Tielemans will move further up surely?

Predicting six minutes of stoppage time.

Are you trying to trigger our PTSD?

Bringing Mendy on for Maddison and going double pivot for 30 minutes is inviting trouble. 

It's annoying watching a game you're in control of start to slip away, isn't it.

[OadbyBlue]

Hopefully Ndidi won’t be moved to centre back

[filbertway]

What a performance from Harvey today.

 

Hate this sub

[Hales]

Close Vards

[Dahnsouff]

Kel in the hole ffs

[Sly]

Great first touch from Mendy 

[NaijaFox]

WHY MENDY?

Does this mean Youri would push further upfield?

 

Oops, don’t worry. Change of plans. 

[Bourbon Fox]

I have a feeling that the game's in the balance at this point

[volpeazzurro]

With two villa players on yellow and fielding a weak side, why bring Mendy on? Iheanacho at least, give them something to think about, far too negative. 

[Tielemans63]

Bollocks, losing Madders is big.

[HighPeakFox]

Come on Papy, do us proud. 

[oadby.fox]

Would prefer Hamza over Mendy for this one just because of the energy he offers tbh

[blabyboy]

Lovely pass by Barnes on the outside of the right foot. Vards just needs one of those to go in now..

[Pliskin]

Madders has to come off, but I’m unsure of bringing Mendy on, are we just looking at sitting in for the rest of the game? 

[whoareyaaa]

never make it easy do we

[StanSP]

Hopefully just precautionary he's being taken off so as not to risk more damage. 

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see Kelechi on soon to manage our players for Thursday and Sunday.

We're in total control of the midfield, makes sense to try and maintain that control, I guess.

I suspect this is because the plan is to pull Vardy for Nacho very soon

[HitchinFox]

As much as I love Mendy, I don't like this sub. 

 

Creativity drained with both Ndidi and Mendy on.

We don’t have another attacking midfielder to step in for Maddison

[SpacedX]

Tielemans has become a really strong tackler/winner of the ball

Target Luiz, he’s been second to every ball today and is asking for a second yellow. 

Get Barnes at Their fullback too
