Thought it would be interesting to have a thread for the best starting 11 to see how it changes as people leave and arrive. 

 

Hopefully come Brentford we will have a complete different picture.    

 

Currently for me: 

 

                          Kasper

Ricardo    Fofana           Evans       Justin

                             Wilf

                   Youri           KDH

     Mads                                  Barnes

                             Goat

 

 

Despite the lack of activity and an out of position mads... Its hard not to like that 11

Iversen

 

Castagne

Faes

Evans

Justin

 

Tielemans

Ndidi

KDH

 

Maddison

Vardy

Barnes

 

(Ricardo in at RB, when fit, with TImmy over to LB)

Need Ricardo back ASAP. Justin deserves benching after Man U.

You have to think of Barnes as a striker now really but for too many they have winger locked in their brains. Our forwards and midfielders should move far better off the ball to provide width. Too often they remain static.

Thanks for letting me know that Barnes is now a striker.

 

Just when I thought nothing else could get any weirder.

His principal job is to put the ball in the net so how do you describe him?

We need to play this midfield 3. They were key to our success and KDH as much as most fans love him because of his Leicester connection, he’s just so limited and not good enough.

Youri looks lost being more to the right, Wilf looks lost at CB and Madders looks lost on wide right. If all these 3 are played correctly they are as good a 3 as any in the league. It’s so simple.

Same with Cags, he’s not great but he’s far far better then Amarty and unfortunately evans is too slow. Full backs pick themselves imo.

Barnes has to play. RW we havnt really got anyone I’d play but I’d rather play Perez to get our middle 3 in position rather than playing a mish mash of no one knowing wtf they are doing.

Vs Man Utd was clear as any other game that it wasn’t the lack of quality on the pitch but the lack of any cohesive play because the manager has completely lost the plot.

The only decision for me is Vardy or Nacho. I really rate Nacho and Vardy looks like he’s finally slowing down and needs it on a plate which we can’t give. Nacho is a quality underrated player and I’d happily play him up top alone even if that’s not his best role.

The KDH has created a problem really,  he has kind of made himself undroppable,  but he could quite easily come on as an impact sub ??  Throughout the season, he has made the formation confusing for Brendan....

Thing is we have no viable rhs attacker, so we move Maddison to that spot, and KDH can stay in the three in the middle of the park

No that's not correct. Wingers support forwards/strikers with assists as their main role.

100% agree about that midfield 3 playing in their favourite roles.

Iversen (just something about ward i don't fancy)

It really shouldn't be confusing for Brendan, he's paid millions to make the decision. If BR thinks we are out of balance due to KDH and we'd play better without him he should be dropped. I like KDH, but I'd support Brendan in making winning decisions.
