Reg Vardy

Three of those full backs had serious long term injuries….hardly surprising not been at their best

Mahrez is virtually irreplaceable

Vardy missed one in the Europa, cost us qualification, just sayin’

If we had beaten Brighton away, some may remember it was a very controversial defeat,we would be above Brighton….just sayin’

Mahrez had a house in London when he was here….anyone in Premier league football can pretty much buy any property anywhere…it’s called investing in their future…Robbie Fowler is a classic example…..

Kasper Castagne Soyuncu Amartey Thomas/Justin Albrighton Mendy Tielemans/KDH Barnes Daka Lookman

Game is wide open….Smalling and Abraham wouldn’t get into United or Chelsea’s team currently….and Serie A isn’t as strong as the Premier league….it would be fantastic to take a lead to Italy….come on Vards,one more time…..

Think this is correct….

Might be wrong but I reckon May and June are non paying months…certainly the case based on last years bank statements

We have dropped 26 points from winning positions this season….would have been third……Radio 5 live tonight….

Interesting nobody commenting on the unbelievably low prices for Randers, Rennes and PSV…£5 for an under 10 v Randers rising to £9 for PSV….incidentally season ticket holder, £40 for my seat……as someone else has said, Ido have a choice. On balance the club get most things right…..

Interesting who gets critiqued on here, I would say the usually reliable Dan Amartey should have done better with both goals….and that was before Kasper got involved….

Few good points here, non season ticket holders who have been to all three games should somehow be given priority over people who couldn’t be bothered. Pricing about right ( bear in mind it was £5-£10 for kids in earlier rounds -fantastic value) it is a European SF. It is all of a sudden a very important match against a good side,fantastic if we can go through…. Great occasion for the club……

Back four of JJ,Cags,Dan, Luke Mendy will play Barnes only had half tonight Albrighton also Vards might get 20 minutes Lookman had one Half Daka/Kel had one half Drop in Madders, Youri, KDH anyone at any time and that is about it

Two defeats in ten games, fourth in current form table, players busting a gut........time to shut this thread, if I were the owners, sacking him would be the last thing on my mind......

To wrap it up for me, has a manager ever been dismissed for a poor record on injuries? Results yes (influenced by injuries I can accept)Injuries ? No.

Said it before, any original injury....Vardy's knee, N'didi's knee, any hamstring, any groin is caused by the players decision to make the challenge/run, and likewise any fracture is either the players decision to make the challenge (Justin), or in Fofana and Perreira's case a reckless challenge. All of this is completely at the door of the players or the challengers, and is completely out of Rodgers hands. Bringing players back, can be levelled at the club, but Castagne three different injuries(shoulder, hamstring, thigh), Vardy two different (hamstring,knee),Barnes (knee,hamstring), Evans, (hamstring, heel) My point is the player has often been bought back after recovery from one injury, only to be sidelined with a different injury. I am not sure this can be placed in Rodgers responsibility. Lastly, players who have had serious injuries (Perreira, Fofana, Justin) it will take time for them to get their game back up to speed, and it clearly has....both JJ and RP have found it difficult to immediately replicate their pre injury levels. I have never before heard of a manager being accountable for the level of injuries at any club, and I am not sire its fair to drop it all on Brendan....

Thought Kel dropped off really well, and brought midfielders into the game, should have scored.Is our second choice centre forward,Vardy would have taken that chance. Barnes not at his best, but if his shot that hit the bar goes in, he would get all the headlines…. Tielemans playing a more defensive role, with no Wilf, Mendy, and as a defensive midfielder we keep a clean sheet….decent against a side second in the Dutch league. Lookman got 20 minutes The opposition are a well organised long experienced European competiton, Finally, take those four out who would you play in their place.Daka I can understand (He will probably start Sunday) the others?

Absolutely in his pocket….

Kelechi might have a knock, to risk Daka for 20 minutes and pick up an injury would possibly leave us with no forwards….we were the better side for the first half should have been 2 up….they changed the way they set up and it was a stalemate. Can’t think of anyone who wasn’t decent tonight, Albrighton struggled and we looked tired last 20. Wouldn’t write us off yet….interesting nobody on here mentions defensively we have improved, and set pieces are no longer the hot topic they once were…

3 defeats in 11 games,.......fine lines should have won Saturday, should have beaten West Ham and Wolves......table would be interesting had we got our just rewards.....we are playing well, and still missing two first team regulars......think Brendan deserves credit for the way Mendy has come into the side, can't be easy motivating somebody you left out of the squad.....thought he was outstanding on Saturday....lets get behind the boys Thursday....

3 points and still no Vardy,N’didi and Fofana…. Justin and Castagne great……safety……

Has ability to go by defenders better than anyone bar Barnes, final ball (Thursday for example) can let him down, but at 15 mill think that is about right. He will get better over the next five years, and not sure there is much better for that kind of money. Best I can say, if he starts today, he is one player who you don’t need to worry about giving 100% for the team, and is a potential match winner. Its a yes from me….

Thought Maddison looked the business when he came on….given Tielemans and KDH went defensive mid…..proud of em
