jeffschlupp Posted 21 October 2020 Share Posted 21 October 2020 Would think it will be: Schmeichel Castagne Morgan Fofana Justin Mendy Tielemans Maddison Under Iheanacho Albrighton Subs: Ward, Jakupovic, Evans, Fuchs, Thomas, Choudhury, Praet, Barnes, Perez Room for three more on that bench given we can name 12 subs but I don't think the U23s are being tested like the seniors are so I don't think they will mix bubbles. You would think the most likely candidates would be Leshabela, Wright, Tavares and Shade if they were, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIyoungfox Posted 21 October 2020 Share Posted 21 October 2020 At some point I would like to see Perez centrally, maybe in the false 9 position that firmino and more recently Kane has been playing. I think he’s so much more dangerous in the middle and with Vardy out atm now would be a good time to try it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the number of injuries and two games a week from now until Christmas you definitely don't want to knacker everyone, there'll probably be some small knocks among a few players too. I would think we'd do similar in a typical Tuesday-Saturday week to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong the Champions League is the glamorous competition with the best teams, but this time round we would have been one of the lower seeds and not have a favourable group. We've all seen Bayern smash the North London teams by 8 goals and I could easily see that happen to us. I always felt even if we got to the Champions League, at best we would end up in the Europa. This competition we have a decent shot at and I hope we can have a decent run in it. That said the way injuries are piling up I think it will work against us rather than for us! ...there was a time when we were put in a position of adversity we would have used it for motivation!!! O'niel thrived off the them versus us and the underdog situation but I do not see anything in this team that can raise the fortitude to overcome this situation.

Poor planning. Should have included him over injured players just in case. Sorry that doesn’t get a pass from me Brendan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that doesn’t get a pass from me Brendan. Probably the only injured player he could have replaced in the registered squad was Ndidi, but its pretty obviously the club are hoping Ndidi will be able to feature in the latter games of the group stages by including him. Slimani wasn't meant to be anywhere near our Premier League squad let alone of Europa League squad, its very easy to see why he wasn't included. Would you rather register a player who you weren't expecting to be at the club anymore, or a player with a chance of playing in some of the later games? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the Europa League groups are done and dusted by December 10th and best case was Ndidi would be back in 12 weeks from the date of injury it’s a pretty big risk to take. We have ended up in a position where we’ve only got 1 striker available for our first European game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not convinced Praet is fully fit. I would rest him, put Pérez in and go 4-4-2. i think Nacho is better in a two and Pérez would be in his more natural position. Madders could rotate with Youri to save legs at some point or if not working we could take off one of the front two for Praet and change shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think we'd do similar in a typical Tuesday-Saturday week to be honest. Yup- I have read Secret Physio book (a very fascinating read by the way!) and the physio was saying that in the latter stages of the season where there are two games a week due to knockout stages, replayed/delayed fixtures or so on- it is more effective to have light training/tactical sessions and allow players to maintain their fitness via matches. It is also a bit of a myth that more injuries occurs during that period of season as players' bodies would have been fully conditioned to matches by then- more injuries occurred earlier in the season when players are coming off poor pre-seasons or do not look their bodies during summer or are still adjusting to football matches again. I would imagine most of teams would go down that route given the congested fixtures this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
