Yes... essential maintenance?

Can I just point out that the lads on the bench will not actually be on the footy pitch.

Maybe Hams as captain is to keep him half sensible and not get booked for a reckless moment

[Bazly]

I found a stream. Really good clear and stable picture. There are 30 players on the field, 64 minutes in and they are throwing around an oval ball. 

[Stuntman_Mike]

Pure drama that line up and I'm all for it 

 

If it's not going to plan we have the quality off the bench and if it's working we keep squad players happy and feeling involved. Perfect balance.

Strange to change a winning team so drastically but weirdly I trust it...

 

I just trust what Enzo is doing and it's a nice feeling! Even if we go on to lose, I like the fact he is happy to change things around to suit the opposition & circumstances. 

 

Hamza as captain is surprising but clearly must have shown some leadership qualities.

 

Would like to have seen Coady fit in somewhere though as I think his leadership will be very beneficial to an often Shakey back line.

 

Either way, I'm excited.

Yes.  You should see the starting eleven they've posted!!

[Number 6]

Squad depth is our ace in this division. No point waiting for injuries to use it. And we need all players to be able to come in and do a job so all need regular(ish) game time.

My guess would be 4 or 5 subs after 60 mins, which then forms core of next starters. That way players actually play equivalent of 2/3rds of a season, or 30ish games. Today is a good test of Enzos approach, just need to be in the game at 60 minutes, then..Boom.

[Guest nathan.]

One thing it does do is make every player feel involved.

Yes, it’s showing some crazy team selection, anyone got the real one?👀

[ramboacdc]

Absolute sods law my go to for Sky Sports has crapped it. 

 

Anyone got a stream site or just stream for this game that won't detonate the motherboard?

I'm having a problem with every fuching website. Stuck in deepest, wettest South Devon with no WiFi and very dodgy signal. Arrgghhhh! 

[Dahnsouff]

If we could rotate out KDH and Wilf, for  Yunus and Cesare without losing too much  umph, that would be some serious depth

[moore_94]

7 games in the 3 weeks between the 2 International breaks

 

Highly doubt we will see the same starting 11 back to back during it

[Lcfccon]

If Brendan did this I’d be up in arms but Enzo can literally do what he wants and I’ll still let him **** my wife. 

[ARM1968]

Well I think this could easily go one of two ways - which likely means a 3rd and slightly uninspiring option. 
 

Still, let’s maintain belief folks and go smash the Narch. 

[Guest BlueBrett]

If we can go away to Norwich and win having made changes like this we are officially too good for this division

[Mike Oxlong]

All the dropped players were at a hot tub party last night and Enzo wasn’t invited

Luxury mate. Try being in Wales. So wet here we can only swim at 20mph now.

I was thinking by giving him the armband he should come through with a more mature performance 

[fox_favourite]

I worry about our midfield...seems a bit light, and not played together. No idea how this is going to go. 

[trabuch]

Enzo has yet to earn my distrust. So I'm prepared to go along with him.

[Detroit Blues]

I'm not surprised. Man City heavily rotated last year until it was the final stretch of the season. It is wise for Leicester to use our superior depth as an advantage while the rest of the league tries to trot out the same starting XI for 46 league matches.

 

[Bryn]

Not surprised he's rested a few, Ricardo was always going to need to be managed.
