I agree, and even without a keeper, having Trossard Martinelli and Saka in front of Nacho will definitely help but that takes us to 13 players... anybody's mate the ref for this one?

You've made a right tit of yourself there.

 

Iheanacho is keeper today.

 

You tit.

Tongue in cheek I presume...

If all our creativity is assumed to come from Maddison, then we are buggered. He was crap against Man Utd, anyway, possibly due to injury.

Can only assume we trying a more defensive base and creativity comes from the front 3 and wing backs. 

[UHDrive]

Praet will do well holding that No10 role. He might not have maddisons Flair and creativity but what he does possess is clinical through balls in tight spaces.

[Dandy king]

Ndidi straight in as captain for Mendy is a serious kick in the balls for him. Think it's because he's the only person in the squad that Brendans taller than , likes to put him in his place

Trossard replaces Nketiah for them.

Ramsdale looks like one of those YouTube knobs who review fidget spinners

[Tuna]

You always go into games hoping but I just cannot see anything else here other than a defeat, even if Arsenal conceded a 1st minute penalty and had Ramsdale sent off I wouldn't back us.

[Marutimon]

How bad is Iversen in training, that Ward keeps playing ahead of him?

[ARTY_FOX]

I dont mind wilf playing but it should be with mendy

 

[Jattdogg]

Well not the strongest lineup we have but here's to hoping we get a point or 3.

 

Let us hope for a happy day!

 

Go get those points you sexy foxes!

[Dames]

Maddisons come back didnt last long then… 

 

That midfield should have enough about it to not get overrun though, until Tielemans comes on anyway.

Looks that way but we are after all Leicester and we've played bigger giants with less on our day.

Unfortunately  I feel this is where we will come unstuck...we will invite pressure., and with the quality Arsenal have. We will be punished. 

 

The front 3.. I hope you are right with your assessment

I would prefer he play deeper than Maddison usually does. Allowing Ndidi to play out and out CDM. 

 

It may isolate Nacho but that's when we will need a big game from Tete and Barnes.

Ndidi as el capitain again 🤣
