Yes that includes two keepers, we do love to make a big deal out of small irrelevant things on here don’t we. There weren’t any younger players who would have benefited from exposure to a matchday experience? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a point that the squad isn't big enough. Not saying he's wrong but if he is just trying to make a point, seems silly when a youth player could gain vital experience of playing in europe if we get a comfortable lead and put them on. Missing 1 u23 game wouldnt be the end of the world for a player and wouldnt make the u23 team any weaker We aren't the only club that haven't named a full bench, Roma have named 9, Arsenal have named 10, Levekusen have named 10, Napoli have named 10, all who have also named 2 keepers With our current injury record Rodgers would probably prefer for our youth players to be playing 90 mins (rather than potentially 5 mins off the bench) so they stay at least some level of match fit so if we get that desperate they can then feature on the bench in later games 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously just stick a kid on there, in fact there is no reason not to put Thomas on the bench? That’s a Mourinho trick for when he’s telling his bosses he’s not happy with the transfer window or his squad depth. BR has learnt from the master.

lnkstern Posted 22 October 2020 Share Posted 22 October 2020 All: Thank you for the further information concerning twelve players allowed for the bench. I definitely did not know that. In light of that, naming two keepers is not so strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them couldn’t have sat in the bench and got an experience that is wasted on two reserve goalkeepers? They don’t even have to play! They would have been experiencing and sampling a match day.

Maybe, would have been a wonderful experience for someone, admittedly you would want if for the most deserving and maybe they are needed for the u23’s Or maybe Rodgers is just being a bit of a dick.

My fault, I sent Brendan a DVD of our F.A.Cup 1/4 Final V Shrewsbury to enrich his knowledge of our barmy history. Seriously though, imagine the regret in the very unlikely event of Kasper getting injured and his replacement getting sent off or vice versa and we had two empty places on the bench.....it's an insurance policy but of the most cautious kind.

fuchsntf Posted 22 October 2020 Share Posted 22 October 2020 Statement a day ago from Rodgers... Under may have to be patient Cengiz Under is now the only one of Leicester City's three summer signings to not make a start for the club, but he may have to remain patient. The Turkish winger is still trying to get to the right fitness level, said manager Brendan Rodgers, who hinted that he would gradually increase the 23-year-old's game-time. “Just in terms of football fit, he needed to get up to speed,” said the boss. "He’s adapting to our training and work and over the next few weeks, he’ll get some more game-time. “He looks good in training, but naturally it takes a little bit of time when players move to a new country, and settling in, so I anticipate over the next few weeks, his game-time will be more than what it’s been.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
