Gray and Chilwell also mentioned and they will/would be a loss. Leicester need quality replacements 2/3 injuries we look dreadful I think you're moving the goalposts here. You said the bomb squad need replacing, and now you're saying it's not about that. Chilwell has been replaced very well. Castagne looks a much, much better player for 2/5 of the price. Gray is 4th or 5th choice winger and doesn't really get into the 25 man squad. We've had a great start to the season barring yesterday and that was both without injured key players Ricardo and Wilf, and new additions Under and Fofana. I think we've done very good business this window, and I think you'll find every club looks significantly worse when 2 or 3 key players are injured. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct - we are missing Riccy, Ndidi and Maddison from our starting 11. All Top class players. Any team misses 3 of their starting 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would drop out to make way for these 2/3 other players? You've already signed Under so your already a wide player up in terms of numbers. You've replaced Chilwell and Gray hasn't left yet. I think given the amount of injuries you've had of late and how you've performed would suggest that depth is in fact there. To win games the way you have thus far this season minus Evans, Ndidi, Ricardo, Maddison (not fully fit) suggests the squad depth is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of Chris Woods. I'd take Chris Wood though, but would cost far too much and wouldn't want to be a backup striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers said something about him staying if we don't sign a player in that position, so they've probably had a look but can't find a value option. It's probably not ideal for his development but it would only be for the next 3 months and then hopefully we can bring someone in during January to let KDH out on loan again. It gives us a squad of 26 (27 with Thomas) - Rodgers has said before he likes to have 22 outfielders but long-term injuries to Ndidi and Ricardo (at the very least) have probably necessitated keeping an extra one or two bodies around. Think KDH was unlucky not to be on the bench Vs West Ham, especially when you consider 3/6 of our midfielders were injured. I guess the 3atb selection means KDH wasn't needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the 3atb selection means KDH wasn't needed. It was probably a case of Rodgers preferring to have three attacking subs (Iheanacho, Under, Albrighton) and then a more defensive midfielder. You don't want Mendy to get injured and have to bring KDH on, whereas if Tielemans got injured you could move Perez into 10 and re-adjust. I think should KDH stay, it'll be a more gradual introduction. I can see him being involved against Zorya for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised Brendan didn't revert to the 4-1-2-3 that served us so well for the first 2 games, but then the loss of Praet and Maddison probably forced his hand.

Mind you, he’s 60 years old now, so I doubt he’d want to come and be back up to Schmeichel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling him for £30m and then getting him back a few years later for nothing. The best bit of business since we sold a fridge with a big head to Man Utd for £80m and pretended it was a defender Edited 5 October 2020 by Jobyfox 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
