Back 5 picks itself. ---------Catts----Brid Larsson---Giacch-----AJ ------------Fletch I think this might be our best front 6. If fletch is out Connor in. If AJ is quiet, Ricky on. Rod can replace any, Gomez for Giacch. Great options!
I'd like to see Cats and Bridcutt together, but i'd maybe wait until jones is back so we have proper wingbacks bombing on. Bridcutt is v. Good at droping into cover positions when our fullbacks bomb on. Catts is just as good pushing on up the pitch as defending deeper across the back four. If one of them tires, or we need to be more offensive, Rodders can replace one of them. For Larsson, switch with Buckley For Giacc, there is Gomez For AJ, we have Alvarez I hope we can blood Mavrias and Watmore at some point, but loans would appear best for them. Let's just hope Fletch is fit. If not, Jozy or Connor - grab your spot at the last chance saloon!
that team man...weak as piss, wouldn't even make the play offs in the championship.. Altidore/Wickham...ffs..
Good selection here, we really could move forward with this team, if it clicks, my only reservation would be defending set pieces with the lack of height in the mid-field positions, otherwise it looks good and is definitely worth a try,
Given injuries/fitness how would you go? Fletcher is fit so he'd come in for Altidore. The back 5 is the same as v Everton and I think Bridcutt earned his place. Dont think Giaccherini or Alvarez are ready or else I'd have them in there.
Leicester's 4 man midfield imo is one of the problems they have, outnumbered week in week out in midfield against better opposition stretching them with ease. Matching them 4 in the midfield, giving their lads the chance to grab a hold on the game would be a mental thing to do imo. We need to stick with our 451/433 variant for this one.
Think with Fletcher fit we'll probably see the 4-3-3 with Wickham deployed on the left. His big decision is Bridcutt or Cattermole. Both + Larsson would be very negative for me away to a promoted side in poor form.
-----------------Panty----------------- Vergini----Brown---JOS----Revelliere -----Rodwell----Catts----Larsson----- Alvarez-------Fletcher-------Wickham That would be my team against Leicester Do believe Alvarez is back along with Giaccy/Coates/Jones? Buckley/Johno havent really done much to inspire and think Gomez is better as an impact sub due to his dawdling on the ball
Great news about Fletch, Connor is only going to work on the left if he gets closer to Fletch imo. I think it would be a good game for Bridcutt like, don't mind which of the two start. Larsson is proving a point to folk like me at the moment, defo one of the first on the team sheet at the moment. I'd like to see Rodders come in next Larsson but again, don't mind is Gomez gets the nod. Doubt he'll start the returning lads apart from Fletch.
I'd like to see Wickham out. Giacch, Buckley, Ricky, any of them would be preferable. Can see Catts sitting out, Brid rewarded by keeping the shirt. With 433 I can't see both starting.
Daparker's team is the team I would play, Maybe Giacch, Gomez as subs, or Gomez starting ahead of Bridcutt. I would not risk any player unless 100% fit though and certainly not Fletcher as it is time for Altidor to get in there and start shoving his way through defences.
