I was on a flight to Barcelona at the exact time of that game completely blanked that game, how about my edited question? 

 

[Guest Cujek]

i hope we smash these and get the push to the end of the season well and truly on the go.

[Beachyboy]

Last run of 8 was Villa away, next start of the rut was Norwich at Home, im convinced the next 2 games will show us its come full circle.

Immature moron and thick.....and you have never met me.....comments made with absolutely no idea about who you are talking to....have a nice day TJB, I will.

 

Thank you though, i’m sure you will have a cracking day mate, because I’ve just nominated you for supporter of the year because you went to the Man City game! 

[Beachyboy]

Its only really 3 results Southampton, Burnley and Norwich that felt like dropped points. 

[foxy boxing]

These are the games we need to be winning, yes they are fighting for their Premier League lives but we need to consolidate third place.

Please keep this 3 at the back and 2 up top system. I think we are much more threatening. 

Not with Fuchs though,  his poor positioning was the reason we conceded against Man City

 

Great player but not a CB.

I would start Vardy and Barnes , if they haven't done the business by 60 mins. hook them and bring on Iheanacho and Perez . Pep is quite prepared to rotate his strike force we should do the same.

Vardy & Iheanacho looked good for the first 45.

Vardy & Barnes didn't for the second 45.

Why would you go with two different pairings but at no point try Vardy & Iheanacho.

Vardy and Barnes can spring the offside trap with their pace , Iheanacho and Perez create space for each other in tight situations .

[Poiseuille]

Controversial but:

 

Kasper

 

Ricardo

Soyuncu

Evans

Bennett

Fuchs

 

James

 

Praet

Maddison 

 

Vardy

Kelechi

Won't be a walk in the park. Liverpool had to work hard for their 1-0 away win. It could be more difficult than many imagine.

[Spudulike]

I'll be watching on the telly and I won't be happy if they keep referring to 'City'.

Vardy & Barnes did very little as a pairing on Saturday.

I could understand changing Vardy & Nacho to Perez and Nacho after 60 minutes, what I don't understand, and you've failed to answer, is why if you want a front two you're not starting with Vardy & Nacho?

[BenTheFox]

Shame I can't go to this one. Otherwise I'd have gone dressed as Alan Partridge. Sorry, not sorry.

Well for me Harvey Barnes is a striker , like Vardy he does drift wide but his best channel is closer to the box. Iheanhacho and Perez are much more effective centrally. The latter two have shown that they read each other very well.

Think this'll be a draw sadly. Fingers crossed there's no match fixing.

I think you are very optimistic with your second sentence

You still haven't explained why you wouldn't start with Vardy & Iheanacho who I thought looked good in the first 45.

I haven't disagreed over whether Perez or Barnes are better as strikers than wide players.

They are very different in style and over the last couple of years have struggled to form an understanding. Of course occasionally it has worked but not too often. Barnes's style is much closer to Vardy's.

[Ric Flair]

4-1-4-1 if Ndidi is back fit and the usual 4 of Barnes, Tielemans, Maddison and Perez. If Ndidi is still unfit then I would stick with 3-5-2 with the team that started vs Man City but Justin in for Chilwell as i'm bored to tears of him.

Well Iheanacho has hardly played for the last 12 months.

Aren't you better playing with two strikers with differing styles i.e. the old one big one one small one? A slight simplification I know but Vardy looked a lot better on Saturday in the first half.

How and why is he still getting picked ffs.

 

Are they afraid if he’s dropped his value will decrease?

 

It makes no sense that train of thought however, as seeing him play would surely be doing that anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

I thought Vardy and Barnes threatened Chelsea when they pushed up . Iheanacho and Perez cause more problems when teams sit back. Norwich will probably push up so Vardy and Barnes could be dangerous.
