lcfc matt Posted 18 December 2018 Share Posted 18 December 2018 I actually have a feeling we will win this.i know that sounds absolutely ludicrous but what do we have to lose we are up against the current champions and they have tough games coming up too.

RowlattsFox Posted 18 December 2018 Share Posted 18 December 2018 rightly or wrongly, Puel is brave and will continue to do what he thinks is right and if he wants to rest Vardy he will do it. Hate how this stuff is leaked beforehand, every time Vardy is on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpe spot on We needed a league win. It was important to play Vardy. He's got this groin injury so needs to be managed If we had been up at Palace i'm sure he'd have taken Vardy off. Taking him off when we needed a goal and he'd have been rightly criticised If vardy can play 45 minutes tonight and still be good to start at the weekend (we can take points of Chelsea) then i'm happy with Puel's decision Edited 18 December 2018 by AlloverthefloorYesNdidi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy is no God...and neither is Puel, so the end result is not important,so that one can lay down a barrage of critic.. (Not you intended ). These next 3 games, can give us a cheery christmas/New year....or..... Write your own script Edited 18 December 2018 by fuchsntf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnewty Posted 18 December 2018 Share Posted 18 December 2018 Puels comments about mahrez yesterday make me laugh. Mahrez went on a self imposed strike yet we're all ment to ignore that. What he did was an absolute disgrace, does a player being a part of the title winning team mean we should just put up with things like that ? He was great for us but what he did was unforgivable.

Who's going to step up if we lose him? If it's a risk playing him tomorrow it was an even bigger risk playing him Saturday. Either way to have him on the bench tonight is a cock up given its our most important game over this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did what he did because he was given assurances by LCFC that if he stayed another year he would then be allowed to leave. Had his agent actually been smart enough to confirm the money that would be acceptable then much of the drama could have been avoided but Mahrez’s frustration for me was understandable.

Well take your frustration out on your agent then. Not the people who are paying your wages.

If he didnt play against Palace and it was his first game back today he would have no match fitness. He wouldnt have played a competitive game for a while. That is an important issue This way he's got recent minutes under his belt keeping him a bit sharp and hopefully he can put in a solid 45 minutes tonight, aaand we're not overtaxing him with his groin issue, perhaps keeping him well for Chelsea Its very easy to argue it either way depending on your agenda.

This is a cup QF with a potential Semi against Middlesbrough or Burton Albion. We made the same mistake last season and missed out on Bristol City in the SF - to do it again the year after would be unforgivable.

Strange how there's literally no quote from Puel saying that, nor does he say we're not prioritising the cup, if anything the opposite ("It’s important for all the squad to try to continue this journey in the cup. It is a possibility to win something at the end of the season".) Almost like the headline is sensationalised... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all very well saying we should prioritise this, but we certainly had to prioritise Palace. And we do need to rest players, we have injuries And the entertainment vultures on here wont brook us throwing away the game to Chelsea will they? They will want us to play a depleted team to match a depleted Man City team and use our best team against a good Chelsea team for maximo entertainment credits no?

Eh, depends on who the changes are. If it's Simpson behind Ricardo, ok - that set up with Amartey looked good prior to Dan's injury, and CM has been a bit sloppy the last two games.

Why did we have to prioritise Palace over this? I actually disagree with you on the last point - I think many would have a lot of respect if Puel did that and then was honest, telling fans we are going all out to try and win something isn't something that would strike me as being unpopular at all.

Everyone on here was saying Palace was a priority game because we have a tough run of fixtures You can say that but if we put out a shit team for Palace and a shit team for Chelsea and lost this anyway! Come on MattP, cant you see what a gamble that is and likely outcome and everyone would hammer Puel for it as they do for everything The fact is that rotation needs to happen in this period. Lets see what team he puts out anyway, we dont know yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
