West Ham home. Tuesday night.

Faes dropped! 

[ronnup]

Coady though... 

[Lionator]

Kasey playing should take some pressure off the defence as he can actually track back and defend. 

[grth2004]

McAteer back starting makes me

happy. Hope he takes his chance as I believe we have a good player given a chance.

He’s dropped Faes which means he has eyes

But playing Soumare which means he wants to gouge them out.

[kingpower]

Last chance saloon for Coady 

Ive all but written him off, let’s see if he can prove me wrong

Not sure that Coady in is quite the victory we're hoping for.

[cityfanlee23]

Not sure about dropping Mavididi, but dropping Faes is huge, playing El Khannouss as an attacking midfielder also positive. Take this tbh. 

[lfu]

Choudhury not even in the squad, so much for the lineup leaker's credibility 😂

[RowlattsFox]

 we are doomed aren't we...

 

I like having youthful energy around Vardy. But **** me that midfield 2 and centre backs. 

 

[StevieH]

Lacking pace at the back with Vesty and Coady.

[westernpark]

Would have liked to of seen Vestegaard and Okoli but overall happy with the lineup.

[Sunbury Fox]

Don't understand McAteer starting over Mav. Really not sure what is going on with the latter.

Deary me, that line up is borderline self sabotage 

People say this whoever is picked. With Ricardo, Winks and Fatawu out, we've lost the core of our best team so will look crap whatever.

 

He's dropped Faes which is a winner.

He’s barely put a good performance in all year

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Think we might have to acknowledge that we don't have any winning combination in defence. Hit shuffle on that and it'll still be shite.

 

Soumare is crap, but pleased El Khannouss and Facundo are starting together. could be shit but intrigued by it

[It'sblueupnorth]

That defence is absolutely minging 😂😂😂

Absolute shite through the middle there. He needs to get rid of Dawson’s mob who know FA

[cityfanlee23]

Hopefully the defensive structure work we've been doing comes in handy, we desperately need it tonight. Happy he's shaking a few things up, but the CB/CM combo is dodgy

[MancFox24]

I don't think there's a combination of players we can pick which doesn't have the Championship written all over it

McAteer can competently play LW and RW

Mavididi plays LW

Al Khannouss plays LW and CAM

Buonenotte plays RW and CAM

 

Ruud wants a pressing 10 to join Vardy in his 442, that's Buonenotte at 10. Thus McAteer RW.

[phildw]

Joke of a line up. Talk about putting  himself under pressure on game 1. This will be a heavy defeat. 

[coolhandfox]

Hope we aren't playing a high line.

 

Interested to see how he constructs his 3-box-3.

Maybe his change in tactics won't make them as vulnerable

Give the guy a chance
