Would of liked to see a back 4 with barnes and under on the wings. 

Agree

Think Justin and Thomas will be playing high up, more like a 3-1-4-1-1. Let's see how it goes before the major overreaction.

Okay. We’ll wait

They will be camped in their own box all game. We won't get any use out of Barnes or Gray. Or whoever you think is missing.

Well we could do with someone who can open them up, why Rodgers or fans on here think Praet can create openings whilst attempting to play an advanced position is beyond me

[Big Dave]

Yay, 4 central midfielders

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

It's just too conservative. There's a lack of attacking mobility in that line up. To me that line up only works with the WB being blinding and really pushing on. The lads are good but they are no Riccy P!! Vards will end up isolated unless both Madders and Praet have good games. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Not what I'd do but I'm not paid 6 figures a week to make the decisions. 

[Nuneatonfox in Manchester]

I just hope he will change it as and when required. Please don’t leave until 60-70 mins

Yep but Evans clearly isn't. Hes much better in a 4. 

[weller54]

Fulham have put the wind up Brendan!😂

[adam]

Very negative. A Southgate special.

Fulham are are about 20 levels below Wolves.

We used to destroy cannon fodder at home under Rodgers playing 4-1-4-1, bar that defeat to Newcastle early on in his reign we won pretty much every game until we played Norwich. I'm baffled by this from him.

[whoareyaaa]

think we will win but we should take a leaf out of Man Citys book against teams like this an attack them with pace and trickery (Barnes / Under etc..)

[Paninistickers]

No complaints. I don't  mean it nastily, but I'll just be  glad when Thomas is nowhere near the first team for now. 

 

I.like having elite players all over the place and right now, he's understandably not at that point

[AKCJ]

Just seen they've got Ruben Loftus Cheek so thats us ****ed. Turns into prime Zidane whenever he plays us.

[lnkstern]

Optimistic bus ticket, party of one, boarding!

 

I do not have enough expertise to analyze lineups, I just hope we will find some inspiration and goals.

 

COYB!

 

[Sampson]

Wasn't expecting him to start, but I was hoping Castagne would at least be fit enough for the bench.

[deanolegend1989]

Exactly as suspected. Very negative and I’m not happy about is formation one bit.

 

I just don’t understand, we played Liverpool last week didn’t we? Must be playing Chelsea or Bayern Munich tonight then, oh wait..

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

I said in an early thread that this would happen. Rogers has become fully regressive. Namely don't lose first, attack 2nd. He will feel entirely vindicated in his new formula as look at the results to date. But it's soooooo boring BR!!!

[Finn Claw II]

Hopefully Justin and Thomas will push right up creating space in the middle.

 

would rather 4 at the back. 

[Dan]

Too negative for me. Got to hope we get a penalty.

In these sort of games, I di prefer Barnes to come on after, say, 60 minutes when the game is usually opened up a little.

He seems more effective than getting him clogged up in a sticky defensive mess.

 

Thats fine as long as the first 60 minutes there's been other attacking threat but in that set up where is it? Vardy might as well have the first 60 mins off too and just come on if we get a peno or when Barnes and Ünder get involved.

And we're currently about 3 hours away from potentially being top of the league having qualified from our Europe group. All without 4/5 of our best players.

 

Perspective required I reckon.

[Dahnsouff]

Big on creativity, low on Foxestalk approval.
 

Sign me up!!!

[Finn Claw II]

It is worth noting that a win and we are joint top so not all doom and gloom
