How is Buonanotte not starting?

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

They’ve reuploaded it with a picture of Winks instead of Mads 🤷🏼‍♂️

 

I can only guess they’re trying to be consistent with the programme cover 

[Nick]

Are you Dean Smith in disguise?

[Gav_LCFC14]

And incredibly negative line up

[It'sblueupnorth]

We don’t score more than 1 with that team 

[SkidsFox]

Interesting options on the bench though. Ricky, El K, Mavididi, Bunanotte. 

And Soumare.

[Shamomoa]

Why is the goal football app giving me a different lineup to the one lcfc have released 🤔 😫

My apologies, it’s now Iverson instead of Ward on the bench 

[studentofthegame]

Looking a bit adventurous, hopefully get Vestergaard on for Fatawu to shore things up a bit

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?

No, no, no.  The obvious play is long ball to Ayew. Draw foul.  Get every lump in the box.  Quickly run back to defensive positions when the free kick hits the wall.  Repeat.

[AS78UK]

Well that's confused me...thought the point was to rotate Ayew and Vardy and to rotate El Khannouuss with Bounanoutte. 

 

Was expecting to be pissed about Ricardo and Mavididi.....not the above on top too. 

[Mark]

You just know Buonanotte and El Khannouss will hardly play under Cooper, since Skipp signed he was always going to go with that trio of midfielders 

[Ed 1]

It’s embarrassing we have a player of Ricardos quality and it’s even more embarrassing he’s constantly on the bench. 

[Samilktray]

That team stinks 

[The whole world smiles]

Oh good it's been about 20 hours since the last foxestalk meltdown (at 5 yesterday when you didn't think we were signing a striker). We were due another!

 

Up the city 

[Dr The Singh]

Vestergard on the bench?

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

Mavadidi

[Gazza M]

Give the guy a chance FFS. Get behind the lads.

Ayew is a centre forward isn't he? I guess will play behind Vardy. Lacking creativity. 

[mod hero]

I’m really starting to dislike Cooper.

Four of the above would be interesting options starting on the pitch too.

[ronnup]

Cant wait to go 1 down after 3 minutes and weve got 8 defensive players on

[smudger63]

Wow! Have we ever started a game with a more negative team. 

 

[Grebfromgrebland]

We're looking like we're a league 2 side hoping for a jammy draw.
