Good move from Leicester and a brilliant ball in from Fuchs sees Iheanacho with a chance with another header, but he gets it all wrong. Unlucky.
3-0. Choudhury pounces on a defensive mistake and slots the ball home in front of the many City fans. (87)
Well the club are screening the Stoke game but not the Rotherham game which they will just cut the highlights So from that I think a stronger side will go to Stoke Rotherham will have Daniel Iversen in goal for them. Cant see us blocking him playing against us in a friendly
Ah right. I’m off to the Rotherham one as it’s my most local ground and I haven’t been to it before (last time I went to Rotherham away was the Don valley in Sheffield). It’ll be good to see some different faces play anyway
We have 37 players who would need registering to play Goalkeepers: Kasper Schmeichel, Danny Ward, Eldin Jakupovic Full-backs: Ricardo Pereira, Ben Chilwell, Christian Fuchs, Callum Elder Centre-backs: Wes Morgan, Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, Caglar Soyuncu, Filip Benkovic, Sam Hughes, Josh Knight, Elliott Moore Central midfielders: James Maddison, Youri Tielemans, Wilfred Ndidi, Hamza Choudhury, Papy Mendy, Matty James, Andy King, Adrien Silva, Daniel Amartey Wingers: Demarai Gray, Marc Albrighton, Harvey Barnes, Rachid Ghezzal, Fousseni Diabate, George Thomas, Bartosz Kapustka Strikers: Jamie Vardy, Ayoze Perez, Kelechi Iheanacho, Islam Slimani, Raul Uche, Ryan Loft Plus James Justin who doesnt need registering So from that list Elder, Moore, Knight, Hughes, Mendy, James, King, Amartey, Diabate, Ghezzal, Thomas, Kapustka, Slimani, Uche and Loft all have big question marks over their future with most of them probably already on the transfer list Window closes 2 weeks today and so far only Simpson and Okazaki have left
Squad for Stoke- Kasper Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire, Ben Chilwell; Hamza Choudhury; Ayoze Perez, Youri Tielemans, James Maddison, Marc Albrighton; Jamie Vardy. Subs: Viktor Johansson, Filip Benkovic, Callum Elder, Khanya Leshabela, Fousseni Diabate, George Thomas Squad for Rotherham- Danny Ward; James Justin, Wes Morgan, Caglar Soyuncu, Christian Fuchs; Papy Mendy; Demarai Gray, Andy King, Adrien Silva, Harvey Barnes; Kelechi Iheanacho. Subs: Eldin Jakupovic, Elliott Moore, Calvin Ughelumba, Daniel Amartey, Rachid Ghezzal, Admiral Muskwe
Any interesting split - don’t think you can read into subs as the focus is on getting first team players minutes but can’t see there being too much change (N’didi for Choudhury). Things to watch: - can Perez be an effective winger? Or is he behind Vardy with Maddison out wide? - will Barnes/Gray stand out and force themselves ahead of Albrighton?
We still have Ndidi and Slimani to return. I dont think Ndidi will start the season tbh so bit chance for Choudhury to impress
So the first 11 (bar Ndidi) at Stoke, all the likely subs getting minutes at Rotherham. Looks like BR likes the idea of Albrighton as the out and out winger with Perez on the other side as an inside forward type of player with Ricardo providing width. Guess it would help when Albrighton whips in a cross, for there to be more than just Vardy to aim for. Edit: how do you know the starting lineups? the site only lists all the players.
