I read that Hamza was been tried as a right back in training, wonder what happened to that idea.

FoxesTalk had a meltdown at the prospect, and since Brendan spends his evenings on here he decided never to try it again

Especially because he'll have Barnes in front of him. I'm a huge Banres fan but he leaves his fullback exposed at the best of times

Barnes will be upfront. We will play 5-3-2

Mate the team is a joke, the formation is a shocker. 99 per cent of fans could pick a better tram than this. We are at home in a must win game, and are fielding the slowest back 3 ever, effectively a back 7, and kelechi on bench? It's odd and yoh know it, it's not being miserable it's being real

99 per cent of fans think they can pick a better team than this.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Just like when Anna Nicole Smith married that old millionaire bloke, it's a stunning mixture of youth and experience - 5-0 TO THE CITEHHHHH

[foxoffderby]

Good luck Luke Thomas and the other young boys on the bench 

[Tuna]

Just heard the lineup...don't think anyone saw that coming.

 

Hope Thomas has a good debut, I know absolutely nothing about him 

 

Has he played any senior football at all even if it's a loan at Cheltenham?

 

Disappointed Nacho isn't starting.

[adam]

It's funny how all these injuries crop up when the going gets tough.

Back 4 to begin with 

Kasper (I suppose) 

 

Fuchs

Bennett

Evans

Justin

 

Ndidi

Tielemans 

 

Barnes

Iheanacho 

Perez

 

Vardy

Fuchs isn't in the squad so we must assume he's not fit, Bennett and Evans are playing.

Wow.

 

99% eh?

 

That's the spirit.

Who would you have picked in the back 3?

I wouldn't have a back 3, simples. Bennett and Evans or Wes and Evans at CB with Fuchs and Justin full backs

Perez won't be playing in a central 3

[The Horse's Mouth]

Morgan and Bennett overlapping centre backs?

We're not forced into playing a back 5. The two man midfield hasn't been working and now we'll be overloaded centrally and placing a lot of stress on two inexperienced wingbacks - I'd have been far happier with 4141 with Ndidi, Tielemans and Praet centrally

Too be honest it was that midfield that folded second half versus Bournemouth

Don't use academy graduates people moan, use academy  graduates people moan!

 

We are hamstrung by injuries, what do people expect miracles.....

There's a difference between blooding them into the team gradually and throwing them in to one of the biggest matches in modern times.

 

Feels a bit like Harey Worley mk. 2

You mean Fuchs who isn't even in the squad tonight?

Fuchs is clearly injured. Not even on the bench

And, like tonight, I always feared that one of them might die getting humped.

Pretty much true I'm guessing. I mean there are some proper wrong uns on here but football knowledge is fairly sound. 

[Vardinio'sCat]

Wesley Morgan to score... 1-0

Rodgers has shown his astute tactical abilities recently

[Captain...]

If you are going to pick a premier league strike force for Evans, Morgan, and Bennett to contend with it would be McBurnie and McGoldrick.

 

Good honest hard working players, but they are not going to jink past our defence or play intricate little passes, or be put off by a bit of rough housing.

He was probably red-carded

Fuchs not making a bench with three youth team players in the squad, clearly tells you he’s injured.

Big Bennett bullet header past the hapless Henderson BOSH
