    ———————-DDG
    AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
    ————— Matic Fred
    Greenwood Fernandes Martial
    ——————- Ighalo

    Pogba and Rashford on for Fred and Matic in the 80th minute when we’re 1-0 down

    I just trust this side and feel Ighalo giving martial time to find space will work.

    Shaw (hopefully), AWB, Ighalo, Fred to give us much needed freshness.
     
    So many people confused with the permutations for final day so here goes

    1. Chelsea v Wolves : draw or Chelsea win
    Leicester v Manutd : draw or Manutd win
    UCL - Manutd and Chelsea

    2. Chelsea v Wolves : Wolves win
    Leicester vs Manutd : draw or Leicester win
    UCL - Manutd and Leicester

    3. Chelsea v Wolves : draw or Chelsea win
    Leicester v Manutd : Leicester win
    UCL - Leicester and Chelsea

    4. Chelsea v Wolves : Wolves win
    Leicester vs Manutd : Manutd win
    UCL - Manutd and Chelsea
     
    Matic has got to be left out here. I suggest going with Mctominay and Fred deeper with one of Bruno/Pogba further forward. I'd start with Pogba. That gives us some flexibility later on with Bruno off the bench.

    I'd start with Rashford Greenwood and Martial despite Rashford being garbage today.

    Jesus... Leicester has been terrible and have alot of injuries. Our attack is very good. Not over at all
     
    One thing for certain is that I would not start the same starting 11 on Sunday that played tonight,

    -------------------------De Gea----------------------
    ---AWB-----Lindelof-------Maguire-----Williams
    -------------------------Matic-----------------------------
    -------------Fred---------------McTominay------------
    ------------------------Bruno------------------------------
    --------Greenwood---------Martial------------------------

    Pogba and Rashford were shocking tonight, i would drop them both and pack that midfield more, push Bruno higher where he excels and would have less running about to do and then both Greenwood and Martial have enough to win us a game with bruno interchanging with them, i think that team could get a win and it's enough rotation to insert some energy into the team.
     
    Time for an extra midfielder, Pogba to be pushed further forward, and one of Mason and Rashford to miss out. I think I'm probably saving Rashford for the final 30 minutes.
     
    ----------------------De Gea
    AWB--------Lindelof----Maguire--------Shaw
    ----------------Fred-----------Matic
    -----------------------Pogba
    ----Greenwood----Martial----Rashford

    Bruno needs a rest.
    Sit back and give Pogba license to roam forward.
    We will catch them on the counter attack.
    They will be fresher and Vardy & Co. will be hassling our backline and CMs on the ball like Southampton did so it wud be silly to try and play it out when we don't have the players to do it currently.
     
    If we lose this we will have the lowest premier league points tally, no CL and potentially no trophies. If we then fail to win the Europa cup I can’t see how Oles job will be secure.

    All ifs I know but that would be one sorry fecking season.
     
    I have zero confidence in us getting a draw out of this game.

    I think we've blown it.

    I hope I'm wrong.
     
    Our play from the back regarding our goal kicks will fall perfectly into Leicesters pressing.
     
    DDG
    Dalot
    Shaw
    Bailly
    Maguire
    Fred
    Pogba
    Bruno
    Mata
    Martial
    Greenwood

    This team would be my pick. Very unlikely though.

    I think it should be McTominay in to shore things up in midfield, Bruno should sit this one out, push Pogba up and we desperately need Shaw back. A front four of Pogba, Martial, Rashford and Greenwood ought to be able to conjure up a couple of goals against that Leicester backline.

    We were atrocious off the ball today and Bruno isn't on it. Reserve for later if we need a goal or two. Them needing a win ought to play into our hands and we can smash them on the break.
     
    Pains me to say it but I don't think we're getting top 4. If LCFC press us, our CBs are toast.

    I just hope Williams doesn't start

    I think we'll draw an absolutely horrible game, which I would rip your hand off for obviously.

    Honestly I think we will pick them off as they try to attack. Rodgers is stupidly naive in his attack and we should walk in confident with 36 hours rest and Rashford/Martial buzzing around Wes fecking Morgan.
     
    Bruno should not start this one. He has been pulling awful performances for 3 straight games. He has to be dropped for this one
     
    Are Leicester still having to play Morgan? He'll be bricking it coming up against the pace of our forward line.

    I'd go with this. Maybe Shaw starting too if fit. Leicester press well and will punish us for any sloppiness. I think Fred and McSauce will be fresher and eager to prove a point. And will help us with their energy and toughness to complement Fernandes who will then be able to do his thing upfront. Its tough because the XI we consistently played before this dip in form arguably got us into the position we are defending but genuine signs of burnout and not just sloppiness were there to see so time for a little tinkering.

    I think though we'll probably see the same XI barring AWB starting because of Ole. Not saying they couldn't do the job but based on today's display it will be a certain defeat if we show the same carelessness and lack of urgency

    You mean there's a 75% chance that we might make it? Don't worry, this team will defy those odds as well.

    I can see them controlling the ball as we huff and puff around them. I hope you're right though, I do fancy our attackers to cause their makeshift backline some problems.
