Back to a back three, interesting...

Guess that’s why Trippier is there as hoping he get forward as will have more attacking freedom (good to see Rose on left though to give a bit more pace).

Would probably prefer Dele deeper and Eriksen further up but nothing to switching about during the game.
Agree that that's probably the main reason why Trippier is starting.

But I think if we try to play to Llorente's strengths as a target man we're more likely to get joy from Dele being the one who tries to get on the end of the knockdowns, and Eriksen dictating play from deeper.

Delighted that Trips is in with three centre halves.

Dare I say it, given our injury struggles, it’s not a bad looking side that!

Maybe he's starting because he's currently the best right back in the squad in Poch's opinion?

Fulham have Ryan Babel now? Is that the best they could get? :confused:

Happy that we've gone back 3, we should get the best of Trippier now and I expect him to have a great game with Dele and LLorente heading ability. Bench is awful so need to get out in-front early on and finish the game.

Will feature the stylings of Trippier and Davies at FB.
Davies will obviously play. Let's wait and see who Poch selects on the right before we moan about (although I'll certainly be with you if you turn out to be right).

Hey Tripps shouldn’t you be getting warmed up, didn’t think you were allowed phones in the dressing room :):):):)

That's original.

So you don't trust the manager to pick the best team of players who he works with almost every day etc.?

Maybe Trippier is the best trainer at the club, but his performances in a back four have been questionable at best all season.

In a back 3/5, I'm all for him starting. He is a much better wing-back than full-back.

Ranieri hasn't lost against us in his last 11 meetings as manager. :wideyed:

I have a really bad feeling about today. Think we will feel the losses of Kane and Son badly.
