oxtonfox Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 It's a difficult one in deciding which way to call it and whether to go "eyeballs out" to win this with our best available 11. I would say this though: it's going to be cold! and that increases the chances of a ligament or strain type injury that we can't afford at this key stage of the season. Heaven forbid if any of Vardy/Ndidi, Justin, Your or Madders pick up anything. We don't want or need an extra 30 minutes should it be level at full time. There's every chance of this happening given Brighton's recent form. My guess is Brendan will try and get more changes in than he wants to given the Liverpool game is so important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel it's an honour to play Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. Fair enough. Don't get me wrong, I'd love us to win the FA Cup too, but I equally want the club to progress and play in the ECL. That night against Sevilla was incredible, for example. That was a winning performance, even if it didn't result in a trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 It's quite possible that this present level of success won't last. It wouldn't surprise me to see us relegated in the next 10 years, that's been the history of our club. How long are we going to be competitive enough to win things? We should grab what we can, while we can. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 Doesn't matter what form Liverpool are in, we'll crap our pants and get turned over easily like we usually have in recent times against them. So might as well go all out against Brighton. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should grab what we can, while we can. Not sure there’s any historical reference point to predict what will happen to Leicester city at the moment. I’m not sure we’ve ever been this established in the top division (a top 6 quality playing squad rather than a workman like team with 1 or 2 quality players, world class training facilities and some decent financial backing). For example, it’s not like if we lose one player, we are completely stuffed as the other 10 are at a really good level, as long as we are sensible and don’t start cutting costs / selling our assets.

Popular Post UpTheLeagueFox Posted 8 February 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 8 February 2021 We've got to go for the FA Cup. Let's not bin it off. FAC + top 6 would be an awesome season ... and there's still the UEL in the mix. Yes, top four can help us attract better / keep the better players but they want trophies as much as we do. 2015/16 came a bit quickly for us (if that makes sense) and we weren't ready to kick on. We're making steady progress now - let's give the FAC a real go! (Even if we have to shiithouse four wins along the way) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffschlupp Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 Rodgers says he'll have a look at one or two young players, I expect that at least means a debut for Leshabela. Ward Amartey Soyuncu Fuchs Thomas Mendy Leshabela Under Maddison Albrighton Iheanacho Schmeichel, Daley-Campbell, Ricardo, Evans, Choudhury, Tielemans, Perez, Barnes, Vardy Looks very weak on paper but I can't see it being much stronger than that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turlo Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 Ricardo, Barnes, Youri could do with a rest, maybe Madders and Justin as well. He'll want to go into the Liverpool game in as best shape as possible and I think he take a risk of resting 4-6 players against Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daley-Campbell is horse manure. A modern day full back who cannot attack, not a single goal or assist since he arrived here over 18 months ago. I honestly am shocked he's involved. God to hear a few might get a chance though. Ben Nelson getting injured just at the wrong time, would likely be our youngest player for many many years.

Manini Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 I’ve built this up in my mind now and I really want us to have a proper crack at the FA cup this season. I will be absolutely seething if there’s too much rotation here. 8/10 we lose to Liverpool no matter what team we put out in my view so get this one won and get in to the quarters of the cup! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Nelson getting injured just at the wrong time, would likely be our youngest player for many many years. I think that's a bit harsh on Daley-Campbell, I think he's not technically a bad player but I do agree he isn't great going forwards, but they're having a look at him at CB at the moment in the U23s which might be where he can excel. He might be one of those that excelled in the younger age groups because of his physical attributes and now he's coming up short, though. I've been very impressed with Nelson, especially given he's been thrown in with a fairly inexperienced partner in O'Connor (or even Godsmark-Ford) in the U23s - Johnson, Hughes, Knight, Pascanu etc. are all long gone. I would expect Leshabela to be the only one to get on the pitch, though. U23s have got a fairly thin squad so tonight's game could be interesting if others are training with the seniors and therefore can't play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
