Team V Bournemouth

Jamie Vardy’s suspension is now over and Caglar Soyuncu should be fit enough to now be involved. No other injuries or suspensions so here is what I would go with

Schmeichel

Ricardo
Morgan
Maguire
Chilwell

Ndidi
Mendy

Ghezzal
Maddison
Albrighton

Vardy

Subs- Ward, Evans, Amartey, Fuchs, Silva, Gray, Iheanacho

 

Matty James has had another operation

Shock

 

I do feel for the lad, he seems to take one step forward and five back when it comes to injuries. He's been fit for about half a season in the last 4 seasons, I can see him having to call it a day at this rate.

 

Real shame. Maybe I’m alone but I really really rate him - positionally so so intelligent

 

I’d be tempted to throw Soyuncu in to a 5-3-1-1 but maybe not until the current system has broken...

Schmeichel

Pereira Evans Maguire Fuchs

N’didi Mendy

Gray Maddison Albrighton

Vardy

 

Puel has said Soyuncu is ready to start now

 

I think that we may see this team


Schmeichel


Ricardo

Soyuncu

Maguire

Chilwell


Ndidi

Mendy


Ghezzal

Maddison

Gray


Vardy

 

My team is listed above, but I think it will be:

Schmeichel
Amartey Morgan Maguire Chilwell
Mendy N’didi
Ghezzal Maddison Gray
Vardy


But it’s Puel so something odd will happen. Vardy RB and Amartey up top?

 

He wont drop Ricardo. No chance

 

Probably Ricardo over Ghezzal but I’d not have Amartey personally

 

I did actually mean to include Ricardo for Ghezzal

 

Schmeichel, Ricardo, Morgan, Maguire, Chilwell, Ndidi, Mendy, Ghezzal, Maddison, Gray, Vardy

Subs- Ward, Evans, Fuchs, Amartey, Iborra, Albrighton, Iheanacho

 

Happy enough but literally what was the point in signing Evans on about £100k a week I think it was, Benkovic for about £15m and Soyuncu for £24ish mill if Morgan - who is decent, club captain and a leader - is undroppable

Morgan kinda makes sense - Soyuncu can play RCB but is coming back from an injury and needs time to acclimatise.

Tried Evans and he wasn't that good there - looks like he was brought in as a backup for Maguire.

Benkovic is one for the future - is why he was sent on loan to Celtic get minutes although he is playing on the left side as well...

The one thing I don't get is we have Amartey who plays RCB for Ghana - in fact he was captain in their last game but for some reason we a loath to play him there.

 

F*****g Hell

 

Just need to go for damage limitation and save the goal difference second half, game as a contest over

 

This is going well for you lads.

 

Think the only positive is that Puel can't play Big Wes against the Udders ...

 

If this is as good as it gets, then I refer back to my point from last week: what’s the point in waking up and remembering to breath on a Saturday?
