Fuck me, Clichy & Sagna!! never want to see either of them in the first team again along with Kolarov and sadly Zab, they're all either too slow and useless on the ball, give Maffeo and Angelino a proper run of games and lets see what they've got with Stones & Otamendi along side.

Drop Gundogan for Garcia until Fern is back and line up like this.

Bravo/Willy.
Maffeo...Stones...Otamendi... Angelino.
.......Fernando.....Garcia............
Sterling........KDB........Sane.
...........Kelechi...............

I agree. We bang on about needing new fullbacks but we have 2 there that could do a job or not between now and the window but we need to know and they cannot be worse than what we have witnessed over the past few games

Not sure I agree with this. Throwing two kids into a defence that's already struggling could destroy their confidence. Always better to integrate youngsters into a winning side, although obviously we don't have that luxury at the moment.

It's not ideal, but it is Watford at home not Real Madrid away. I think the priority should be shape and balance as opposed to old square pegs into round holes

That said, there is an argument for both ways of thinking
 
Most depressing thing is that Kolarov was defensively a shambles yet was our biggest attacking threat in that game with his 1 goal and 1 assist. I also find it incredible that every single football fan in Europe saw how Leicester won the league last season with their direct counter attacking play. Yet our manager who we're told is the best thing since sliced bread was totally unaware and played a line as high as he did. I seriously hope he improves because after a great start we're going backwards week by week it seems. And i'm sick of the argument that he doesn't have the 'type of player' he needs, give him time. Such a cop out excuse. Surely if he's as good as we were told he would play to the strengths of the squad we currently have whilst eyeing up targets to play his way. Not hard is it. Instead we end up with this mess of players incapable of playing the way he wants to play, attempting to play it anyway and embarrasing themselves and the club.

A key reason why our defensive headers aren't going far is that we are often running backeards from a high line to head the ball - thus they have less momentum. Profiting from this was a clear part of Leicester's ball over the top tactics.

This. It's basic coaching. Something we were taught in training. And given every man and his dog knew Leicester would play to it it's unforgiveable that we didn't have an answer. Mind you having no pace at the back anyway doesn't help either! I suspect Watford may try the same but I am hoping we'll actually be ready and win a home game for a change. Lord knows we need to. C'mon City!
