Schmeichel, De Laet, Morgan, Moore, Schlupp, King, Drinkwater, James, Vardy, Nugent, Wood 4-3-3 #lcfc Subs: Whitbread, Dyer, Waghorn, Danns, Bakayogo, Knockaert, Logan. He clearly doesn't know his best side. He's added two players and had the whole summer to work it out. Starting to lose optimism, he best hope results keep coming because his neck will be on the line.
Nigel gets criticised for not having back up options and now he has given us more options you criticise him for using one of them The more ways of playing the better
No Konch at all in the squad and rumours are the interest from QPR could have something to do with it
I say fair play to Nigel, we were poor and boring against Leeds so he's mixed it up! Just now hope for an entertaining game
One thing last year was that we were so predictable in the formation front. No-one at derby will have predicted 4-3-3, maybe 4-4-2 or 5-3-2, so maybe this is tactical, as Clough may haveto change his tactics to accommodate that much attacking threat. lets see how it goes 'ey before we say that he has no idea what hes doing Does look like hes off, unless hes injured. Knocky not starting again ... maybe we'll put him back in the team when the transfer window is closed. Schlupp as a pacey defender, whos the right winger for Derby?
@talkSPORTgeoff 1m Nigel Pearson: criticised for a "rigid" 4-4-2; criticised for a "defensive" 3-5-2; criticised for an "attacking" 4-3-3 #LCFC
IAMJOHNFALLEN has no friends, no brains and his team has no hope. Living in history, like all the rest of his sorry type does.
Strange team for me. Don't quite know why Bakayogo isn't playing, maybe if Konchesky's going then Schlupp could seriously be a left back? No Knockaert again! Surprised he didn't tinker with the midfield trio who looked the weak link against Leeds. Nice to see Moore keep his place though.
