Popular Post Jobyfox Posted 22 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 22 September 2020 The other argument against getting knocked out early is that this competition gives us the opportunity to give game time to our peripheral players: Ward, Gray, Albrighton, Thomas etc. We never know when a run of injuries might come along and we need these players fit, motivated and ready. It’s fourth priority at this stage of the competition, but still a competition it would be good to do well in. We need to drop this small club mentality that the squad can’t cope. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the first team doesn't come first priority than this club is doomed. If we don't prioritize the league and Europe than Rodgers might as well pack his bags and leave because we'll have nothing in the tank at seasons end again. My hate for Beaglehole grows stronger by the day. Let's hope I'm just being a drama queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since Rodgers trains full-speed Rodgers has said he needs to utilise his squad so it'll be fringe players and U23's like KDH and Thomas.

Whoever Rodgers puts out there I'll support 100%. If it's just a academy players than so be it. Always happy to watch the kids develop under pressure. Sad that we don't have a larger and deeper squad to compete like the big clubs yet. Rome wasn't built in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 22 September 2020 Share Posted 22 September 2020 Arsenal will be a harder game than Liverpool. Just go far as we can whilst resting who we need to, deliberately going out is for helmet clubs. Ward Justin Soyuncu Morgan Thomas Praet Choudhury Under Maddison Gray Iheanacho That’s strong and rests Mendy and Ndidi who we can’t really afford to lose currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnkstern Posted 22 September 2020 Share Posted 22 September 2020 Thoughts... 1. I will never root for Leicester City to lose. That being said, 2. I think this is a perfect opportunity for Brendan to expand the experience of the squad a bit. Judiciously mix in some youngsters. Perhaps Thomas, Choudhury, Dewsbury-Hall? Brendan's the manager, he will find a good fit for the team. 3. Have a couple of impact veterans on the bench in case the match is close and needs seeing out or winning. If we field youngsters and lose, I will be disappointed but understanding. In Brendan I trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not advocating starting the likes of Ndidi, Vardy and Soy who we desperately can't lose to injury, but lets name as full strength as we can with a bit of rotation to those who haven't featured so far. Is the sport science not directly against this, and going from nothing to an awful lot is when you risk injury the most? I don't know, just asking the question..

Under supposedly is unavailable, and personally I would rest Soyuncu and rather play Fuchs or Benkovic (if available) in his stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Dykes Posted 22 September 2020 Share Posted 22 September 2020 I want to see wholesale changes and no key players risked, but I don't want us getting knocked out. As someone else said, it would be good to stay in this to keep the whole squad match fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should make sure the players stay as far away as possible - no handshakes or chummy chats and the backroom team mustn’t be shaking hands or tapping elbows - there is no reason to have any contact. imagine vardy, cags and Youri missing sundays game and the following ten days of training ..... no unnecessary risks please !!!, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
