I don't expect Rachel Brown-Finnis to offer anything worthwhile. Last week vs Everton she was useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winteriscoming Posted 2 February 2021 Share Posted 2 February 2021 Is fofana ok for this 1? If not I think Rodgers might go with Amartey in a back 3 with Evans and Soyuncu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Dykes Posted 2 February 2021 Share Posted 2 February 2021 My guess: Kasper Ricardo Evans Cags JJ Mendy Youri Albrighton Maddison Barnes Ayoze Subs: Ward, Jakupovic, Amartey, Fuchs, Thomas, Hamza, Leshabela, Under, Nacho Maybe we'll see Kel start, but I wouldn't be surprised to see everyone calling for Perez to be put back in again by half time. A lot of people seem to want Under to start, but I don't think Kevin deserves to be dropped, and Under's the better impact sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s great viewing for the fans but all these games within a week really isn’t helping the players. We are picking up at least 1/2 injuries per game. Not just us as well. Seen hassenhuttl saying today he’s glad they’ve got the points on board as they are struggling with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen hassenhuttl saying today he’s glad they’ve got the points on board as they are struggling with injuries. I know. Just when injuries were clearing up, as well. I'm trying to look on the bright side. At least it's a position where we have an equally good player ready to come in. We coped incredibly well with all the injuries in the first half of the season. I'm hoping it won't be quite so bad for the rest of the season, obviously, but if we can carry on managing injuries well, then maybe we'll be alright. As you say, it's not just us. Mad season.

Just glad our main 2 players Vardy and Ndidi are not long term. Imagine if it was Vardy out until April and not Praet. I hope we don’t rush both back too soon.

Blanchflower78 Posted 2 February 2021 Share Posted 2 February 2021 This game is absolutely huge for Fulham, beat us and the gap is 4 points with Brighton, level games. They will be at us from the off, pivotal in their season perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkster the Fox Posted 2 February 2021 Share Posted 2 February 2021 I'm putting this out there ( a lot games left to play this season) and we have more injuries currently. Rest Barnes / Justin (bench) Play Moore / Fuchs in some capacity 3 points is big yes, but FA cup, Europa Cup games to come, we need fresh legs over plenty more games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll put a pretty average side out against Brighton. It's a game we'll probably be not too disappointed to lose, considering everything that's going on with top 4 and euro games coming up and our injuries. And I hate myself for saying that as I'd love to see us lift the FA Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakemoore Posted 2 February 2021 Share Posted 2 February 2021 Kasper Ricardo Evans Syoncu JJ Mendy Tilemans Under Maddison Barnes Perez/Ihenacho This is what I’d go for. I don’t really care who starts up top, I think they’re both pretty average and not much of a goal threat. They both like to drop in deep so speed on the flanks is essential hence why I would drop Albrighton. Having said that, Albrighton has been great. IF we get 2/3 goals ahead Tilemans needs a rest - he must be shattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volpeazzurro Posted 2 February 2021 Share Posted 2 February 2021 2 hours ago, pmcla26 said: Well, after Fofana’s injury and my plan of playing him in midfield going to shite, I’d go with this: Kasper Soy Evans JJ Ricardo Youri Mendy Thomas Perez Madders Barnes Get Perez back in his best position as a number 10 and Barnes can be the focal point. I don’t want him to play as a 9, maybe more like how Werner did for Leipzig last season, leading the line but off of the left hand side. Madders and Perez can fill the gaps in the final third with their ability to find pockets in the half spaces. Thomas is purely for fresh legs, you could easily bring Amartey in for him and push JJ up. Perez's best position at best is on the bench, though preferably it's even better on a plane to a team on the continent. Why are we even remotely considering organising our team in order that this hapless individual can be accomodated not in his 'best' position, but in his least 'worst' position? He's utter shite wherever we put him, whatever we may think of him, Perez's last couple of performances alone dictate that Iheanacho at least deserves a chance, he'd really struggle to do any worse! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hankey Posted 2 February 2021 Share Posted 2 February 2021 Look at the stats. They've only won 2, only scored 17 and are pretty abysmal at best. With our away record second to none practically we can go to town, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
