Played like an utter buffoon against Arsenal, probably his worst game for us, either not for or out of sorts or both. However he will probably play because of his aerial ability, but I'd seriously consider resting or dropping him, seeing as we have a game Saturday aswell.

Stephen Hughes Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 Rest all those that need it, Tielemans and Vardy to name two. Take the hit and play some youngsters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnup Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 We need to attack this lot and not try and play around their strengths. Sadly I'm not so sure Brendan will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeweightHK Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 Should we bench Vardy and let Nacho come first? I think Vardy may need a rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 We have reached a point where I have no sense of how this match will play out. We are shorn of some of our quality. And those that are playing are not firing. Im not overly optimistic really. So hope to be pleasantly surprised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 The one thing about this team as compared to MON lot is that this lot struggle to 'dog' a goal out. We either play well and score lovely goals. Or we struggle. Sometimes you need the option of swinging a ball over in the 89 min and let a big lad nod it in. We don't have that plan B,C at all. Watch Burnley demonstrate that art this evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch Burnley demonstrate that art this evening. Absolutely spot on. And the bloke in your name was one of those guys. Scruffy, big 6 footers who would always nod us a big goal even if we played shite. Taggart, Marshall, Elliott, Heskey etc were a nightmare.

deep blue Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 2 hours ago, Tonya said: The Iheanacho/ Vardy combo just doesn't work for either of them at any time its been tried. We dont play to Vardy's strengths with quick ball thru or over the top plus he's clearly carrying a niggle, so leave him out for this one. Hopefully Rogers wont waste Ricardo's talent by playing him ahead of whoever is at right back as thats a failed experiment. He looks a fish out of water as an out and out midfield/attacker. He's most effective at right back and playing off or looping round the player ahead of him Absolutely agree with that. Pushing Ricardo and, for that matter, Tielemans too, up into unnatural positions has been a failed experiment in that it has restricted their crucial attacking contributions to the team. Similarly, Ndidi as a CB has had as detrimental effect, when employed, in an exactly similar way as Liverpool with Henderson. It's great to have flexibility within the squad but there are core players in a team that must be played in their most effective and natural position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey123 Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 Kasper ricky Fofana/wilf Cags. Thomas mark. Youri. Wilf/mendy. Timmy Under Vardy little worried about who’s going to be able to collect the ball and make something happen higher up the pitch in this one, hope I’m proved wrong but can’t see under being able to replicate anything like what mads does on the turn to open up play. Think we’re going to be heavily reliant on youri from deep and mark trying the killer pass, hopefully Ricky has a blinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 I was surprised that Rodgers played Ricardo at LB and Castagne at RB against Arsenal they are much better on the other side! We need to kill the game off in the first half similar to Aston Villa away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Ricardo’s dribbling ability makes him pretty useful on either flank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fktf Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 Earlier in the season, quite a few were saying Ricky, little wes, cags, timmy looks like a class defence for the future. Wonder if we'll get a glimpse of it tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
