siraaj_lcfc Posted 12 December 2018 Share Posted 12 December 2018 (edited) We should start players like Ghezzal, Iborra and Lord Farquaad. Need to rest key players against Manchester Citee. This should be an easy win if CP doesn't decide to randomly Park the Battle Bus. Edited 12 December 2018 by siraaj_lcfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 12 December 2018 Share Posted 12 December 2018 Hopefully we drop Ndidi for this one. He seems to be stagnating and could do with a bit of a kick up the arse. I'd go Iborra and Mendy for this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post volpeazzurro Posted 12 December 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 12 December 2018 (edited) It's problematic isn't it. Weaken the team for this or for the cup match. Weaken it for this and lose, people will be pointing to our next group of harder games and say it was crazy not to target 3 points. Weaken it for the cup match and lose, people will scream lack of ambition again. A manager can't possibly win. ??

Not like we've been strong recently. If Vardy is half fit I wouldn't start him. Bring him on for 30 mins at end as a warm up for Tuesday. Otherwise we shouldn't be resting too much for Tuesday as is doesn't really matter who plays.

Don't matter how good Bravo is at saving Pens. Fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t referring to that tho if you look at the OP I was saying if we had started a stronger side we probably wouldn’t have needed penalties because with the subs that came on we looked the better side against them last year The squad from both teams wasn't that weak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 12 December 2018 Share Posted 12 December 2018 FWIW, I've noticed that when Iborra tweets something about the next match and how excited he is (which he just did) he usually starts. So expect him on the lineup card Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 12 December 2018 Share Posted 12 December 2018 I would play as close to a full strength team on Saturday and likewise on Tuesday. Forget the upcoming games after that. Only Vardy is really a protection worry right now, Maguire might have to be eased back in but for once defence isn't as much of a worry as it has been. I'd prefer us to be a but more direct vs Palace and if that requires 4-4-2 and Maddison have a breather for Tuesday then so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he uses stats and abilities to pair them up for kissing apparently I heard he uses those paper fortune teller things to pick the team each week. This week, Okazaki picked blue, then the number 5, so apparently his crush is going to ask him out in the next 3 days after he plays as the lone striker. True story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 12 December 2018 Share Posted 12 December 2018 Last season was one of, if not the worst away performance I have ever been to that I can remember. Hoping I don’t regret going to this one as well, watching that kind of performance just ruins the entire weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means taking all games seriously in the order they come in. Well, that is certainly one approach. We could look around the PL and see how much the different sides have used your approach, rather than Puel's. But life is short. I'm not sure what the proportions would be, but I imagine Claude isn't the only one trying to nurse a squad through the period in this way, working extremely closely with the coaches and sport scientists to maximise our effort over the whole period, rather than waiting for the players to hit the wall and hoping things will work out. I would suggest Claude's is the modern way, all this business about players 'going into the red' and all that. Clearly, I don't really understand it , but they are continually collecting masses of data on players, and I guess the big sides all look at that data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
