Justin, Thomas, Fuchs all available None of which are first choice in that position, and our first choice might be out for a while? It wouldn't be the first place i'd strengthen, but if Castagne is out long term i'd like us to at least look for a more experienced loan there!

I am really struggling to see how we are going to efficiently get out of 2nd gear. it has been the sane trend after losing to Liverpool on Boxing Day and a repeat is happening. we do not create enough chances across the face of goal and our build up play is alarmingly slow. Sunday worries me immensely, I mean, just look out chances created and converted from open play. How many corners have we failed to create anything from? Are we working on this enough in training? when we play well it is a delight to watch and always a pleasure and never a choir but this Sunday worries me sick.

Yep probably. We were linked with a porto left back just before the Liverpool game too.

I think there's nothing wrong with us signing a left back to be honest. If we do... - Thomas goes out on loan - That player rotates with Castagne - Justin rotates with Ricardo - Succession planning in place for when Ricardo leaves in the summer 1
lozzyblue fox Posted 4 December 2020 Posted 4 December 2020 Two weeks ago everyone was happy and predicting a Liverpool win. Now its all doom and gloom with hardly anyone predicting a win. I think the players are fed up playing so defensive and passing back sideways back etc. Rogers has no plan B and if this carries on for much longer we will tumble down the league with so many teams being bunched together. 1
whoareyaaa Posted 4 December 2020 Posted 4 December 2020 38 minutes ago, StriderHiryu said: Ricardo news is terrible. I think with them being out for so long even a little tweak elsewhere is possible due to muscles that are not being used in preparation for a game .. looks like Justin and Thomas in thee LB and RB positions we are extremely light at the back Evans is one bad fall away from being out as well

Might just go for Madders instead of Barnes to start. Harvey’s played a lot of football this season, not all of it successfully.
Countryfox Posted 4 December 2020 Posted 4 December 2020 Wilf in back 3 for as long as is safe ... Perez to get a start ... Barnes to come on later when the blades are knackered and might just score if he can get a shot on target ... Overall very confident with this one ... but if they all fade and roll over we are fvcked !! 1
messerschmitt Posted 4 December 2020 Posted 4 December 2020 Can't see the point in playing 3 Cb's, we're short on defenders and playing people out of position to fill in denfense hasn't worked well, we've still leaked goals. I'd go with something more attacking to take the pressure off us at the back, best form of defense and all that. 4
KrefelderFox666 Posted 4 December 2020 Posted 4 December 2020 I am considering not bothering with this game. It's just frustrating watching us at the minute, really boring. It will be the inevitable awful 0-0 first half followed by Sheff Utd taking the lead with some luck and us then getting a 1-1 at best. For the benefit of my family, I will avoid getting annoyed watching the match and then being grumpy for the rest of the night. It's hard to watch us after seeing what we are capable of. There have been glimpses this season but the Liverpool match seems to have sucked everything out of us again. 2

Your choice of course, but a reminder that 12 days ago we were top of the table and everyone was happy 3
adejo92 Posted 4 December 2020 Posted 4 December 2020 (edited) Schmeichal Justin Fofana Evans Fuchs Under Tielamans Maddison Thomas Vardy Barnes Think it would be worth a punt. Vardy and Barnes seem to link up well and pushing Thomas in to a more attacking role may benefit from his direct play and crossing ability (albeit Arial deliveries are pointless). Having watched Ricardo and Ndidi last night, both looked like they were lacking match fitness and were clearly both worried about worsening their injury status (Understandably)..That said, i think they need some more U23 play to get back to 100%. Sheffield United are there for the taking if we set up to attack them from the get go - I fear that if we allow them possession, and confidence, they'll punish us. Edited 4 December 2020 by adejo92

I hope the players show a bit more moral fibre. 7 1
Heymister2015 Posted 4 December 2020 Posted 4 December 2020 Do not bring ndidi back for this game! Let him rest for next weeks Europa match! The amount of times we’ve rushed players back is starting to get embarrassing!! 3

HybridFox Posted 4 December 2020 Posted 4 December 2020 Give N'Didi a bit more time to ease in. May have to fill in at CB again for us the rate the injuries are going! Mendy has been great for us so why change it at the moment.

Raw Dykes Posted 4 December 2020 Posted 4 December 2020 We've been shite for a few games now, and I'm not expecting a win here. I just want to see some urgency or threat for a bit longer than 5 mins. Just some sign that Rodgers can turn this around. Sheff Utd will be well up for this. I think we're likely to be down in the dumps or complacent. Please prove me wrong. 1
Stadt Posted 5 December 2020 Posted 5 December 2020 I think we’ll win but it’ll be an arduous watch. They’ve only scored 4 all season (although created more good chances than that tally suggests) so if we concede more than once we’re a bunch of morons that don’t deserve anything nice.
