Roads are a joke in Naples, crawling traffic

 

3 buses of Leicester fans, we will very likely miss kick off

Self preservation, society. Peel the Minis out the back of the bus

4231 for Napoli

 

 

Spent ages thinking it was clearly a 3-4-3 but then realised it's Meret the goalkeeper playing and not Malcuit the right back.

[Finnegan]

That's appalling tbh. 

 

We're all talking about how we need pace and energy and to press from the front and he picks four central midfielders. 

 

Not the night for KDH. Get Albrighton there charging about at them ffs.

I'd say KDH is more energetic than Albrighton myself.

[Dahnsouff]

Narrow 4-3-3. Win.

[Harry96]

Yh no excuses after looking at that Napoli side. No koulibally Insigne osimhen Fabian or anguissa. Even Mertens is on the bench

Looks like 433 with Maddison at RW. Napoli themselves play a 433.

 

The last time we chose a line-up to mirror an opponents setup was against Chelsea who play a 343...  

Sounds better than this shit. Dafuq is that?

[adejo92]

Right, sod it, I'm going to stick my neck out and say we'll win this one.

 

Not just win, I think we'll actually dominate the majority of play.

 

3-0.

 

Napoli are on a bad run and are missing some key players. I think we'll come out fighting for this one.

That is a defeat if we play like that. The full backs will get battered. 

[Finnegan]

You know the irony of this lineup is that Bertrand has been picked because Rodgers thinks he's our "defensive" full back. Christ. 

 

I just don't get why you pick a negative team here. Their lineup is appalling, they've lost more people than we have and they looked really vulnerable in their last game.

A point gets us through and he'll play for that as long as possible I reckon.

 

We're definitely chasing the game late on.

I mean more because of the difference it'll make to the shape. 

 

This is either going to be a diamond or Madders at RW and either is poor for pressing. This is going to be a low block, zero risk job. 

[Vindaloo FOX]

BR is a brave man putting this team out.

Yeah this is 100% the plan. He's absolutely Roy Hodgson'd it. 

 

If ever attack has been the best form of defence it was today.

I'd say it's more likely to be a low block zero risk job playing Albrighton ahead of KDH.

[WigstonWanderer]

Don’t like the look of this selection. Unbalanced.

His hands are fairly tied to be fair to him.

[moore_94]

LCFC TV has it as 433 with Maddison right wing

I think thsts a strong team he has put out ,happy with that 

[Scotch]

I reckon it's a diamond. 

[South Shire Fox]

The lack of pace in that side is frightening. Please tell me Maddisons not going to be played on the wing, it hasnt worked the numerous times before and wont work again

[KingsX]

how fivethirtyeight sees our chances

 

 

 

p.s. there's going to be some of you way ahead of our CBS stream ... hope I can remember to stay a couple minutes behind on this thread ...

A win a win please get us a win
