Would not be surprised with Toti for Saiss, and Marcal for RAN.

Not saying Bruno should do it, but I think he might.

Is that a back 4 or Jonny RCB with Chiquinho RWB?

Jonny RCB and Chiquinho RWB? Happy with that team

BBC showing Donk in back 3

 

[Dire Wolf]

The Wolves app has it as a back 3 of Boly, Coady & Donk. I hope they're wrong.

 

[The Bear]

Looks like a back three with Donk in there to me. 3-4-3.

[AndyWolves]

I wanted donk to play further back, but that's a little bit too much!

 

[Tredman]

I know it’s bollocks, but watching Greasy and Mahrez doing keepie-uppies the length of half the pitch is pretty cool.

 

[Dire Wolf]

I'm not sure what levels of expectation come below 'non-existent', but that's pretty much where my expectations are for this one!

Chiquino in the MGW role

 

[Metal_Warrior]

I'm going for complete annihilation with a wiff of hope that it's only a thrashing.

I get the need in terms of the players out, but asking a player to drop into such a specialist position as wingback against a side of this quality is a hell of an ask.

Looks like Chiquinho is at RWB, Jonny is the RCB, Coady in the middle, Boly LCB, RAN at LWB.

Donk's in his usual spot in midfield.

3-5-2 then? Can't watch as I'm out at the minute.

 

[pr0sl0]

Ah, great start. Bum.

Yep, although Chiquinho is playing much more like a straight winger than a RWB so far.

 

[Carsy]

Yes. I totally agree . Up the Donk!

Equaliser

 

[Jinky]

Good God I’ve missed Pedro.

Excellent play from Raul, too.
