Team V Huddersfield

Wes Morgan is suspended. Matty James has had more surgery so wont be fit for sometime. Jamie Vardy should be ok after coming off against Bournemouth with a knock. Other then that everyone else is fit and avalible. So here is what I would go with

Schmeichel

Evans
Soyuncu
Maguire

Ricardo
Mendy
Ndidi
Chilwell

Maddison

Vardy
Iheanacho

Subs- Ward, Amartey, Fuchs, Iborra, Albrighton, Ghezzal, Gray

 

Agree with above but possibly Iborra in for Mendy. I know he’s started well but i think Iborra just has such a calm, controlling influence

 

Happy with Proud's suggestion and Ed also makes a good call ... although Mendy has arguably been one of our best performers ...

 

Schmeichel

Evans
Soyuncu
Maguire

Ricardo
Mendy
Ndidi
Chilwell

Maddison

Vardy
Iheanacho

I would agree with the above but for me Albrighton has to start.

 

I would like to see Josh Knight given a chance. He had a great pre season and played well the other night.

 

The only problem I see with the suggested lineups is the lack of mobility at the back. That is said without seeing Soyuncu to be fair. Chilwell and Ricardo are very attacking wingbacks and we are just getting caught short at the back all the time. Only one very lucky clean sheet so far and I think that is what we need to fix. Agree with the personnel listed but the two on the flanks need to be a bit more selective on when they bomb forward. Chilwell put an awful lot of crosses in last weekend and found a red and black shirt every time which then left him exposed. Think he is a great player and not really knocking him but the way we play at the moment.

 

We won't go to 3 at the back - have never played that under Puel so why would he change now for a Premier League game?

I predict it will be:

Schmeichel
Amartey
Evans
Maguire
Chilwell
Ndidi
Mendy
Pereira
Maddison
Gray
Vardy

Do I think this is our best lineup? Not at all but Puel has his plans and I think he will stick with it.

 

Schmeichel
Soyuncu - Maguire - Evans
Pereira - Ndidi - Mendy - Chilwell
Maddison - Gray
Vardy​

but agree will be 4-4-2 will be Evans in for Morgan, lets hope Huddersfield don't double their "goals for" tally or worse.

Schmeichel
Amartey - Evans - Maguire - Chilwell
Pereira - Ndidi - Mendy - Gray
Maddison
Vardy​

 

seems we are all keen to see 3 at the back with 2 wing backs. Expect to see Evans in for Morgan on Saturday. need Albrighton to start too.

 

Maybe give Josh Knight a chance if Soyuncu not ready.

Just heard Puel has said no to any changes in team formation, so 3-4-1-2 is out the window again. Why can't he see his formation is not working!

One trick pony springs to mind!

 

Brb - seen the lining and now ceasing to remember breathing.

Puel has surprised us all and gone for a 4231 - bit if a hiccup with Huddersfield scoring but we are now on top and equalised.

 

Not bad that. Sorry Puel.

*continues to breath*

 

Ed, please write 100 times "continues to breathe".

You are meant to be responsible for the education of the nation's children.

 

I’m actually one of the county’s leading primary grammar specialists... and they say standards are slipping

 

Please with that result. I feel the team just needs confidence to have a run. If we can get a few good results on the trot it may also encourage Puel to keep a settled side as there’s still too many changes. Great goals as well!

 

Brilliant response, and a good sport.

 

Thought Mendy was excellent today.

 

Agreed. And Amartey.

 

The Vardy, Iheanacho, Maddison combination was really top drawer ... Will only get better
