No Bertrand in the matchday squad, but perhaps not surprising since he played on Thursday and is still getting over COVID it seems

Or there could be another reason!

Iheanacho has played a lot of football recently. But bringing in Lookman and Barnes to link up with Vardy in attack is a good move. 

 

 

He not had a lot of impact to be fair, as well as playing a lot. 

[st albans fox]

So is madders not fit enough to start OR is brendan fixated on a clean sheet so playing wilf and bouba (surely not or would be five atb) ??

 

maybe against leeds he feels he needs more legs than madders gives him 

 

 

[surrifox]

Riccy and Timmy is a great combination 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Lovely starting lineup, bench looks strong too and we've still got 2 first teamers to come back. 

 

1-0 Leeds then.

Big dan hard done by.  He has been our best CB for the last month. Cags keeps getting drawn in and beat.

FS, Ndidi wasted in defence, Barnes and Lookman wasted as WB’s. 

[Jakemoore]

Yeah harsh on big Dan as many have said but he can’t play at LCB and he isn’t starting in front of Johnny Evans. Come on!!!

[TrentFox]

4-3-3 ? 

[Farrington fox]

Madders still ill?

[StanSP]

Choudhury not on the bench.

 

He must be off to Man Utd

[Lesta2014]

Formation built for counter attacking, Barnes lookman and soumare driving forward. Play with the pace today and we get a result

Can't fault him for trying everything to get us firing, leaving no stone unturned 

See to be honest, he's done it a few times this season. Right when I've been thinking we need to change the system, he has. 5321, 442, 433, 4231.... but the problem is, regardless of the formation, we still play the same, slow laborious, boring style. 

 

It's not the formation that in the issue, it's the playing style.

Soyuncu is also usually much better in a 4 than a 5, fingers crossed

Looks like 4-3-3.

 

Ndidi back is good. 

 

 

 

The team I suggested pre- match, no excuses

Kasper

 

Ricardo - Soyuncu - Evans - Castagne

 

Ndidi

Soumare - Tielemans

 

Lookman - Vardy - Barnes

 

Given form and fitness, that’s probably as good as we can put out right now 🤞

[Will1981]

Harsh on Amartey.

[Buzzell]

Very happy with that lineup.

Director of football

[Gunnlaugson's Rizlas]

Will be difficult to get a result away at Leeds without Albrighton, but I’ve still got a good feeling about today. 

[Mark]

Back four, Ricardo, wingers and no Maddison can’t complain with that

I didn't want to be accused of digging him out 😉 But yes, I have a feeling Rodgers comments the other day about...effort...tracking back may have applied to him 👀
