It barely matters who he picks now , its whether they are prepared to fight for their PL lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He's_Magic Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 On the plus side... Eddie Howe wouldn't have prepared his team to face that. Not that it will make any different mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmono84 Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Happy to see 3 at the back and 2 up top but how does Tielemans start again! Also why not Mendy for Ndidi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmcla26 Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Gonna need Iheanacho magic, 2015/16 Vardy, Tielemans wonder striker and Souttar header from a corner to give us half a chance against these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beepee1984 Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Team Selection Thinking - Dean Smith's Master Plan Notepad Keep the worst midfield 3 we have seen all season - tick Devoid the team of any creativity, don't want them getting any ideas - tick Lets get Souttar - Faes - Castagne play offside with each player taking it in turns playing 5 yards further back - tick Pick the oldest striker I can find - tick Play the worst goalkeeper I can find - wait Ward refuses to play he is already shaking, oh well maybe this plan will work without him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dames Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Not learned a thing. That midfield will get outrun and outworked. We are as good as down now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oadby.fox Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Sudden exclusion and inclusion of Souttar is a bit odd. That midfield is horrendous. Mendy or KDH has to be in there for me, or perhaps both ideally with Tielemans taking the other spot. Also would’ve been tempted to start Kelechi if fit enough, perhaps in place of Maddison or move Maddison into a deeper role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 I approve of the 3 CB strategy. But not the chosen LWB or midfield trio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfanlee23 Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Souttar in midfield sounds wild but hey, John Stones has been a revelation since being able to drift forward into the midfield at City so who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS78UK Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 Soutter I 100% understand, need someone at the back that can actually defend against corners. Glad Nacho returns! But what the heck is that midfield....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 It doesn’t matter what team we put out, they’ve all been shite. So I don’t really care who is or isn’t in the 11 at this point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
