That looks honking.

How does it some people just never happy!! Justin has the pace to cover the back 2 over Ricardo and mav let's be honest wasn't great towards the end of the season plus it gives us some attacking options off the bench!!

I am genuinely backing Cooper and I’m never one to slag off players or managers. But Ricardo is not only our best player he’s our best player by some distance. Insane not to start him. I won’t go overboard, he may be not quite fit but he HAS to be the first name on the team sheet.

I really hope it isn’t Fatawu on the left and Reid on the right

[Foxes96]

Imagine BDCR might start against the top 6 due to his defensive workrate. Don’t hate it for him to do 60 mins and then bring Mavididi on fresh against tired legs.

He didn’t really struggle in the Championship though did he.

 

Bobby Reid starting over him is a travesty.

Let's be  honest how much have you seen of Reid give him at least a chance in a competitive match!!!

Christ, me too.

[Hales]

Come on Vards!!!!

[winteriscoming]

We had a better starting eleven and bench last season in the championship. 

[egg_fried_rice]

They’ve got some serious pace in that front three. Vesty is gonna struggle.

[BlackFox]

We'll be 2  goals down by halftime.

Nothing that we haven't done before.

Jamie Vardy was not expected to be available this evening after picking up an injury in the second week of pre-season.

 

But the 37-year-old is starting and that's probably not great news for Tottenham given he has scored eight top-flight goals against them.

 

Vardy also has one of the best records for scoring in the opening round of Premier League fixtures in the competition's history with only Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney and Mohamed Salah scoring more.

Justin on the right 👍🏻. Hes not a LB

He should be captain

I hadn’t even thought about that, but you’re probably right in suggesting is a distinct possibility 

[RyCleary]

Cooper out, absolute bozo 

[Larry_LCFC]

Oh Cooper. You plonker 😆 

[StriderHiryu]

How the **** do you watch all 46 games from last season and come to the conclusion that dropping Ricardo and Stephy Mavididi is the way to play!?

 

If this is an ugly scoreline there's going to be pelters. It's either inspired or retarded.

[Number 6]

Last season of getting to watch the GOAT. Drink it in.

Sees Jamie Vardy starting but Ricardo and Mavididi on the bench

Cooper: We had no strikers.

 

Cannon: 👀 

Reminds me of a classic O’Niell quote. We had a game, I believe it was away to Chelsea, after the match he was asked “ You played Emile Heskey, I believe he’s not 100% match fit”, O’Neill replied “More like 20% but a dead Emile Heskey would be better than the alternative.”
Graham Fenton was fit, available and on the bench! 😆

[Finn Claw II]

Fear not guys, Ward is on the bench

[Hales]

It could be anything with mav and riccy - could be getting over an illness, slight knock...chill out everyone....they will come on as fresh legs

[Dusty]

Don’t hate that lineup tbh - it’s probably the most balanced one we could put out.

Fatawu behind Vardy and BDCR
