tickler28 Posted 11 January 2020 Share Posted 11 January 2020 Previous thread was closed....perhaps because it pains people to admit I'm right. We simply do not have enough depth in our squad to play a strong team in the Caravan Cup and expect to win at the weekend. Right now we need to concentrate on getting points to stay in the top 4. If it gets to the end of the season and we've exerted effort to do as well as we can in the cup and it's cost us the difference between 4th and 5th we are going to look very very silly. Top 4 trump's the cups by a million miles. I'm not saying we play a complete reserve side in the cup but we should have been giving our star players a break....Vardy should have been tested mid week for Nacho....Mendy should have played (since he's done well lately) Albrighton should have started since he didn't play at all today...likewise Justin to give Ricardo a break. Go ahead and shoot me down but despite being lombasted before I still stick to what I said. Things are fine now but come the end of the season if they're not by the narrowest of margins.....cup exploits will 100% have had some influence on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough distance between ourselves that we can take the league cup seriously. Yes we may have to rest players in the FA cup, but definitely not the semi final of a league cup ffs.

sdb Posted 11 January 2020 Share Posted 11 January 2020 We've played a full strength team once in the competition! And rested players in the fa cup to compensate. Running Youri ragged in the early stages I'll agree with though. Seemed strange even at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 11 January 2020 Share Posted 11 January 2020 Weve been full strength once or twice at the most. Its ridiculous the amount of excuses we can come out with for this. Choudary has barely played this season in comparison to others and he was cack today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 11 January 2020 Share Posted 11 January 2020 Sorry, not having that. I think even if we didnt have the cup we'd be struggling as we are on a bad run of form and it could well be us running out of steam, plus a young squad that is struggling to deal with a drop in confidence. Got to dig in now, losing Ndidi is a huge blow and without him we aren't anywhere near as stable. Chilwell's performances are hindering us too, we could go more defensive with 3-4-1-2 but we then need a reliable left sided player who can defend but also be dangerous in attack otherwise we become too easy to play against. I trust Rodgers to navigate us through this, we have to go and get 2-3 players if we want to hold on to this superb season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 11 January 2020 Share Posted 11 January 2020 We played a full strength team v Everto ln and Villa. Against Burton, Newcastle and whoever else we played it was a second string 11. We subsequently rested the entire team against West Ham. So all in all, our first choice have played 1 extra game than Southampton. Your logic doesn't add up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 11 January 2020 Share Posted 11 January 2020 Nah, we should go all out for the cup! Not like we are in the early rounds. We are one game from Wembley now! Would have been gutted if we had rested players mid-week and may still have gone on to lose this. Top 4 is still well within our hands. 11 point cushion to a totally inconsistent Man U who play Liverpool away next. Crao today but still buzzing about this team and where we are at over all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopfkino Posted 11 January 2020 Share Posted 11 January 2020 Idk how much its costing us, I guess you could make an argument as its added 2 games at an already busy period and the difference in rest has been at least somewhat a factor today But yeah tbh in a binary choice I'd rather CL football over winning LC. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
