Aus Fox Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 Same team who played against Zorya, maybe rest Costange if he has a knock and bring in Justin.

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 I think there needs to be some rotation before the Leeds game - even if we have the extra day recovery. I’d go with: Schmeichel Justin Fofana Morgan Fuchs Choudhury Praet Under Perez Barnes Iheanacho 3

Steve Earle Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 Ward JJ Fofana Morgan Thomas Mendy Under Tielemans Maddison Albrighton Iheanacho. Subs - everyone else!

TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 The one player we should be resting is Youri. His fitness has come on leaps and bounds since we first loaned him however, he still looks leggy and blowing after about 80mins. He's played throughout the international break so I would be resting him if we can. 3
FoxesWalk Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 (edited) Tielemans, Evans and probably Barnes are due a rest. Vardy should be on the bench too, hopefully isn’t needed at all. Would like to see Under start his first game for us. Might see Under, Perez and Nacho crowbarred into the same side. Edited 26 October 2020 by FoxesWalk
StriderHiryu Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 Buzzing for this game now after the two wins in a row and the enjoyable nature of watching us play against a team we knew little about last week. Just a shame the blue army can't be over there to support the team, but looking forward to a good game. Agree with everyone else on here that we should rotate, time to give minutes to the likes of Nahco, Albrighton, Morgan and Perez. COYB!
Aus Fox Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 It’s hard to rest anyone when we only have 18 players available for this game.
CosbehFox Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 With all our strains and stiff type injuries, probably step off the plane with six fit players

Spudulike Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 Are we doing AEK Athens a disservice by suggesting we rest our top players? They might prove to be decent especially at home in front of a crowd which I believe can be quite vocal.
RowlattsFox Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 Difficult because if we concentrate on beating these and Zorya home and away then we are through. Doesn't matter what we do against strongest team in the group. Need to make sure we have enough to win the game. Don't know anything AEK to know if it's a game for Morgan of not but we don't have any alternative at centre back. If Thomas can play I can see him sticking with Fuchs as left centre back alongside Morgan and Fofana.
rachhere Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 Kasper Justin Fofana Evans Thomas Choudhury Maddison Praet Under Iheanacho Albrighton Still disappointed in some ways that we let KDH go out on loan - I would definitely have got him on the pitch at some stage for this one.
fox_up_north Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 I'd go as full strength as possible, really. Got extra 24 hours to prepare for the Leeds game. Out of interest - given our slightly depleted squad and the fact we bagged 3 points against Arsenal - would we be happy to focus on getting the EL group sewn up as quickly as possible or should league still be priority? My feeling is that we can, realistically, get the EL group done and dusted by this time next month, with 2 games to spare. Athens away, then both Braga fixtures. That takes us to 26th November. In that time, we'll have had Leeds, Wolves and Liverpool. I'd like another 3-4 points out of that lot but I'd accept two bore draws and a loss, if it meant that by the Fulham game on the weekend of 28th Nov (most likely Sunday or Monday), we can then go back to prioritising the league and hopefully smash Fulham, Sheffield and Brighton before a very heavy Christmas. Thoughts?

Thoughts? Absolutely. Our returning players could work in our favour though. We’ve been very lucky to pick up points where we have without the main core of the team. Get EL sorted in the next month and then over Christmas you’ve got Cags, Wilf, Ricky all coming back to bolster the options for a sprint up the table. I was getting a bit worried after b2b defeats but I think we’ll be ok. Finish 8th this year, a good EL run and a shot at a cup - I’d take it.
Spudulike Posted 26 October 2020 Posted 26 October 2020 I take it top 2 go through? Does it matter if we finish 1st or 2nd?

If anything he looked better after 75 mins than all game
