hopefully know he has to up his game to keep Fuchs from replacing him and step up accordingly.  It'll take him 3-4 games to get up to speed given the matches he has missed.

 

Very promising looking team today, fingers and toes crossed we bring home 3 points - a positive performance that creates plenty of chances would be a bonus, ala Chelsea 2nd half.

That's as good as it gets for me. Perez will be better off the bench with something to prove. 

[That_Dude]

Back to the basics. Pérez dropped. Even Gray is here.

Fuchs as backup centre back

We have Choudhury and Ndidi that can fill in at the back.

Is Benkovic injured?

[Tuna]

Now that's more like it (the lineup).

[Fox_in_a_Box]

Happy with that! C'mon city 3 points for my birthday please!

[BKLFox]

Don’t think it’s a case of dropping Perez due to form this is BR looking at who we are playing against and B’Mouth run us ragged with their movement up top and now add H Wilson into the mix, Barnes and Albrighton are in there for energy and tracking back something Perez and Madders wouldn’t do so well, well the defending part anyway.

To be fair, given the way we play all those formations end up pretty much the same.

 

With Chilwell and Ricardo having a tendency to overlap, the wide positions end up getting a bit blurred.

So long as Madderz stays central...

[Dames]

I’m so glad he’s dropped the idea of playing with two CDMs, i’m excited about this lineup. Hope it does well.

[StriderHiryu]

Respect to Rodgers. He’s given Perez 4 starts to bed in but he’s not proved himself yet. So he’s picking the team based on form and not on who his favourites are. I’d like to hope Perez still comes good as I’m fed up of us making poor attacking signings but I still think he’s a good option in the squad and he has to prove he’s good enough to start. 

 

This lineup is almost identical to the one we played in our last home game against Bournemouth and we played them off the park so excited to see the match!

[Nicolo Barella]

Hmm. Bit rough on Hamza. However, let's smash them.

Yes shame about that retrograde step.

Hey isn't this the team we spanked them with last season except Soyuncu over Maguire? Makes a lot of sense in that case.

[sishades]

Just the lineup we were hoping for, Madders and Youri in the middle making the plays for Vardy. Must win but .........

Its Bournmuff!!

Rodgers has said he’ll pick the team based on the opposition so sometimes he’ll choose two tacklers and other times he won’t. Puel always picked two at home so I think it’s great we’ve set out to attack!

 

Hamza just signed a new contract and Rodgers loves him so there’s no need to worry about him. Rodgers wants a competitive and deep squad that he can use to adjust his tactics if necessary l and barring the front 3 I feel we have that depth. 

 

 

[Tanya]

If they don't perform today we can't blame Rodgers for his selection. This is the team that most of us wanted. Come on lads, let's give this one a real crack!

[Suzie the Fox]

For those not having the pleasure of being at the KP today and want to avoid those illegal streams you are not allowed to use, ffs do not goto

as there are loads which will be available nearer KO - avoid at all costs. 

[Farrington fox]

Bit tough on Hamza. But I can see why he’s gone with this lineup. 

No real excuse for not banging at least a couple in. Coyb.

This. Hope Chillers can snuff out the threat from H Wilson. Always worrying when the FT crowd anticipate a walkover.

So how much has our window improved us?  I agree with the team selection but three out of four new signings only making the bench.

 

Pretty much the same team that finished last season (minus Maguire) but we're £90m lighter.
