Brentford currently in action against Valencia at their new home ground, the Brentford community stadium.

Frank Onyeka starts from the bench.

Leicester city to win

Sir Andrew nah you talk this one?

And having watched the first 25 mins of this Community Shield Final, it's easy to see that Vardy is up top supported by Barnes from the left, Perez from the right and Maddison through the middle.
Perez seems to be playing closer to Vardy while drifting to the right sometimes but Barnes is found wide always on the left.
It's like a 4-2-3-1/4-1-4-1 variant and that easily explains why Nacho isn't starting.
Rodgers is playing with one actual striker set-up although Perez is also a striker in disguise judging by how close he stays to Vardy so far in this game.


Also, Vardy leads the high pressing on Man City defenders and their buildup from the back alongside Perez and Maddison.

TheSuperNerd:
Perez also starts. Another time it could be Perez out, Nacho in. Barnes is not the one pairing Vardy up top. It looks like Perez.

But yes, Barnes' return was inevitable. He's key to Leicester's attack especially when they play 4-1-4-1 or morph into other formations.

lloydtruth:
Watford will not survive the drop this season.

They have been buying trash , already made up to 15 signings

Leicester City: Good starters, bad finishers.
They have really played well so far.
Ndidi will likely move before the window closes, I know this is the match Ole has been wanting to watch.
Iheanacho I hope it's not going to be like this for the coming season? Only gets to play when someone is out injured?
Edozie will surely move on loan.
At the end Manchester City will win the next champions league.

Barnes created the only truly big chance of the first half but Vardy was denied by a touch from Steffen who deflected it onto his goal post.

Leicester is balling good so far and should be 1-0 up but if Grealish, for instance, comes on for Edozie, that left side of the pitch in the Man City attack fit see some huge leap in levels.


Meanwhile, among the Midfielders alone in this game, Ndidi has recorded the highest passing accuracy for both sides. He recorded 96% accurate passing in the first half and only lost possession twice.


The Big Wilf is doing okay.

Are you sure ndidi will move ?

I know they don't play in the same position but it was because of Barnes' injury Leicester switched to two upfront.

In other update, how fast was Ndidi there vs Mahrez.

i comot hand 4 there matter when dey signed Dennis n etebo

charlesemeka85:

They have already accepted that they will be relegated next season they just want to get the money and bounce

You dont rate these 2 naija player no mean say make you wish their teams relegation

You no try for this talk at all

Dennis and etebo are decent players

Iheanacho comes in

Lets do this

Yes. That's true.

Mehn... in that moment, both Ndidi and Ricardo brought out their inner flash. Ndidi especially did well staying on Mahrez and applying pressure which causesd mahrez to shoot recklessly. I know Ndidi is fast but he really took his speed up a notch there.

Iheanacho fouled, penalty

Onyekaaaaaaa!

M boy did it

He scored the winner in a crucial game

Shey some people said he should not take pk anymore

cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Like i said earlier Leicester will beat city

Seniorman doing Seniorman things!!!!

Pressures Ake! Wins the ball! Gets a foul! Penalty to Leicester and 1-0! Iheanacho dispatches!

Just like that... Nacho punishing his old club.

Nachhhhoooooo!

Frank Onyeka also bags his first goal for Brentford against Valencia!!! Goals rain for the Naija boys!!!

Iheanacho scores the penalty

Brentford is a good team!

My revelation for that match: Patson daka. Man will score loads in his career.

How can Iheanacho have so good a shooting technique, yet be so poor at penalties.

Nearly ended his career by missing that.

That was a big moment for him so at least he held his nerves.

Finally Ndidi and Kelechi wins Naija first gold medal, but they did so in far away England

The way Pep put his hands over his head once Ake lost the ball to Nacho and eventually fouled him said it all.

It was over at that point. Lol

Maybe thats why someone here said they might not be relegated

Patson daka is a good player but he didnt have time to do anything on this game so i am sure you are not speaking from this game but for the good player that he is

Iheanacho didnt nearly missed that bro

C'mon bro you don't have to say they're decent players just say they're good players or just there esp etebo

Props to Iheanacho for having the confidence to step up to the penalty spot after his miss against Burton
