Finnegan Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 I'm firmly on team Play Under but I'd bet a decent amount of cash Rodgers will play Albrighton because he'll want his defensive work against what's perceived to be a free attacking Leeds. They're so shit defensively I think he'll back us to break them down regardless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes96 Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 Rest and rotation is going to be key over the next few weeks so would prefer to rotate a couple each week rather than wholesale changes for 1 game. So gone with 5 changes for this one, although wouldn’t be surprised if Brendan keeps Marc for this one due to Leeds attacking threat and swaps Ünder in for the Fulham game when we’re likely to need to break them down a bit more. But the below is what I’d go for. Schmeichel Ricardo - Evans - Söyüncü - Justin Tielemans - Mendy Ünder - Maddison - Barnes Iheanacho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleFox Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 (edited) Not one for changing formation usually but I wonder if with Wilf out we might go 352. Mendy certainly looks a better player in that system? Something like.........

when_you're_smiling Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 Posted these before but they still stand out. Put simply our Prem record when Albrighton features and when he doesn’t. With - P14 W11 D2 L1 (the Liverpool game). Without - P6 W1 D1 L4. We average 2.5 points per game when he plays. Yeah he only played a few mins in a couple of those early wins, but otherwise only N’Didi’s numbers compare. Think (but might be wrong) we’ve only conceded 11 goals when he’s been on the pitch, three of those to Liverpool, as many as conceded in the six games he didn’t play. I get why people want to see Under, but if anyone else was producing what Albrighton’s doing in terms of results they’d be considered undroppable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit Blues Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 (edited) I am somewhat out of the loop, because I couldn't catch the 2nd half against Everton, but I thought Albrighton looked pretty good in the first half. I guess his main attacking threat is lost without Vardy in the lineup, but I would like his defensive work rate in what might be a free flowing end-to-end game against Leeds. How was Under against Everton? Edited 28 January 2021 by Detroit Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casablancas Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 (edited) I think we may give them a good old thrashing. We are on it and we are very very good.

winteriscoming Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 Kasper Castagne Fofana Evans Justin Ndidi Tielmans Maddison Ricardo Under Barnes If Evans and Ndidi are out I’d start with Soyuncu and Mendy.

Very young so does make the odd error but he's made something like the third most saves in the league, he's busy and more exposed than most. Thus, he's more likely to make the odd error. Mostly, he's been outstanding and very rarely gets beaten with shots he should save. The errors are usually distribution or command of area errors. Will become one of the best in the world in a few years, it's incredibly rare to be as good as he is at 20.

deanolegend1989 Posted 29 January 2021 Share Posted 29 January 2021 (edited) Kasper Castange Soyuncu Evans Justin Fofana Tielemens Madders Under Nacho Barnes Think Nacho must start over Perez. Fofana would be great in there and enable us to keep 433. Only close one of me is Albrighton or Under. Really really rate albrighton for how he’s played but vs a Leeds team who are a bit gun ho, I’d like to see Under run at them and see what he can do. There’s an argument to start Albrighton and bring Under on, either choice is ok for me and won’t have much of an impact on the result. The biggest impact will be if Wilf plays or not, if he’s out Id love to see Fofana in there. It could be a master stroke if it works and worth a go, can’t hurt at all and gives height and physicality into the high energy team Leeds constantly show. Playing a 5 at the back is ruining our strengths and playing 433 with Mendy is asking for to be hammered.
