Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 I think BR must have been frustrated by yesterday. Had we scored the 3rd either side of H/T. He'd have whipped off Vards, Youri, Madders straight off and they'd be fresh for Thurs. As it was we regressed and now he has a bit of a dilemma. Vards won't start on Thurs and again at the weekend you'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bats8711 Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 Regarding away goals does that count in ET too? If it’s 0-0 after 90 and 1-1 after 120 do they go thru or is it pens? I actually think it’s unfair to have away goals matter in ET bc then it’s a huge advantage to play the 2nd tie away - which wouldn’t really make sense.

I have ceoliacs BTW but absolutely no symptoms and condemned to a boring lifetime gluten free diet.No pizzas Dean Smith not happy with the Grealish injury news being leaked I am convinced Albrighton would have been in if BR had not had the nod.All worked out well in the end No pizzas must be brutal, I'd actually not be able to cope with that and would go out in a blaze of glory where I'd be 90% flour, yeast, cheese and pepperoni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ..... Glad you're not the manager, that team is horrific. Iheanacho is banned anyway so Vardy is the only option so we need a two goal lead before bringing him off. I'd like to see a virtual first XI, maybe start Under ahead of Barnes? Just get a two goal lead before we start bringing players off, I'm happy to put faith in the squad that we won't blow a two goal lead. Otherwise just get through and we'll worry about Arsenal after the game. The advantage of playing Arsenal next is they're playing their tie in Athens and they will have all their eggs in the Europa Cup basket, for them it will be get through at all costs and worry about Leicester after the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 You want to advance, you'd better start your best 11. Praha won't roll over for anybody and if they score even one, things get very difficult for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine 2 of them will play, Vardy highly likely to start again due to complete lack of options up top. Albrighton coming in is likely, with then Ricardo maybe moving to right back instead of Castagne. Thomas likely to continue. Wonder if Campbell or Fuchs will be utilised? If we brought in the likes of them and Amartey a switch to a 5 at the back would be expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not eligible to play Maybe involved v Arsenal then although I think Albrighton will definitely play then. Think we’ll play an attacking 4231as per on Thursday then a more conservative 541 v Arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maupay 17 in 59 Pepe 5 in 48 Che Adams 8 in 53 Mitrovic 11 in 43 Not saying its great, but on a par with most other (there are more) support forwards..... Apart from Maupay and Adams who by the way chip in with number of assists and Perez does not. Traore, Pepe and Mitrovic are all on the same-level as Perez - weak players who in many cases do not justify their price tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Earle Posted 22 February 2021 Share Posted 22 February 2021 (edited) Brendan has his usual easy task of freshening up the side, winning the tie, and having a strong, fresh team ready for Arsenal! Expect Amartey, Albrighton & Mendy to start Thursday, possibly Under & Choudhury too. And Iheanacho to start Sunday, Maddison hopefully to return.
