reynard Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 Surely Fuchs has to start for this. Possibly Mendy as well. We look absolutely wrecked right now. Vardy clearly not fit. Ricardo and Castagne unlikely to be able to cope with 90 minutes so soon. Albrighton has to start too I would have thought and Kelechi. Not sure how many of the U23s are anywhere near ready to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bats8711 Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 I think we just have to close our eyes and swallow the medicine. Vardy Ndidi Tielemans Evans all need rested. Leaves us with very little options Kasper Ricardo Amartey Soyuncu Castagne Mendy Hamza Under Tavares Albrighton Nacho Yes you could put Thomas in and move Ric back to RW but I'm not really seeing that work very well - I just think from a team perspective we'd be better off with them playing their natural positions. I also think that this as good a game for Under as any. We need some kind of attacking intent - and whatever his faults he at least has that. If you do 3 at back Amartey Soyuncu Fuchs Ricardo Mendy Hamza Castagne Under Nacho Albrighton It really is predictably ironic how much we could use Slim & Gray right now. Any insight as to way Ricardo is playing on left even when he's in a back 4? I don't think it's working. Looking at both of these I think I'd prefer the 4231 over 3 atb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza M Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 Apart from the obvious absentees through injury I would go as far as taking some others out of the limelight for this. Thought Matt Piper made some good points on Radio Leicester post match that there just isn't the energy levels left needed to play how the manager wants. We will need to be up for a scrap. I would try and be nice and solid and look to come away without defeat and stop the rot.

Our players are running on empty but we need a big pysh from them against Burnley and the Brighton next weekend. After those two games we only have 1 Premier League fixture in the rest of March. So, massive effort, then rest up and be as fresh as possible for the business end of the season starting in April. Why’s that exactly? Lose to Arsenal. Get 0 points. Lose to Burnley. Get 0 points.

We don’t have the depth to rest players at the minute. We have 3 winnable games coming up. Time to turn the doom and gloom round. This but with Tavares or Mendy instead of Vardy and Iheanacho moving forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes96 Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 Think we need fresh legs and impetus as much as anything else. But more than anything we need no new injuries! Personally would rest Vardy, and Evans even if they are fit as we can’t risk losing them. Also think Ndidi could use a rest as well and went for Hamza over Mendy as he has a bit more physicality and height to counter the Burnley set pieces. Just need to scrap our way through the next few matches through to the international break and then reset once we get a few of the injured players back for what’s sure to be a tense final run in.

Big picture, it doesn’t really matter what happens at Burnley as long as we don’t lose another key player to injury. Give ourselves the best chance of fielding a fresh & winning team at the weekend. Something like: Ward Castagne Daley-Campbell Amartey Fuchs Thomas Mendy Choudhury Albrighton Tavares Iheanacho IMO we simply can’t risk Soyuncu, Tielemans or Vardy for this one. I know why you’ve picked that team but 100% we lose with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfc-1992 Posted 28 February 2021 Share Posted 28 February 2021 I wonder if Castagne will go to the left now Barnes is out, Rodgers said he was on the right because he wasn’t needed on the left with how effective Barnes has been.

Beat Burnley get 3 points. I've said for a while that 73 points should the target for us and should be good enough for top 4. We needed 8 wins from 13 games, meaning we can lose 5. In that run of fixtures we had games against Arsenal, West Ham, Man City, Spurs, Utd and Chelsea. All of them are big clubs, Spurs and West Ham are also very capable of turning in a very good performance. On paper the rest should be winnable games. Concentrate on those, win them and that would be 7 of the 8 wins, meaning we would need 3 points from those 'big club' games. I always viewed the Arsenal game as a bit of a free hit, but those free hits are only free hits if we win against the lower teams. Starting with Burnley. We now need 8 wins from 12.

I’m struggling, it seems, to express myself clearly enough, but what I’m advocating is looking at the big picture. This very well might be our last midweek game of the season. In other words, after this, managing players’ workloads becomes easier. If we avoid risking injury to Cags, Youri, Wilf & Vards on Wednesday, and they’re fit, fresh & available for the weekend, and hopefully the rest of the season, I’d take a loss to Burnley as the price, any time. For me it’s about managing the squad the best we can to give us the best chance of a top 4/top 6 finish.
