HybridFox Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 Opportunity to get fans back on side and cement the European Tour! Not sure how we'll set up but if there was ever a game to get the season kickstarted again...
funkyrobot Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 It would be an absolute treat to watch Lampard’s latest franchise ‘Frank Lampard’s Chelsea™️‘ get beaten but we are getting punished at the moment so I expect a shithouse referee and a painful winter break, nursing an unlucky loss to his new franchise just after being robbed of a day at Wembley by the biggest shithousers in the prem - Villa.

Katy Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 I’ll think about it nearer the time, I’m too bloody annoyed to think about yet another game so soon. Brendan has a massive job lifting morale for the rest of the week, I don’t envy him that!
Onions Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 Can’t believe I’m saying it, but Vardy can’t start. He’s clearly not fit enough, didn’t touch the ball for 17 minutes today (granted not his fault as we were shite) but there he wasn’t making the runs he does

Okay lost today (yesterday now) but fact we were in the semi finals means we did better than everyone else apart from the 2 finalists (and Man Utd who we'll be on par with) and we're still in the FA cup. It's a season where we've set records for the highest margin of victory in a premier league away fixture winning 9-0 and we still have one of the best goal differences in the league. And you're arguing that our team is that bad you can only name 5 players? Jesus wept. I love the way FT blows a result out of proportion!
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 Ricardo's defensive and positional frailties have started to creep in again. I'd still like to see at least just one game with him moved forward to the wing, to give him full reign to use his attacking prowess without burdening him with too much defensive responsibility, with Justin brought in at right back. If it doesn't work, at least we'll then know. Schmeichel Justin Evans Soyuncu Chilwell Ricardo Ndidi Praet Barnes Maddison Vardy (if fit, Iheanacho if Vardy isn't fit).

So you are saying you'd sell Maddison, our creative spark, Ricardo, who has been one of our better players and all our wingers? I know you're probably hurting after that game, but don't you think this is a massive over reaction? I feel we are in need of a winger, but to say you don't want half our team is s little OTT. Just remember where we've come from over the years, and think of tiatto, Elvis Hammond, McGivern, mo sylla and co, then tell me our team now is crap! Just needs tweaking, not a whole rebuild.
Lesta2014 Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 Unsure whether il bother, we are luckless at the minute and VAR/referees got me at the point of not wanting to watch premier league football anymore!
sdb Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 Biggest game of the season now. Win, and it becomes a top 3 and the rest. Lose, and suddenly everyone will scent our blood. Huge test for the players.
LestaAl Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 So playing a top 4 position club is always going to be a tricky match but ...my concern is that after the Villa result the supporters may have a shorter fuse than normal if we do not come out and play with purpose.
RowlattsFox Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 I'd take a point. Have a break and come back fresh for the run in.

Fox92 Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 More of a dangerous side away from home. I'm not confident, put it that way, but at our best we can beat them.
kingcarr21 Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 Sounds like people are really worrying about getting caught. We are currently 14 points clear of the teams in 5th 6th and 7th. So even if Chelsea beat us, at worst we will only be a measly 11 points ahead of 5th and still 5 points clear of Chelsea. This game isn't the be all and end all. People might start to think the wheels are coming off but what better time for the winter break to come in so things can settle down. I'm going to say it. Top 4 is done. I don't care if its 3rd or 4th for us. I want a massive team in the champs league group stages so if we are pot 4 that's fine with me. People just need to calm down. Stick to how we play, its been successful on the whole so far. Time for Ndidi to show the world that he is at least on par with Kante. Personally I think it will be a draw. Which will not be a bad result at all.
ARTY_FOX Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 Just hoping for a reaction. Really hoping that we go at them. None of this stand off the big teams crap. The lads have it in them to sweep these aside, I just hope they show it. We bottled it last night but it's the kind if defeat that makes you or breaks you. Going 3-0 city Come on Leicester!!!
Farrington fox Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 2 -3 months ago I felt we’d win every game, and we pretty much did. Things are different now, can’t quite put my finger on why, but now I’m not expecting to win any game atm. Absolutely not saying we can’t beat them, but I’ll be mightily surprised if we do.

I was joking! More of a carry on from another thread where I said if we got rid of everyone who fans had an issue with we'd have a squad of 5 On that note I'd like to remove Evans and Schmeichel from the side based on comments I've seen in the last 12hrs
Matt Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 Concerned. On the evidence of how we’ve performed in the big games this season well we’ve not have we. Thats the one question mark I have with Rodgers, I’m not moaning about him, calling for him to be sacked or even criticising him, I’m delighted with the job he’s doing but the questions are there to be answered and proven against. Ironically the game against Chelsea earlier in the season looked like we were rolling over but we did manage to find some grit and fight to come back and get a draw. I think Chelsea are similar to ourselves, had a good season, their position probably flatters them a little (like ourselves), had everyone else turned up but failed to impress in the big games and currently going through a dodgy spell themselves. Bore draw anyone?

On top of that Nacho is possibly our most in-form player and leading the line very well. At the moment I have zero issues with Nacho starting for us, he's turning in good performances and making an impact every game.
RowlattsFox Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 I'd keep Vardy on the bench, don't think he looked anywhere near fit last night, cameo off the bench and let him rest for a couple of weeks. Iheanacho in good form and doesn't deserve to be dropped. I'd go same as night and see what the reaction is. Barnes was terrible last night but there are no better alternatives.
Ricey Posted 29 January 2020 Posted 29 January 2020 I just want to see us turn up for once in a big match. Nothing clever tactically from Rodgers, just a team turning up with fire in their bellies and ready to prove a point.
