HalfTimePost Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 To have 4 youth prospects on the bench is a weird one. I'm part very excited about the future with them and part concerned about the depth in the squad. But to be fair it's up to those kids to make the impact to become worth their spot on the bench. Suddenly we'll be thinking we have one of the deepest squads in the league if they can really make a name for themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Ramsey has fresh legs, so I reckon he’ll get 90 today. Sanson will probably come on for McGinn or Luiz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carney will definitely get his chance. Yeah maybe. Wouldn't be against that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our squad is imbalanced. We have 4/5 decent number 8 type midfielders and very little (fit) quality out wide. I like the line up. It will be a hard working side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Jacob can play this position easily. Look how he links play with good passing . BUT i think it will be McGinn as the number 10 ala Scotland Either way its good to see that Tim is on the bench ( for the first time ? ) shows that what we have seen the coaches have seen . El Ghazi was the easy change but he has gone a different way . Fair play to Gerrard. I actually get excited about team selections now . Targett will be a miss though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 the player choices feel more like a 4321 type formation, will be interesting to see how we work it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 At U23 level Ramsey was a very attack minded midfielderr and sometimes played on the left of a front three, he scored way more goals at that level than Chukwuemeka has, not saying that Ramsey is better than Chukwuemeka, just that I can understand Ramsey being chosen to play ahead of him on the left. Another thing with Ramsey is that he's good at tracking back, so will get back and help Young, he helps out the fullbacks even when he's playing centrally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice youth options on the bench but it also shows with a few injuries our depth is struggling. Ramsey is better than Chukwuemeka. And perhaps the youth are impressing the coaching staff.

Keener window-cleaner Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Interesting to see Ramsey in a more attacking role, I assume we still play 4-3-2-1 with Buendia and Ramsey as the two no 10's. Looking at what we have on the bench he would probably be my pick for that position too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I’m guessing 4-3-2-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 6 minutes ago, villa89 said: Very odd team selection. How so? Considering Targett isn’t available Young is the obvious choice to step in at left back and the rest of the team picks itself except for the last spot which was probably between AEG and Ramsey. Leicester side looks dangerous. Vardy is a bit of a surprise to be benched, but the games are coming thick and fast (they play eleven times in five weeks!) and he’s 35 next month. He’s gonna get rested for some fixtures but Daka looks like a fantastic replacement. I can see this being a high scoring game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
