No Mahrez is a plus. Three strikers on the pitch for Leicester so hopefully the match will be open which you'd think would suit us alot more. Hopefully Mason and Bentaleb have been working defensively. Not a fan of starting the same team, it was clear it wasn't working last week so would have been a good chance to get Dembele back in the line up.
It doesn't matter what line up he chooses. Everyone on here has a different opinion. I trust the manager
I see the logic behind fielding the same XI, but I can imagine what Fazio, Stambouli, Dembèlè and - to a lesser extent - Lamela are thinking. If last week's game won't lead to some shuffling, what will? Chadli, Townsend etc. are lucky to be starting today - hopefully they'll pay Poch back for his confidence by strong performances today!

Or maybe its just my concerns about the manager's theory of "If its broke, dont fix it" simply being confirmed every single week.

Only Soldado is injured, and he shouldnt be on the bench anyway
Its called being dropped.
The fact that you are fabricating injuries simply shows that the reasoning is inexplicable in some cases.
I imagine Poch sees Chiriches as cover for right back and centre half, which is fair enough. But I'd much rather just have Fazio starting and having Dier for that exact cover on the bench. Poch clearly just doesn't fancy Stambouli.
How much did Saints offer for Townsend last summer?
Was it £15m ?
Was it £15m ?
To be fair the info that goes into those two sites is only taken directly from what the club puts out, so if Poch says there are no injuries then physioroom will reflect that, same with expected dates back etc.
That's what was quoted, yes. But we rejected it and they got Sadio Mane instead. They say the rest is history.
Personally I dont think Stambouli or Fazio are, or have been injured.
Id have like to seen Townsend dropped for Dembele or Lamela. I guess that England call up has fucked us.
This makes me cry, quite literally.
Thats on the "Zidane is too wooden" levels
Its bizarre that whatever his gameplan was for Utd away, he is going with the exact same approach as Leicester at home.
Does he even consider the opposition whatsoever, and take into account what they and we, can exploit or what we need to be wary of etc?
Fuck me, even Tim changed things up.
I sincerely hope that Mason, Townsend, Dier, Walker and Vertonghen are not starting every single game next year
