Do we take no news as good news with regards to Maddison's injury?

 

Unless i've missed something.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I'm wondering if there's another opportunity for a FT meet up beforehand? @StriderHiryu, @Foxhateram, all other friendly parties, what say you? 

Deffo up for a meet up later in the season. Wife is not far from being due with baby number 2 so plastic fan I am won't be going now for a while. Let's deffo arrange something for a game after Xmas!

[HybridFox]

Ayoze up top! and James Justin start. Thank you Brendan 

 

EDIT: This should either be in the Luton thread or I've predicted the future

Can’t see much other was to be assessed on Monday 

wish the news of him was as transparent as his bag

[lgfualol]

Schmeichel

Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Chilwell

Ndidi

Tielemans Praet

Maddison

Perez Vardy

 

 Bench: ward, benkovic, justin, choudhury, nacho, barnes, albrighton

[ARTY_FOX]

Same team as spurs please. 

[moore_94]

Praet coming in for Maddison in the middle, unless he wants to play Barnes behind Vardy and put Albrighton on the wing

Would prefer Praet in the middle, he's played both as an 8 and 10 before, think we need his ability to pick a pass and create something.

[Pete Campbell]

Maybe Gray to start in this one after tonight?

...doubtful for Sunday!!!!

[brucey]

I imagine Youri will take the Madders attacking role, and Praet will take the slightly more withdrawn Youri role, as Praet has played more as a DM at his last club. Hopefully Praet is more up to speed with the pace and physicality of the Prem now, as he’s admitted to struggling with it initially.

[foxfanazer]

Massively confident of winning this one so we're definitely gonna lose 2-0

Was probably the thinking around playing Praet tonite, I know Newcastle have more quality and it will be better conditions, but the same premise of playing against a physical side sitting deep.

 

Getting him ready for the games we need him in to add that extra bit of creativity. 

Didn't he play the full 90 against Newcastle in the cup too? 

[Nicolo Barella]

Bit of a weird one for Evans to get 90 mins again. Benkovic to get his first appearance? Looks like Maddison shouldn't be risked either. 

 

Schmeichel

Ricardo Benkovic Soyuncu Chilwell

Praet Ndidi Tielemans 

Barnes

Vardy Perez

 

Would also take an Albrighton start over Barnes.

 

Ideally we get two goals in front, sub in Hamza and Albrighton for Tielemans and Barnes, and don't concede.  Can't see many teams getting past

Why would Evans not play??

 

or have I missed something?

[RowlattsFox]

If Maddison doesn't make it then play Perez behind Vardy. With Barnes, gray or albrighton either side. I like Praet but it's Newcastle at home, good opportunity to play two up front. Perez to get his first goal against Newcastle?

We were playing a beer league side and Evans is old and injury-prone?

I am up for a meet-up, but because they moved the game to Sunday 16:30 I won't be at this one. I'm a plastic I know . 

 

Are you going to the Burnley game?

Same  

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Same team as Spurs if Madders is fit, if not then bring Praet in. 

 

Attack. 

[brockmyster]

As much of a blow it is to possibly by missing Maddison, I think Praet is a more than capable replacement, looks a cracking player really impressed me whenever he's played. Really positive on the ball trying to go forward as often as he can, good movement and gets stuck in all in all really rounded. The link between him and Youri is a bonus too - all in all looking like a fantastic signing!

A very basic graphic of how I see Saturdays teams lining up, formation.

Well, he has a history of injury, 3 90 minutes in a week is a lot

They offer very little except for dogged resistance. We'll either get an early goal and stroll to victory, or labour to a 0-0.

If we put the same team out as we did against spurs, then Newcastle have no chance the only doubt is madders, not sure how bad the injury he picked up is

About time we gave a team a proper hiding. Long overdue.

Agreed 👍
