He doesn't have two guys directly blocking him. He's had an extraordinarily successful half-season on loan, while Hamza has been an intermittent bomb scare. We have no depth at creative MF if we don't sign one, so unless there's no squad rotation at all (and even for Rodgers that's impossible) KDH would have to play. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom12345 1,265 Posted 13 January Report Share Posted 13 January 7 hours ago, Koke said: Puel recalled Barnes from West Brom and threw him straight into the first team. Can see KDH being recalled and getting serious minutes here with FA Cup, Europa League and Premier League heavy schedule coming up. Barnes had a lot to thank Puel for, as it turns out. Because of this, when Rodgers came in, Barnes was in the first team and continued to give him a run of games. As most managers do, when they first come in, they tend to stick to the then first team for a while before making changes. As Barnes was already in, as it so happened, it gave him a head start and he did well to stay on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KDH is not behind Hamza because they're two different types of player. Hamza is behind Wilf and Mendy. KDH is behind Telemans and Praet. KDH has played for us this season against Arsenal in the League Cup and has spent the last 3 months at Luton which might explain his lack of game time here. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Fox 72 2,277 Posted 13 January Report Share Posted 13 January (edited) I think we should bring KDH back if we have that option as part of the loan deal. We'll need an extra midfielder with Praet being out. We saw what happened last season when we didn't have enough squad depth. He should get plenty of game time with us still competing in three competitions. He's one of our own..... Edited 13 January by Blue Fox 72 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harpendenfox 1,310 Posted 13 January Report Share Posted 13 January I would most definitely recall him now if we can. If DP is out for 3 months we undoubtedly need cover for YT and JM. Sure he would be on the bench primarily, but he would see plenty of action, and once he’s on the pitch it’s up to him to show if he deserves a start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hackneyfox 1,447 Posted 13 January Report Share Posted 13 January If Praet is out for a few weeks we need cover, so bring him back and the send him back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lcfceaves 706 Posted 13 January Report Share Posted 13 January Leave KDH at Luton. In the long run him playing week in week out will be more beneficial than getting the odd game here. Aside to that, Praet has played further forward than I expected and was almost an inside forward at times against Stoke. We have Under and Choudhury who between them can play praets various roles. Especially when Praet hasn’t started that often, I don’t see what all the panic is about. Granted if another midfielder gets a long term injury, then we should consider bringing him back. But we also have a couple of youth players who have been in and around the first team squad in training so I still don’t think we’d be rushing to recall him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have no depth at creative MF if we don't sign one, so unless there's no squad rotation at all (and even for Rodgers that's impossible) KDH would have to play. Hang on a minute. Creative midfielders to me means accurate passers,not just direction but correct weight of pass, Some would add "vision" but movement by the players ahead often have more to do with that than the MF's vision. Fofana and Soyuncu can and often do come forward (but only one at a time guys) and both are accurate passers of the ball,and presumably will both be in the team. With these two, Pereira, Thielemans and Madison, I think we're ok on creative midfield strength. Evans as well I've seen pass forward balls that had he had the label ,you would have sworn came from a creative midfielder. The beauty of having Castagne and Justin is that Pereira could maybe play as a creative midfielder, and Luke Thomas looks as if he's developing maybe into a Justin/Castagne type defender, even more likely with those two as examples in the same club. You don't hear the phrase "total football" as much now, but it always seemed a wonderful way of playing to me. I've maybe become a bit more realistic about our chances of winning the league (top 4 I still think we can do) but the more I've watched the team lately the more impressed I am with what we've already got in players , and there seems to me a growing belief within BR and the team.

With Iversen going out on loan and Jakupovic apparently not trusted, we need to recall Sir Keir Dewberry-Horlicks from Melchester Rovers quickly to provide much needed cover in goal. I always think, maybe wrongly, competent GKs are found more easily and cheaply than any other position. Maybe unfair to Kasper who I think brings a lot more to the club and team than just goalkeeping. They tend not to get injured too much either, despite it looking a dangerous position. We have n't got a Duke or a Lord floating around as a striker have we ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leicester_Loyal 5,313 Posted 14 January Report Share Posted 14 January Can't see how we'll contest the EPL, FA Cup and Europe with only Ndidi, Mendy, Hamza Tielemans and Maddison as our midfielders. Surely we're gonna have to get another body in or use a youth player? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingfox 4,887 Posted 14 January Report Share Posted 14 January The news we were expecting unfortunately We can’t go three months constantly playing Youri, if he gets injured then we’re well and truly fvcked. I doubt anybody wants to see a midfield combo of Ndidi & Mendy or Ndidi & Choudhury anytime soon. KDH must be recalled or we have to get another ‘Number 8’ in on loan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
