    No reason for Yamada to not get some minutes, it's not like he has to get up to fitness, Inamura was put in at the first chance.

    We won’t do it but I would say our best formation given the players we have at our disposal would actually be the Leipzig 4-2-2-2 shape. We don’t actually have wing options the now.

    GK Schmeichel
    RB Johnston
    LB Tierney
    CB CCV
    CB Trusty
    DMLC McGregor
    DMRC Engels
    AMLC Hatate
    AMRC Nygren
    ST Maeda
    ST Yamada/Idah/Kenny

    It would rely on the fullbacks for width but both Tierney and Johnston would be capable we would be pretty solid with having 4 players able to clog up the centre of the park out of possession and have Nygren and Hatate in the half spaces when
    We have it.

    Maeda, Yamada and Kenny or all good high energy pressers (presuming a bit with Yamada) but the other two definitely can run themselves in to the ground and press and counter press. Both can also run themselves channels and the likes of Nygren could come in centrally and split them on occasion too with one of the centre forwards dropping to his position.

    I know those sort of rotations don’t happen over night but I actually think it’s the best shape for our current crop of players.

    For those who are in love.....
    Mental that Carter-Vickers and Johnston and that's Rodgers' strongest side..

    Nygren already in and ousted Engels by the looks of our lineups so far as we've gone on..

    Anyway.....be good to get a look at Yamada second half..

    CCV and AJ in for next week.

    Then it's a case of a LCB, striker and right winger. Then we're looking at a very strong XI.

    Scary that line up is not far away from our strongest with the league starting next week. Yet some on here still saying there's plenty of time.

    Embarrassing
