Leicester vs Zorya Luhansk match thread

[420Hashish]

Looks like the stress from the Villa game really took a toll on Fofana.

I actually wouldn't mind that. It would be nice to have Barnes to pair with Iheanacho up top. He could make Vardy like runs behind the defense and allow Iheanacho drops deep into pockets of space.  

It's what I'm hoping for, too, given the line-up, but we'll see....

Diamond would match up to how Zorya play.

Matching up worked well last two games, why not let teams worry about us?

I’ve heard of all of them.

European games tend to be 1 hour and 15 minutes before these days, not sure why

Nope - don't like that formation.

No 30 is Shevchenko.

 

Maybe not the famous one.

 

 

[filbertway]

Maddison  out wide? Thomas doesnt even make the squad. 

 

Fuchs doesnt have the legs to get up and down so a diamond makes no sense. 

 

Interesting

2 keepers on the bench...

 

Poor Brendan. Woe is me! 

[Stinkenzo]

With our injury problems lately would you really put it past Schmeichel and Ward getting injured? Genius call by Rodgers fair play

Strong line up from them

No 45 is Pob not the famous one

[lgfualol]

Two goalkeepers on the bench must be Rodgers taking the piss, unless he thinks we can sub one in to go in goal with Schmeichel when we need a goal

[mozartfox]

No big Wes? Rogers out.

[EnderbyFox]

Thought this would be a perfect opportunity to chuck Under in, please don't be Maddison out wide. 

[Devonfox1884]

Thought we could name 9 subs in this? Seems like we’ve only named 8, and 2 of them are keepers

[BKLFox]

Could it be 3 @ the back with Barnes as a LWB Timmy on right Mendy cover leaving the 3 in the middle to interchange feeding Nacho

[ronnup]

Castagna will be well forward and Maddison will be cutting in a lot id say 

[Dr The Singh]

No Amartey no party

Thought Luke Thomas would be on the bench, possibly with one or two other youngsters...

Doesn't make sense to block a loan move for him and then not put him in the squad ahead of two sub goalkeepers, just halting his progress.

none of the offensive midfielder is left footed, right?

I mentioned this earlier in the thread, that the opposition play a diamond and we might match them given we’ve played that way before. 
 

Could easily be Barnes and Nacho up top with the diamond behind them, which would explain Under not starting. I’d actually prefer diamond to 4141 if it means Maddison wide right as that’s not his best position. He’s great as a 10 or 8 type of player.

Hasn't Praet played on the right recently? I'm sure he played there against Man City.

Right, now that I realize that
