Grantham Fox Posted 31 August 2016 Share Posted 31 August 2016 With Slimani looking likely to join, our reluctance to sell Schlupp and our (seemingly) more important role for Amartey, does anyone else have any other concerns about how many Africans are in the squad. I'm not being racist but losing Schlupp, Mahrez, Amartey, Musa and Slimani for a period of time will probably, actually no probably about it, definitely be leaving us very short! Any concerns, and how will we handle this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes21 Posted 31 August 2016 Share Posted 31 August 2016 So we will be without Schlupp, Mahrez, Amartey & Slimani during January. Nigeria didn't qualify for the AFCON so Musa will be sticking around. Our january fixtures: Middlesborough, Chelsea, Southampton, Burnley + an FA Cup tie, possibly a carling cup fixture but I doubt it. So, I'd say there are potentially 5-6 fixtures. I think the AFCON won't harm us too much because we will still have 18-19 players to select from + U23's who could cover for cup games like Muskwe & Hamza can be recalled, etc. Our squad will be: GK: Kasper, Zieler RB: Simpson CB: Morgan, Huth, Hernandez, Wasyl, Benalouane LB: Fuchs, Chilwell Wing: Albrighton, Gray, Kaputska CM: Drinkwater, Mendy, King, James, Hamza ST: Vardy, Okazaki, Musa, Ulloa if he stays, Muskwe, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any concerns, and how will we handle this? I think the absence of Vardy last season plus Huth this/last campaign have shown that the team can actually play football even without some of the more veteran or renowned starting XI members. Overreaction much? Just because you repeat a myth doesn't make it any tru'er. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerFox Posted 1 September 2016 Share Posted 1 September 2016 The competition is this season and players will be gone for most of January and part of February.

adimo1409 Posted 1 September 2016 Share Posted 1 September 2016 I admit the timing of the AFCON is annoying but well Chealsea had to lose Drogba and Kalou who always reached the final and were massive for them Liverpool will have to do without Mane and Matip as well and much more examples , Schlupp isn't even a starter so won't be a big deal, Amartey is a good cover though Think by January LCFC will get another CM As for Mahrez and Slimani not sure if Algeria can go all the way despite being on paper the best African team we struggle when the conditions are bad , weather , pitches are so bad There are riots in Gabon right now because of their president elections and they may delay the AFCON(unlikely though cuz the winner will play confiderations cup) if things go wrong and it turns to a civil war there , we'll see anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez of Mahrez Posted 1 September 2016 Share Posted 1 September 2016 Champions League knockout games start a week after the AFCON final too. If Algeria go all the way then we'll have to manage Mahrez and Slimani's fitness well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 1 September 2016 Share Posted 1 September 2016 this is disgusting racism, they should be allowed to represent their countries.

EnglishOxide Posted 1 September 2016 Share Posted 1 September 2016 1 hour ago, Larry_LCFC said: That is ****ing crippling. How annoying. No it's not. Albrighton, Kapustka, Gray and Musa to cover the wings. Leo/Shinji/Musa/Vardy up front. James/King/Mendy/Drinkwater to cover midfield. This scenario is what we have squad depth for, and we are well covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
