About time he got a rest  

[Kopfkino]

Are Evans and Castagne injured? Brendan said everyone that was fit traveled but again two GKs on the bench and only 8 subs.

He is?

Just me getting pissed off with people who still can't correctly spell the name of one of our own players.

What makes it worse is that it's in a huge font at the start of the thread.

So must all the play our strongest shouters.

 

A very odd mix of players.

[Ric Flair]

Huge game for Choudhury tonight, time he put in a performance. He has been diabolical in 2020.

Can't wait til fans are back to hear this one in action.

I like how we have the versatility of JJ, Albrighton and Fuchs in the announced XI so that it keeps us guessing on the line up!

Thanks for the information, Strider.

 

Interesting lineup.  No Mendy, no Barnes, slower and older defense.  I am still optimistic, as always.

 

Up the Foxes!

Well I would say that with JJ and Fofana you have options to cover for a lack of pace at the back.

 

For me the biggest risk is Choudhury over Mendy, but I think it's good that Castagne and Mendy are given breaks as they have played a lot. 

[Aesc]

Excited for this, LOVE US BEING IN EUROPE!

[AKCJ]

Should be too much for Athens. Still need to be on it tonight though.

[GeorgeTheFox]

Happy with that! Choudhury to have a big game to shut everyone up.. class player

[UHDrive]

Not a great starting 11 and would rather have the best team on the pitch for 60 minutes and then sub them.

 

Hopefully it's a 4-1-4-1 formation. Dont want the players losing sight of who we really are.

There are no centre backs on the bench at all! If one gets injured, Fuchs will have to have to play as a centre back. Though he might well do that anyway with Thomas coming on late in the game. We can make 5 subs and would expect us to use that many if we have a clear lead.

[Les-TA-Jon]

I, for one, am very happy to see 2 keepers on the bench again - absolute travesty we only had 1 vs Arsenal

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

There was reports Mendy was injured although Brendan said in interview that no fresh injury concerns.

 

We should have enough to win the game. Nacho deserves minutes today at some point especially after a good showing from him last Thursday.

 

 

 

[Larry_LCFC]

Let's be honest,Choudhury is just a bit of a bomb scare at times. He makes some really really amateur mistakes.

[Brooksy]

Under's gonna boss it tonight

Put them in a box 

[FoxesWalk]

Looks like 343 to me, usually the order we list the team is pretty good indicator. 
 

Nacho arguably hard done by, again.
