BDCR for Fatawu and that's basically the most defensive and shit team we could ever put out. People willing to admit that this isn't pragmatism, it's as dogmatic as Enzo but without the good grace to at least be nice to watch

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

 

It's interesting. Everyone loves Pearson but our season back in the Premier league had some unbelievably negative line ups!

But we didn't play really negative football and at least tried to score (not leveling that at Cooper yet)

I'd take a midfield three of 

 

Andy King

Matty James

Danny Drinkwater 

 

Right now!

That's a quite frankly a dreadful line up.

 

2 bomb scares at CB

A competition winner at LB

3 Defensive Midfielders at home

Still relying on a 38 year old striker.

Expecting Fatawu to literally be the only creative spark.

Apart from Fatawu, no pace up top to transition quickly. Vardy lost that yard.

Not playing buonoatte who arguably is our most creative and best ball carrier player this season.

Riccy P still not starting.

 

Tough old game ahead and it's not going to be pretty. I fear for us.

So what do people expect? I can think of 3 obvious changes:

 

Ricardo in - unfortunately was very poor in the first half during the week so obviously that's used against him

 

Ndidi out for Buonanotte - Ndidi was also pretty pants and then scored a great goal. Said at the time that was the worst thing that could have happened as it meant he'd come into the team. FB was completely ineffective against Fulham as well.

 

Mavididi - He was absolutely abysmal against Tranmere until the last 20 mins or so.

 

So if you're looking at it with Cooper's lens, these decisions are all justified. Like most of you, if rather see these changes but I've accepted the way things are for us so not surprised and just feel a bit meh, rather than super annoyed.

Thank christ there’s no BDCR.

 

Zero creativity in midfield 

 

Okoli must be in for the threat in behind that Villa pose.

 

This whole Ricardo nonsense is starting to get on my t*ts.

 

Cooper will be criticised heavily if this line-up backfires.
