Nalis Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Hopefully we win comfortably, Sima looked dangerous for them. Decent line up to get the job done in my view.
Koke Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Start aggressively, pass and move the way we can, and we should put these lot to bed. Be waty of the away goal though.
KingsX Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 High stakes match, especially with no away goal to bring into it. Brendan is going to have to name a strong XI and ask everything of them. 1
whoareyaaa Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Easily beatable they looked terrible in the first half
Bats8711 Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Nervous. Yes we are the better team, but anything can happen in one game and if they score first... nervous. Having no real 2nd option to Vardy for striker position is not ideal (I'd guess if needed they'd put Barnes up there?). I'd imagine Prague also rested pretty much their whole squad today and can afford to rest them game after us because they are so far out of sight in their league.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Start strong and hope for the best. 5 subs will be vital for giving players rest or giving us more energy as the game goes on. Surely Vardy can't do the full 90? If not we'll have to stick Barnes up there, but he looked shattered at the end of today. Thankfully it's at home, so with no travelling our players will have an extra days rest, plus the pitch will suit us.
Beachyboy Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Slavia Prague got a 0-0 v Midtylland of Denmark in September Champions league qualifying an lost 4-1 in the return leg, Prague were leading this game 1-0 until the 65th minute, this could be a tricky test initially, a first half like today, an i'd expect the 2nd half to hopefully be a bit more comfortable though.

st albans fox Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Kasper Amartey. Evans. Soy. Fuchs/Luke Albrighton. Hamza/pappy youri. Fuchs/luke Under Kel id like to be stronger but not sure we can be and then perform on Sunday .....I expect a palace type starting line up at Burnley .....
StanSP Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Seeing as everyone loves specific personnel, might as well go with this... Kasper Amartey - Soyuncu - Fuchs Castagne Thomas Mendy - Hamza Under - Youri - Albrighton Barnes In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised to see something like this: Kasper Castagne - Soyuncu - Evans - Thomas Hamza - Tielemans Under - Maddison - Barnes Vardy Similar to today, hopefully we can score a couple early and then manage the game/players for the 2nd half, too. If Maddison's not fit it wouldn't surprise me if Ndidi will play and Tielemans will take Maddison's position higher up the pitch. I know Rodgers doesn't rate Under so we might see Albrighton there instead.

Their European away record this year is pretty shoddy.
st albans fox Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 There are five subs available but as we saw in Prague , if you don’t get ahead then you can’t take off your best five players and then win the game ....
Sir Shep Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Away goals basically means we have to win so hopefully no fannying around and put this to bed straight away. We’ve put our stamp on the premier league, now we must show Europe that we are a force to be feared, patronised and dismissed at your peril.

Alan Frost Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 (edited) Difficult ,in the sense its hard to decide our most important match .Is it Slovenia or Arsenal ? Normally its the next match but in this case I think they are both equally critical. Probably wisest to regard Slovenia as the most important until Friday. Obviously I hope Maddison is OK but if he's not we have good alternatives and enough in my opinion to cope with both matches. Should we have picked up any other injuries today then BR might have to start thinking about setting priorities but i would n't start setting them yet. Only when its necessary should we limit what we might achieve. IMO its not necessary yet. Edited 21 February 2021 by Alan Frost
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Schmeichel Amartey Soyuncu Evans Thomas Choudhury Ndidi Albrighton Tielemans Barnes Vardy Need to keep Ricardo/Castagne fresh and I don’t think Madders will be fit. In an ideal world we’ll score a couple early then shithouse the rest of the game.

winteriscoming Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 Read that Rodgers has never got past the last 32 in Europe. Hopefully that’ll change on Thursday. Would not risk Maddison. Play Mendy and put tielmans further forward. Kasper Castagne Evans Soyuncu Thomas Ndidi Mendy Tielmans Ricardo Barnes Vardy
Pliskin Posted 21 February 2021 Posted 21 February 2021 We will shag this lot senseless. 10-0, Barnes with 9 Vardy with 1... 2
