In positive news we should never see Coady or Thomas appear for us again after today. 

It's a breathtaking line up. Had the leak not happened, I'd have been shell shocked reading that. 

 

Id go as far to say that the line up is upsetting. How on earth have we fallen so far to now be fielding a lad who looks  14/15 and failed to make Sheffield United's and Middlesbrough's trams last season?. 

 

We have Vesty, Mavididi, Hamza, Daka, VK, Skipp on the bench. Regardless of what you make of their individual abilities, they are each fit, strong athletes who any normal senior league manager could cobble together a cohesive PL team. 

 

It's absolutely astounding. And as you say, the only benefit is that some of the line up today will probably see their Leicester career ended

Must be an intentional plea to be sacked / paid out surely?

 

It's like a sabotage. 

 

If Thomas Frank could pick a team to beat, it would probably be that exact team.

Why not try something different we are on a run of a 1 draw in 5, having conceded 14 goals @ 2.8 goals per game.

Fine to try something different but I don't think Thomas is the answer. And only playing 3 proper attackers isn't the one either.

Why is El Khanouss not starting? He's far to good to be sat on the bench behind this start XI.

Agreed. He looked capable last game when loads didn't.

phew it’s going to be a long afternoon. 3 at the back is interesting so could be 5-2-2-1 and if we attack 3-4-2-1. But I’d be surprised if we get anything given Brentford’s fast starts and free scoring at home. 

I can’t see Soumare and Ndidi controlling or creating much, there’s a massive reliance on Facondo.

i'm not so negative about this selection, its 3-5-2. with coady you get leadership, ayew as an anchor man up front. 

we know it wasnt working before so we need to try these things and see if it works, we can always change it up in the second half

Thomas was good enough to win in an FA Cup final.

 

Just saying...

 

 

He wasn't good enough. He just played in a cup final. 

 

Actually watch what he does today. The only thing he will do is

 

receive the ball

Get closed down 

Quickly angle a pass back to the left centre half to get rid. 

 

That's it. Watch. I guarantee that's all he does.
