NasPb Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Can't be just me, think Rodgers got the tactics right but the subs were awful. Have been that way for a while
Poznan34 Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Might be worth swapping Mendy/Bennett out for an U23 squad attacker, to give us another option to throw on for the last 10 if we need a goal.
Ric Flair Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 We have so few decent options, not bringing in players in January is unforgivable.
StanSP Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 The lack of options is concerning and has been for a while. Having said that, not bringing on another striker when we're chasing a game to stay in a competition is poor form. If we were still gonna lose, I'd have liked us to go out with much more fight shown in the last 15-20 minutes than what we saw today. And to do that by giving Vardy some support and another player in the box to target or find. I can only think Brendan is planning to start him on Wednesday and didn't want to risk losing him as Vardy may not be fit enough ? It goes back to not re-enforcing the squad depth with another striker in summer or at least January, though. It's a must this summer whenever possible for next season's European exploits as it is, whether it's CL or EL.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 We needed signings in January, we chose not to make any. We took the risk, and it's looking like it might come back to bite us.
Tielemans63 Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Bring Slimani back in. He might be an arsehole but he can play a bit and we're shit. Wouldn't be the worst thing for his career either. Might as well try and get something from a guy who is allegedly on £80k a week.
oxtonfox Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Without Maddison Vardy’s main supply is missing. To then keep Nacho on the bench and not to help Jamie out was inexcusable from the manager. Why not throw caution away when our options we’re reducing by the minute? I don’t get it and my couch cushion has been punched through to the foam pieces I’m sorry to say🥵
lee7 Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Baffling for me that Iheanacho didn't get any minutes today! We were crying our for some creativity. Feel sorry for Praet it seems no matter what type of performance he has he is coming off!
coolhandfox Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 When the last time Albrigton, Gray, Nacho, Hamza changed a game, our bench is woeful for a team trying to get top 4

The problems are probably a bit more complex than that.

We can't expect miracles with a midtable squad. Iheanacho maybe, but he's often hot and cold. Unless we invest heavily in the summer, I dread how us possibly being in Europe next season with the lack of depth and quality in this team will affect our league position. I don't know what the club's plan is, but I have my doubts about us being ready or able to compete in 4 competitions simultaneously.

You're right about Iheanacho, I thought he should have been subbed on today.

Seen so many people say this about Slimani, I'm confused how so many dont know about the 25 man premier league squad?
Pliskin Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Kasper Justin Evans Cags Chilly Fuchs Ricardo Youri Praet N’didi Barnes Albrighton Maddison Perez Vardy Nacho. Thats it. No one else is worth mentioning. Depth is shocking, theres no surprise we’re in free fall.

Fox92 Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Our bench is awful. That’s why I posted before about at least putting someone like Hirst on there. What we meant to do with Fuchs, Morgan and Bennett? Although I felt Rodgers should have used Kelechi. Persisting with just Vardy all game was horrific.

I’ve stood by the management team but this is sums up how I’m feeling right now. Maybe he was put off by January window being notoriously overpriced but you could then argue why on earth did we not invest better in the summer. BR might be a victim of his own success for starting season so well but I think he would have targeted to break top 6 and if so it was very shortsighted thinking out wing options are good enough.

I'd be more understanding if we hadn't seen such an alarming drop off from mid December through to the end of January. Too slow to react and now we are showing we have very little at our disposal to try and salvage this derailment. So frustrating but now we have to dig in and fight for it, this will be key for my continued faith in this team and management.

If the figures are true, it's mad to think every four weeks Slimani nearly earns the same as Cags & Maddison combined
