No Tavares in the squad? 

 

His biological father (Ricardo Flairo) has given up and shopped him to Benfica.

Switch Pérez and Nacho for Maddison and Barnes and that’s a full strength XI

Justin not impressing you?

[danny2997]

Not sure on playing Pérez instead of Tavares tbh, seems a little all or nothing in terms of attacking or defending. Effectively playing 3 upfront. 

[Jonezy]

Starting 11 looks good. Bench not so much. No Tavares or Praet in the squad is a bit strange.

 

Hoping we turn up and maybe even start to get Vardy going again. 

[The Guvnor]

Just as I expected Vards nd Nacho with Perez carrying out the number 10 role. Perez asked for the chance, now for fuchs sake show us what you can do.

[oxtonfox]

No doubt Brendan looking for a good start then his only option is to shore up the defence if he needs to. Put it this way there’s not much in an attacking sense on the bench. 

[Langston]

Probably the most balanced side we could put out tbh. Reasonably strong at first glance and at the very least it's round pegs in round holes.

[Fox in the North]

That team should be enough to get a result.

3-4-1-2 I presume with Perez behind the front two.

 

Castagne and Ricardo are further up the pitch and at least one centre-back will have the freedom to bring the ball out.

 

Plenty of attacking threat in that team.

Yeah thats how I read it too.

[Ric Flair]

Not surprising that Praet isn't yet considered, given he's only started full training this week after over 2 months out.

[lcfcsnow]

Why when we can name 9 subs are they all defensive?

Make a choice though, Justin or Ricardo?

[lcfc sheff]

Just because a defender scores a goal doesn’t mean he should start the next game when the three other centre backs are 10 times the player.

Very tough on big Dan. 

It is, but he knows he's a squad player.  If Jonny Evans is back he'll drop to the bench.

 

I'm actually pleased to see a back 5 as it allows us to play with two strikers and think Nacho is the man looking most likely to score at the moment.

 

[Ric Flair]

Everyone saying " state of that bench " it's the same bench as last week pretty much. What do people expect, we have zero creative or attacking players available outside who's starting. 

 

Tavares seems to be injured 😫😫

[winteriscoming]

Would of preferred a back 4. Strong starting XI. Not expecting much off the bench. 

[South Shire Fox]

Hope we wont need to look to the bench in an attacking perspective later in the game 😂 My eyes 

[goody2028]

Like the look of this team. Usually only means one thing though…

Who's not on there who is an attacker that's available?

 

We have fcuk all in the academy in attack who are even remotely ready.

Injuries and no decent dev squad subs I assume.

Both. On left side prefer Justin to Tim 

[HighPeakFox]

Lots of players on that bench I like. Some of you need a word with yourselves.

[Lesterlad]

That can’t be far off the team that will face United in Cup next week. Maybe Praet for Perez if fit but not much different unless we have another 3 injuries today

Perez likely to get the usual amount of abuse.

Hope he doesn't let it get to him
