Wilfred Ndidi

[Dusty]

Doesn’t look the same player atm and not sure why. He looks a liability defensively and on the ball is really struggling. When the defenders have the ball, he seems to keep hiding behind the opposition players so that he can’t receive the ball and it’s making progressing the ball really hard. I would consider giving Mendy a go as I feel this is a strength of his.

I thought he had his best game in months on Saturday.

Got a bad feeling about his injury, especially as Rodgers mentioned the dreaded ligaments word in the post match interview. Don't want to sound pessimistic but could be season end for him. 

 

When's the next presser?

Out for a few weeks

[Tom12345]

Give us a break, injuries. Now he is on the treatment table. Please call the monks in.

[Nicolo Barella]

Think we've pushed him too hard over the last couple years, and he may not ever be able to recover his previous levels

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Bollocks. Still think Wilf is our best player with the exception of a motivated Youri. Good chance for Papy. 

[Paninistickers]

Exaggerates the mind numbingly stupid decision to pick a 3rd keeper ahead of Papy for the EL squad. And i say that as a paid up member of the  pro-Rodgers camp

Don't you have to have 3 GKs as part of the registration requirements?

Nope. We could select 2 plus the third (if needed) drafted from the club trained  u/21 rule....ie the big American lad .....there was no uefa requirement for 3 keepers. 

 

As I said, a dreadful decision

They hope that he is.

I'm guessing that with all his experience Brendan would know the likelihood of needing 3 keepers is pretty slim. I don't think he'd pick 3 keepers every European match unless he had to

You would think so. But it seems he didn't even know we were in the Conference Cup until someone told him.

So I doubt he knew we could draft in a GK from the development squad if needed.

He tends to be one who comes back quicker than first anticipated when the injury is nasty and then out longer when it's just a knock/strain. Let's hope he's back for the QF's onwards.

Given our #2 keeper is probably out for the season, I am nor second guessing the decision.

Agreed. You only have to get one injury to a senior keeper and suddenly you're on very thin ice. Probably not worth the risk.

Well it depends on the number of weeks he's out for

Nigeria 🇳🇬 will miss him for their WC playoffs v Ghana 🇬🇭 

[Spudulike]

Rodgers just confirmed again that Wilf is not looking good and now describing his knee injury as 'serious' 

[Tanya]

Sigh. The injury gods properly hate us.

were paying back for 'that' season that literally no-one seemed to get injured !

[when_you're_smiling]

He’s going to be a huge loss against Eindhoven. Think he was key to us getting through v Rennes.

[turlo]

oh ffs.  A number of weeks in Rodgers terminology = could miss the rest of the season!
