Feel bad for Kangasniemi, McFarlane, Kamari Doyle and Bristric.

 

Brought in by a club that just throws shit at a wall and sees what sticks in terms of transfers.

Doyle had a fantastic season for Reading last year, but can't make the bench

Keep forgetting about Doyle. 
 

Having 7 subs is proper shit because players you actually want to see miss out for the likes of Faes, Thomas, Reid & Burns 

7 subs isn't the problem it's the club's obsession with players that aren't good enough.

[Stuntman_Mike]

Martin did say Faes was a great human being and a fantastic pro, so it's no surprise seeing him back in as he didn't get a move..

[jammie82uk]

Is this the 3rd game in the row where players not included in the previous games squad has been in the starting 11 

[jimsmallman]

Once I’d stopped laughing / crying about Faes being picked…

 

McFarlane and Bristic have obviously been bad lads and are having an example made of them. 
 

It is at least semi positive that the three most undroppable players in the team are Page, Braybrooke and Alves. And Lundstram as captain is a good shout. 
 

I hate that Faes is playing but I’m also glad Souttar has been dropped as he’s been garbage. 
 

Has Kanga been called up for any of the Finnish sides for the break? I presume Doyle isn’t up to speed yet. 
 

Willing to bet that Thomas keeps finding ways to ensure McFarlane is late for training. 

[hejammy]

Fuch me is it 2024 again

 

Faes and Thomas in the lineup makes me want to 

[Stevosevic]

Let’s be honest Souttar has been poor all season. Rightly dropped regardless of who comes in. 

[coolhandfox]

Competition for places isn't a bad thing.

 

We have lacked it for years.

 

We play in EFL trophy next week as they aren't move for international break so there will be plenty of minutes to share around.

Yes under 21’s 

[GrobyLCFC31]

 

Wout Faes frozen out and then back in the lineup

Saving them for the big one on Tuesday 

[JimJams]

Worra bench!

[The Doctor]

so glad we dropped McFarlane so Thomas could continue to get rinsed by any winger with working legs...

Yeah I know I just meant whilst only having 7 subs it makes it worse because of that 

[UniFox21]

Bristric and Mcpharlane must have been proper tossers to be out the squad for this long.

[brookfox]

“Start date 2315.36.7. I’ve checked the team news and Thomas and Faes are somehow still starting for LCFC”

Very odd he's not getting a look in. 

Allegedly turned down Bodo and a chance to play in the UCL to join us. He must be regretting that life choice. 

[fox_favourite]

It'll be such a Leicester thing to do to keep a cleansheet today with Faes in defence 

[jimsmallman]

Even if we had nine subs someone would miss out. 
 

We have managed to shift 20 or something players and the squad feels more competitive than it has done for a while. Albeit obviously at a much lower level. Nice preparation for when Seagrave knackers everyone and they all join Chaplin, Nelson and Jakub.

Rightly dropped yes, but not regardless of who comes in I'm afraid. Faes should be nowhere near the club and after all the rimming the higher ups did over a window well done the fact he's still turning out for us is absolutely shambolic.

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Faes does make sense - Souttar has struggled with the athletic demands of Martin’s system; Faes profile is a better fit for what he’s after.

 

Still, I primarily checked in for the reaction!

Alves getting zero forward passes let alone support.

What’s he after, another twat that can’t defend? 

[mozartfox]

I assume there will be many changes for the EFK Trophy game next mid-week.

 

Today could blow up in Martin’s face with this selection. Where is JJ?

[trooky]

Must win for Martin, with a much better defensive performance required.
