OrielCaziado Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 All those calling for a strong side and get it done in the first 60min and take key players off etc, you just know a scoreless draw is incoming with extra time to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 Took a peek at the highlights of their game yesterday on You Tube. That pitch looks like the the surface at Derby's old ground. Their coach's comments about pitches in the Czech League may have some truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Lcfc Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 (edited) 10 hours ago, Reg Vardy said: He hasn’t played in many key games.....has he? my original point was we have one of the very best strikers in our history, but he hasn’t scored any in the last 9 weeks...yet we are still winning and scoring.....the reliance on Jamie isn’t as great as it was a year ago, as Maddison and Barnes mature, their goal scoring has gone up with it.......JV one goal since December 21st....team one defeat.....fairly logical to me.... We have definitely become less reliant on Vardy because Barnes, Tielemans and Maddison have contributed more. But as others have highlighted - JVs presence gives defenders much more to think about than Perez. Plus, Perez played many key games last season. 9 goals in 52 games is simply not good enough - it is as simple as that. So there is no point in starting him as his goal contribution is so poor.

dynamark Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 Happy with Ric playing where he did yesterday found a load of space and got several shots off.He is a very clever player in his movement and positioning 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 Not sure we will especially if madders isn't fit but I'd be tempted to gamble and have Tielemans on the bench. With the Burnley game next Wednesday we don't have the luxury of a week off. The thought of 2 defensive midfielders dies worry me but needs must. One of Castagne/Ricardo will probably sit out. Kasper Ricardo Amartey Soyuncu Thomas Mendy Ndidi Under Barnes Albrighton Vardy Barnes in a free role. Would've have gone for Hamza instead of Mendy but worried their play acting will get him into trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 I don't think these will sit back so hopefully at home we can absolutely blow these away in the first half and Rodgers can do his scary move of camping in our half for 45 minutes.

MGLCFC Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 (edited) I don't think away goals technically count as 2, more if the scores over both ties are level, the team who scored the most away goals wins (So if we draw 2 - 2 on Thursday, Prague would go through as they have scored more away goals, not that they have scored 4). In the event this being the same, for example if the home team won the first leg 3 -1, then lost the away leg 3 -1, it would go to extra time.

When you choose to play a defender ahead of a Right Winger in a Right Wingers role then it really is bad. Cengiz what ever Rodgers has asked you to do, just do, do it and prove to all the doubters that you are more than capable of holding your own in a top Premiership club.

Whatever the reasons were for yesterday’s team, could have been the Grealish factor, I do think Under is a bit unlucky even when he does get a run out. Even yesterday he’s unlucky. I’m sure had the game stayed two nil for long enough he probably gets a run out in a situation made for him with the opposition chasing the game and space everywhere. Instead they score out of nothing and it’s a different game and the more defensive subs are required. So up to now he’s had very few chances in a game that’s suited to him attack wise with the opponents chasing the game. Arsenal and Leeds away were perfect for him and he performed well in his cameos but most times he’s come on in the league we’ve been chasing the game and space was at a premium.

Obviously viewed as just good going forward, it all seems down to team ethics and putting in a shift comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
