I think Under and Albrighton might be a little bemused how Perez has got in in front of them despite his latest weak performance. Admittedly it was slightly better than the previous one but that's the highest accolade I could pay him. Albrighton offers far more defensively and Under offensively by far. Perez only worthy of a bench place in case of injury for all the influence he actually has. I agree BR persists with Perez, let's hope Perez justifies it with a good game. 1

IsItMuzzy Posted 7 February 2021 Posted 7 February 2021 Mendy has also played more in the last year than he had in the previous few years combined. Might just not be up to playing 2 games a week and needs more of a rest. Plus Choudhury played well midweek so no complaints with his selection.
Langston Posted 7 February 2021 Posted 7 February 2021 I think we'll get turned over here but it's not the end of the world. I know we did well without him at the start of the season but Wilf being out is just such a huge miss.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 7 February 2021 Posted 7 February 2021 Win this and we'll have a big gap to 7th, even with an extra game played. 3

Especially when Mendy has been so good this season. It seems bizarre we're starting him when we were happy for him to be leaving on Monday. Happy to be proved wrong but Rodgers does make some weird decisions sometimes. I said the same to my mate but he made a good point about what’s he been training like. I suppose you’ve got to have a situation where players who aren’t being picked are still motivated to train well knowing that they might get their chance through that.
Stadt Posted 7 February 2021 Posted 7 February 2021 I feel like we struggle in the air against them today. Willian Jose will be a handful

When Rodgers first brought Perez back a few weeks ago he showed some aggression and fight. I also think that he played quite neatly with Vardy. However, just in my opinion, he's subsequently reverted to type.
Clarkey123 Posted 7 February 2021 Posted 7 February 2021 I’m baffled as to why hamza deserves to start instead of Mendy. Granted he was always going to be 2nd fiddle when ndidi was fit but did more than enough at the start of the season to warrant the position when ndidis out. What did hamza do to get in ahead of him?

I use the term lightly, classing as a broad spectrum. Although 'proper' Scousers do seem very much so holier than thou, always the victim, e.t.c, this then impacts and follows on to the plastics. Anyway I feel we're going off topic. Onto today, selections as expected, let's go! Edited 7 February 2021 by Matt
StanSP Posted 7 February 2021 Posted 7 February 2021 Glad we've not rushed Ndidi back. Hopefully that quells the comments of some. 1

Phube Posted 7 February 2021 Posted 7 February 2021 I'm loving the insight into this game in the build up! Cracking stuff!
goose2010 Posted 7 February 2021 Posted 7 February 2021 People saying can't see why Hamza starts ahead of Mendy. They are about the same in ability (I rate Mendy a bit higher) but against a physical team who rely on their height Hamza just gets the nod for me. 1

Mendy was poor against Leeds and showed again how he only tends to look good when there are three centre backs covering him. 1

Hamza is more combative, attack minded and offers more physicality than Pappy which is what Brendan deems this match needs in MF.
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 7 February 2021 Posted 7 February 2021 Battle of the ACL recoveries down our right / their left. It seems crazy they throwing Jonny straight back in, hopefully it can work in our favour
Webbo Posted 7 February 2021 Posted 7 February 2021 Bit surprised Daley Campbell is on the bench. Never looked like a potential first teamer to me. 3
