Basically a back 8 there 

[DeepSouthFOX]

I’ll go ahead and say what everyone is thinking…

 

Cooper Out!

[Aus Fox]

Get into em! 
Really fancy a win today! 2-1 City!

[moore_94]

I know I originally like the idea of Cooper because he would be pragmatic but bloody hell

 

Fatawu going to be expected to do everything going forward?

It’s been 3 games! No one is realistically think that are they?

[Dusty]

Kick off might be the furthest forward that team gets.

[foxfanazer]

Oooh we're having a proper go then!! #fearless

[foxinsox]

Could have done with a bit more creativity in midfield, but fingers 🤞

The pic of the team selection on Facebook has been removed I take it the comments weren’t overly positive 

[StevieH]

Ayew and Vardy. Mistake. Need width on both sides of the pitch to stretch the game. Vardy is a sub this season at best. 

[fox_favourite]

Damage limitation for Coops. So negative 

[Pliskin]

Cooper masterclass or disaster class……… we will see. 

[Swarles Barkley]

Buonanotte arguably best player vs Spurs, gets the assist vs Fulham and gets dropped for fvcking Ndidi to play in that position

[Brizzle Fox]

So Alves can't even get onto a 9 man bench.

 

Defies comprehension that we didn't sort him out a loan out.

And who plays in that role?? We don’t have anyone else who can play there without Vardy.

A bit more? There isn't any 

[Md9]

If I was ricardo I would have asked to leave yesterday because not being ahead of Justin or Vk is criminal 

[Blue-fox]

I think we will do better than everyone is thinking here. Fancy 2-1 win with Vardy getting 2. 

[LCFCJohn]

I want to defend Cooper, I really do. And I’m not calling for him out yet and I am

comfortable with us going down this season if we are just not good enough but give it a go.

 

But FFS, that is so negative and absolutely not playing the best available. All about not losing but by the time you bring the attacking players on in the second half you could have lost the game through setting up so negatively.

 

Sort it out Steve!

[Mickyblueeyes]

That’s a cowardly line up at home. 
 

Jannick has been our most consistent CB and he’s thrown him out and thrown in Okoli in quite a challenging fixture. 
 

Facundo under coopers tactics to sit back for as long as possible has been our best ball carrier so far this season (not hard), who carries that ball and releases the pressure now. 
 

Mavididi showed commitment v Tranmere but isn’t treated very well.
 

Riccy is by some distance, the best player in our squad. Why.
 

and Soumare making the bench is infuriating - get Alves on there.
 

I know people like to call it a meltdown/hissy fit but how else do you react to that sort of line up, this is Paulo Sousa level of stupidity,  

[CrazyKopCorner]

Terrible team - clueless Cooper

[FOXSE]

This may be a case if stay in it and be more attacking for the lat 30 mins. Let's see how we go.
