Wes won’t get a new contract and therefor won’t be a lcfc player come next season. Shambles. Soyuncu not fit. Benkovic bedding in. Evans didn't play well last week, Perhaps Puel is just calling it as he sees it picking the current best two CB's at the club? I have little doubt Morgan will be eased out when all our other CB's are fully fit. 4
OhYesNdidi Posted 25 August 2018 Posted 25 August 2018 2 minutes ago, Old Fox said: Based on what? Reputation or performances? Some of the comments are complete garbage Wes played well at United and Evans was poor last week - how we kept a clean sheet last week was pure luck.... Agree with Amartey being a risk if it’s 4-4-2 but otherwise it’s a good team but the players need to perform. I am not a particular fan of Puel but last week Evans and Albrighton looked off it so he changes it rightly yet gets vilified ....players need to perform and personally happy if he drops them as long as he is consistent with treating them all the same. Amartey and Wes shouldn’t be playing, expect Southampton to target them both.

benpicko Posted 25 August 2018 Posted 25 August 2018 Glad Morgan's back, Evans was a ****ing nightmare. Until one of the two new centre backs are ready I'd much prefer Morgan 2

Larry_LCFC Posted 25 August 2018 Posted 25 August 2018 Looks very uninspiring. Surely we should be moving forward without Morgan, not bringing him back in after a clean sheet. Bizzare.
Foxxed Posted 25 August 2018 Posted 25 August 2018 I'd be very interested to hear what Puel says about Evans. Interesting if it's a back three.

lgfualol Posted 25 August 2018 Posted 25 August 2018 Is evans going to play the next game when Morgan inevitably has a bad match? Need some consistency with the defence. Evans ended up finishing the game strongly and despite all the pressure we kept a clean sheet.

Because I'm not sure at the moment Evans is better than Morgan. And it's about 11 players so, I'm not sure either that Ricardo+Albrighton is better than Amartey+Ricardo Edited 25 August 2018 by yks

SheppyFox Posted 25 August 2018 Posted 25 August 2018 Love it. Dominated Utd with this lineup and Morgan being back isn’t an issue, even for me. The new lads aren’t ready and Evans isn’t fit as far as I’m concerned for 90 minutes. 3

Formation makes a big difference here. Hope they can be flexible 5321? Yeah that should work. We stand a much better chance with 12 men. Perfect formation I wonder why CP has not tried this before? 3

Bet mark Hughes is rubbing his hands together as we speak. Well Lukaku didn’t score, so not literally. 12 minutes ago, OhYesNdidi said: Did Evans not ask whether he’ll be first choice or not when he signed? He was pretty rubbish last week, and doesn’t look up to speed. 12 minutes ago, Haywood_6 said: Don't understand bringing Amartey and Morgan back in at all. Puel's inconsistent lineups each week is quite worrying. Cos Evans was not very good last week. 9 minutes ago, The Doctor said: Evans literally gave the wolves forward a goal, got lucky Chilwell bailed him out. So not literally, cos they didn’t score! 1 2
Tuna Posted 25 August 2018 Posted 25 August 2018 Same team as Old Trafford except Mendy in for Silva, happy with that. Evans looked poor last week and Ricardo looked great further up the pitch. Lets see what we can do when the opponent doesn't get a penalty within 30 seconds. 1

I'm sure Morgan knows his days are numbered, he is 35 after all. It's his last season here and he's smoothing over the transition for one of the new lads to take his place.
