UHDrive 746 Posted 25 June 2020 Report Share Posted 25 June 2020 Can anyone for the life of me tell me why Dennis Praet wasnt played instead of mendy last night? Even for one half with his recent injury. Just when we need a technically direct passer of the ball instead we get our least best DM making runs forward like a headless chicken. Unless BR has a plan and is splitting or strictly rotating certain players for certain games them I'm a bit lost on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spacemunky 2,518 Posted 4 July 2020 Report Share Posted 4 July 2020 I find myself focusing on Denny when he's on the pitch. Love how he's so calm on the ball and always has his next move ready. I see him just getting better and better as he plays more. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruzFOX 281 Posted 4 July 2020 Report Share Posted 4 July 2020 He has a footballing brain and technical ability groomed at the top of the serie A. We don’t need all our players to run 200mph and have no end product. Top player and glad he’s with is 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SO1 1,668 Posted 4 July 2020 Report Share Posted 4 July 2020 I'm curious about a pre game(cp) and replay today of a water break during the Everton match(sky). Rodgers was very emotional with who I think was Praet on the sideline. Interesting stuff for Rodgers who usually is so calm. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Nacho 3,912 Posted 6 July 2020 Report Share Posted 6 July 2020 Wonder what his fitness levels are like? Always seems to get dragged before 60 minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maddison came on for him at the half. So it must have been the first break. Wish I could find video of that. A bit late to discuss maybe but that "interchange" really blew my hair back. Especially watching Praet trying to knock him back. Perhaps Rodgers not always the mild mannered gent I thought him to be. Could feel the intensity. Some times I can't help myself being a bit of a "Drama Queen" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deeg67 2,957 Posted 7 July 2020 Report Share Posted 7 July 2020 I don't think it's a fitness issue - I think BR just doesn't want to use him for 90 minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sdb 2,729 Posted 19 July 2020 Report Share Posted 19 July 2020 Genuine question: is this guy any better than Mendy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bryn 2,167 Posted 19 July 2020 Report Share Posted 19 July 2020 I'm not a fan. Bang average. Versatile I guess as a squad player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ross 'LCFC' Turner 785 Posted 19 July 2020 Report Share Posted 19 July 2020 Our best midfielder before the break, has been terrible since the restart. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hales 993 Posted 20 July 2020 Report Share Posted 20 July 2020 He really doesn't look like a happy player at the moment. His reaction to Brendan in the drinks break was from a player that doesn't respect his manager, he has looked furious too when he has been taken off. Something has happened between the two of them...

I agree - would definitely not be surprised to see him move on. He wants to be playing and his form doesn’t say ‘play me’ or ‘I’m a safe pair of hands’. After all, we could easily decide to go three in the middle and Dennis doesn’t currently seem motivated to be that man ahead of hamza. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ric Flair 21,436 Posted 20 July 2020 Report Share Posted 20 July 2020 Been very poor since the restart, overall he's had a half decent start to his career here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marshall Cockney Fox 907 Posted 20 July 2020 Report Share Posted 20 July 2020 Before he seemed to be cementing a starting place. But that form he was developing has been halted. Shame. It's been a crazy season this. Dennis needs to stay focussed and try harder. I'm just not sure how he fits into a 2 man cm partnership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
That_Dude 1,898 Posted 20 July 2020 Report Share Posted 20 July 2020 Seemed to me yesterday that he wasn't on the best terms with Rodgers. He's been anonymous since the restart. I hope it's temporary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrentFox 2,876 Posted 20 July 2020 Report Share Posted 20 July 2020 For me, I think he’s been anonymous since he arrived. I get that we all, myself included, desperately search for signs of brilliance. But the truth in my head is that he’s been virtually without influence in a game since joining. Not talking about can he run or pass. But influence. Like doing something that actually impacts the game. So very, very little by way of return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blanchflower78 572 Posted 20 July 2020 Report Share Posted 20 July 2020 Rodgers lost his head with him at Everton, camera on it when he gave him a blast and thumbed him to the stands. Definitely something gone on as body language hard to ignore. Smell a quick summer sale back to Italy.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hales 993 Posted 20 July 2020 Report Share Posted 20 July 2020 I like him and he has done some great things but something is not clicking between him and Brendan which is surprising given Brendan's man management skills. Dennis just looks thoroughly unhappy everytime I see him. That's sad to see and maybe he isn't in the position he thought he would be in? Maybe he isn't happy with warming the bench so much? He is subbed a lot when he starts and many times it has seemingly been unjustified. I don't think fitness is the issue so I feel like there is something going on between him and Brendan. He also doesn't seem to have fitted in with the team as much as others have e.g Perez and Youri..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mapperleyfox 160 Posted 20 July 2020 Report Share Posted 20 July 2020 He got off to a good start but seems to have regressed for some reason. Last few performances off the bench have been shocking. Wouldn't be a surprise to see him sold in the window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
