Obviously Thomas, Daley-Campbell and Tavares appear to be in the squad - who else can you see coming in for this one? Both the likely options knowing the club and who you’d have line up Shade was added to the europa list before he got injured and has just returned to fitness. Is also a forward player so could see him being involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazzyfox Posted 1 March 2021 Share Posted 1 March 2021 Plan A - Albrighton in for Barnes Schmeichel Castagne Amartey Soyuncu Thomas Ndidi Tielemans Ricardo Nacho Albrighton Vardy (Or With Ricardo RB, Castagne LB, Under RW) Plan B - Because it's Burnley and will be physical, Choudhury in, Tielemans advanced, no Nacho Schmeichel Castagne Amartey Soyuncu Thomas Ndidi Choudhury Ricardo Tielemans Albrighton Vardy (Or With Ricardo RB, Castagne LB, Under RW) Plan C - 3 CB's, Under as AM Schmeichel Ricardo Amartey Soyuncu Fuchs Castagne Ndidi Tielemans Under Nacho Vardy Injury Sweepsatake = Soyuncu 33rd minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What complete and utter bollocks. You don't know anymore than anyone else how much we could have spent, who was available at what price or how cautious we were being. Man Utd were never going to lend us players. Why would they want to strengthen us? You've got no idea about any of this. Stop pretending you have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffschlupp Posted 1 March 2021 Share Posted 1 March 2021 (edited) We have got to keep some degree of pace on the wing, I would keep Ricardo wide and put Fuchs in, Thomas needs a rest. Schmeichel Castagne Amartey Soyuncu Fuchs Ndidi Tielemans Ricardo Iheanacho Albrighton Vardy Subs: Ward, Daley-Campbell, Thomas, Mendy, Choudhury, Leshabela, Tavares, Under, Shade Edited 1 March 2021 by jeffschlupp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were mid table at the turn of the year, they’ve had an amazing run of form since Christmas. But when they would have take Lingard, they were not considered rivals to a CL spot.

Collymore Posted 1 March 2021 Share Posted 1 March 2021 Burnley also have a small squad, ok they haven't had the European campaign we've had but I'd imagine some of their players wi be running on empty too. Hopefully we can keep the ball and get them chasing around. I've complained in the past about the slow passing at time across the defense but if we get an early goal and then we can just play some keep ball for 80 mins, it might not be a bad idea.

Amartey will have to start if Evans isn't fit. I just think it's not as taxing as a position to play so he'd get a rest without really getting a rest if that makes sense. Plus we're likely to have all the ball so Mendy in midfield is a player i'd definitely play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amartey will have to start if Evans isn't fit. I actually feel quite comfortable knowing Amartay will start at CB, it's where he looks the most natural and I'm sure he'll do a good job. The only reason he's not been able to play there in the past is the sheer quality of the other 3 CBs. I think him and Soyuncu will actually complement each other quite nicely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go for him in the summer. He’s proven in the Prem. Would flourish under Rodgers. Could get him for £25-£30m. Versatile. One swallow doesn’t make a summer. Yep he was bad here on loan. But he was a 19 year old with little experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyJim1987 Posted 1 March 2021 Share Posted 1 March 2021 (edited) To the people saying we should have signed player X Y and Z have a word with yourselves. We would not sign players just incase you get a mountain of injuries, it's not FIFA. Players will go to a team to play. Man Utd would not loan Lingard out to sit on our bench instead of their own. He went to West Ham to play every week. Now he will either go back there a confident player match fit or they will get a good fee for him. Its why Maitland Niles didn't come here as he wasn't guaranteed games like he is at WBA. You can't just sign players to stack them up incase you get injuries. Hindsight is wonderful.

RowlattsFox Posted 1 March 2021 Share Posted 1 March 2021 I'd like to see. Kasper Castagne Amartey Soyuncu Thomas Under Tielemans Ndidi Albrighton Iheanacho Vardy Effectively a 442, risky probably but if we can't take risks against these then who can we? That is not taking into account any resting or fatigue. Great if it goes well, but we absolutely nothing other than Ricardo on the bench in an attacking sense, and he's a full back. Do you take a risk and start lesser players, leaving Tielemans and Vardy on the bench to change the game if required. But that would mean starting Mendy and Choudhury (or Tavares) in a midfield 3 with Ndidi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted 1 March 2021 Share Posted 1 March 2021 We're knackered. 2 days between this game to prepare. I'd give a fair few of them time off and not sure I'd have Vardy start again til the cup 1/4 final. Kasper Ricardo Amartey Soyuncu Evans Castagne Wilf Choudhury Under Kelechi Albrighton If we keep playing Tielemans as relentlessly as we do, he's gonna get injured. Vardy playing at the moment is pointless, he offers one threat which is his name. As a footballer he's contributed zero since his return from injury because he's clearly not as fit as he'd like to be. I'd like to rest Wilf too but think his height is needed versus a team like Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
