Nice. Good options in the bench too. Don’t get the twitter meltdown on Gabbi. It’s not like his goal rate is far superior to Long who always works his socks off and at least creates space for others
Hmmm no Gab and no Armstrong at home. Not sure this is attacking enough to get through leicester. Hope i am wrong
Bednarek, Yoshida and Gabbiadini were all put through fitness tests just before the teams were announced. I assume they were just not risked.
I am guessing Gabbi would have started if fit. If not, the decision to start Long is leftfield in the extreme...
He creates plenty by stretching a defence and getting in behind, just maybe Danny and Mo El might benefit.
I'm guessing long is there to try and keep the ball forward as he's more physical than our other forwards and can draw fouls and such as well as press them into putting it out or clearing it long to hoedt and vestegaard. why no yoshi?. not the team i would have gone with but will give it a chance. lots of pace there, could be end to end stuff.
