You're the manager for tonight.

Kasper

RDL

Konch

Moore

Wes

Mahrez

Cambiasso

Drinkwater

Schlupp

Vardy

Ulloa

Reasons:

Due to their relatively slow midfield of Gerrard, Allen and Henderson, the key for me is the need to make sure we deal with Sterling's pace and Coutinho's creativity.

Wes can deal with Lambert in the air, Moore/RDL to keep Sterling in check with his pace and Cambiasso to shadow Coutinho when we don't have the ball. Drinkwater is good enough to put Gerrard off his game when they've got possession. Danny should learn to be more of a nuisance when we don't have the ball – a bit like Muzzy used to do.

When we've got the ball we should have plenty to cause them trouble with Vardy's pace, Ulloa's threat in the box and Schlupp and Mahrez creating things.

2-1.

Have to disagree with being able to handle lambert in the air, we couldn't handle ourselves in the air.

I agree on the rest, 2-1 vardy with both.

Or wouldn't mind a drinkwater screamer to give us the faith back in him a bit

[J.Lisemore]

I bet Simpson doesn't even make the bench.

None of our fans have experience of managing in the premier league, nor have 100% survival rate from being bottom at November, you're going to upset a lot of people....

I think we'll be fine against Lambert - apart from set pieces. The sooner we ditch the zonal crap the better. Can't really believe Pearson, a former defender, is such a fan of it.

Problem is with the likes of coutinho and sterling I think they will be trying to get every free kick or set piece they can

[AKCJ]

4-3-3 like we did against United.

 

 

I swear we played a diamond against United.

 

Nugent behind Ulloa and Vardy.

Let's go back to man to man defending at set pieces which we defended fantastically well

[MrAus]

kasper

Simpson. Wes. Was Schlupp

James. Cambiasso

Albrighton Mahrez. Knockaert

Ulloa.

Hamer, Moore, Konchesky, King, Drinkwater, Vardy, Wood.

Change my mind about our team ever pay time I think of it.

De Laet needs to be dropped, and Konchesky, god awful at full back vs QPR.

If we're playing Ulloa, we might as well have 2 people out wide who can cross. Instead of 2 who can't really.

Also I'd play Schlupp on the basis that Sterling will swap swings and he can match him for pace, where as knonchesky will get absolutely blitzed by him.

Come on you blues.

Did you see us before the zonal marking... we were even worse.

[Clever Fox]

Do people seriously think De Laet can handle Sterling or Courtino coming at him. either of them will destroy him.

[J.Lisemore]

So de last starts and Simpson isn't even on the bench. My prediction was right then. Were going to be ripped apart down that right hand side unfortunately.
