Drink & fatigue at work AK?

KDH is (a) on loan at Luton and (b) not in our EL squad.

He was actually named in our EL squad, not that it matters as he is at Luton anyway

[moore_94]

Few more youth players have appeared on our Squad list on the Europa League site, which usually suggests they are going to be involved with the squad for the next match (same thing happened when Leshabela and Fitzhugh were on the bench vs Braga at home)

 

Ben Nelson - 16 year old centre back

 

Sidnei Tavares - 19 year old midfielder

 

Callum Wright - 20 year old midfielder

 

Tyrese Shade - 20 year old winger

 

Shane Flynn - 19 year old winger

Ricardo 

Choudhury

Praet 

Thomas 

 

Under 

Iheanacho

Perez 

 

Half each for Ndidi and Soyuncu, can't afford them to break down again. They can hopefully play longer against AEK. Defence is a bit experimental but Justin and Ndidi have been solid enough in defence. Could be a back 4 with Ricardo playing right wing, but not sure Rodgers will want Morgan in a back 4.

 

Vardy, Evans, Fofana, Barnes, Tielemans, Mendy, probably Maddison too all start at Sheffield United so they dont here. Could put Ward in but if Kasper travels then he might as well play and help us win the group. He can have the AEK game off.

Happy days, hopefully the reason Tavares hasn't been featuring for the U23's is because Rodgers has been fast tracking him to slot in to this new turgid system, but he is that good he will do the business for us. 

[Foxxed]

I hope Hamza has a stormer.

Personally wasn't content with the back 5 against Fulham - so for me it's a back 6 here.

10atb for me. Zorya are going well and we can’t afford to be complacent.

We have to leave Evans, tielamans and vardy at home. Youri and Johnny more so, way too many games and are on there feet now.

Interesting BR didn’t mention Castagne when saying Ricardo, Ndidi & Soyuncu should all feature on Thursday.

Anyone got any inside news about Tim’s injury?

No inside news, Brendan also said post match Timmy had been ready for last weekend but then felt a pain. The scan is clear so he's being monitored and see how he is for Sunday.

@Ric Flair

This is why the Europa League can be such a beneficial competition. If a player gets chucked in and thrives, that puts them into consideration for other first-team games. Imagine Tavares coming on and bossing it, for example.

[lgfualol]

I think Rodgers will go even more negative at some attempt to prove his genius Fulham tactics:

 

Schmeichel

Justin Fofana Evans Morgan Thomas

Ndidi Mendy

Hamza Nacho Praet

[GingerrrFox]

It’s time to unleash the dream centre back pairing of Cags and Fofana.

 

Kasper

 

Ricardo

Fofana

Soyuncu

Thomas

 

Ndidi

Maddison

Praet

Under

Iheanacho
Barnes

[StanSP]

I don't think there's any chance of all 3 players returning from injury starting straight away. It's too risky. More likely they'll come on in the 2nd half for some minutes.

FFS it’s like being back at school, been to all the training sessions, put a decent performance away at OwlsTalk and still can’t make the EL squad when everyone has been rested!

Look boss, I’ve put in some solid posts with good reactions, and I’m not getting a look in. Use me or lose me

[Foxes96]

For me would leave a few of the big hitters at home (Schmeichel, Evans, Mendy, Tielemans, Vardy) and leave the returning injured players on the bench to begin with, to come on for the last 45/ 30mins. Wouldn’t risk them from the start in Ukraine, give them some minutes and they can then start their first games back at home next week against Athens.

 

Would also go back to the 4-3-3 formation, so we can get some much needed practice in at breaking down teams with all of Madders, Ünder and Barnes on the pitch.
 

 

Ward 

 

Justin

Fofana 

Morgan

Thomas

Hamza

Maddison
