So 5 at the back?

Why do we need 5 at the back against a team that is bottom of the league?

[messerschmitt]

I'm more worried about being done by dodgy refereeing decisions against us. After watching Everton v Burnley and seeing the 2 pens that didn't get given you know that something far less obvious is going to be given against us.

[justfoxes]

Great team selection an attacking front line great defence with a decent line up on the bench if needed to change around at half time ?

still going for a foxes win amazing if Vardy to gets on the scoring run we all know how capable he is of going on 1 goal will get his confidence up to crack on  !

The price of a Sheffield double today 35/1, Wednesday to beat Norwich and United to beat us looked attractive this morning. Even more so now.... 

Nothing to do with us I hope. it's currently the second half at Hillsborough and Wednesday are winning.

Because our wide options are limited?

 

Or do you want us to play 433?

We don’t, I was querying an assertion than Ricky and Timmy should not be deployed as WBs

[Buce]

 

4-0 City: Vardy (2), Nacho, Ricardo.

 

Over as a contest by half time.

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

A back 4 would probably mean playing Thomas and Albrighton instead of Soyunchu and Perez, if Evans, Castagne and Ricardo play well it should negate the weaknesses seen recently within the formation while allowing arguably our strongest available 11 all to play, we can switch it up without making substitutions.

From what I've seen of Burke he's quite pacy and direct, can see him finding some gaps if our past performances with three CB's are anything to go by.

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

Who would you have instead, that's fit enough? 

[HighPeakFox]

I'm not sure what surprises me more - that people cannot understand the reasons for deploying a 3 or that they continue to be shocked when all the pointers are/were towards using a 3.

Disgusting

 

The Bench Shows we are going vor a 5-0 win, then defend it to the last man,with Albrighton Popping up to create the 6th..

[SheppyFox]

No subs please Brendan, any injuries just crack on with 10 men ffs.

Call it three at the back then.

 

It allows two up front and Ricardo and Castagne will be providing attacking width.

 

[Spudulike]

Complacency could be our undoing today. Fast start required.

How refreshing, during the build up to our game Sky are talking about Arsenal and Spurs

Great defensive team when needed  especially when Sharpe & Norbert are on the attack, then Ricardo & Castagne can go bombing down the wings to cause mayhem to the Utd defence shoot or feed Vards  !

[rachhere]

Hopefully we can get a comfortable lead here and bring on Leshabella at some point to see how he gets on.
