Leicester (A) 22/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

[t3ch]

Im fine with Hwang for sarabia but don’t understand mou for costa

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Good pressure from Neves to put him off

 

[The Bear]

Right call IMO. Hwang for Sarabia.

Moutinho for Costa.

 

[Jinky]

Think we looked much better with Lemina/Gomes in the middle.

Moutinho & Hwang on. Sarabia & Costa off.

 

[The Bear]

Seems like 4-3-3 maybe

 

[Alan]

Extra body in midfield ain’t the worst idea but I still don’t really get using Moutinho in that higher role.

We did but Leicester had an extra man in there since ht.

 

[Jinky]

Change of shape. This could go either way.

 

[The Bear]

Nope. 4-4-1-1 with Cunha up top and Moutinho behind him?

 

[WsWolf]

João Gomes ghosting past players like a peak Messi.

 

[Wolftone]

Comms saying neves back in?

Edit ahh for Lemina ok

Has hamstring strapping on I've noticed previously

 

[Alan]

Nope. 4-4-1-1 with Cunha up top and Moutinho behind him?

I’d say 4-2-3-1 but tomato/tomato to an extent.

 

[The Bion]

Joao G likes to get forward quite a bit, much more box-to-box than I remember reading about

Neves puts a FK onto the roof of the net

Same formation 4-4-1-1.

Agree on Moutinho

 

[Carsy]

Has anyone taught nunes the offside rule?

I’m sure I read that he started as an attacking midfielder and just started progressively getting played deeper and deeper by Flamengo before finally being basically a pure #6 last season.

Which is to say, he’s got those attacking instincts in him, it seems.

 

[Alan]

Their LWB has been pretty good today, at least defensively.

 

[The Bear]

Forest 2-2

 

[t3ch]

nice save from Sa

 

[Loki]

Another needless silly booking.
