GlennyFox55 Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 (edited) Keep the team very much the same but with Albrighton in for Ricky (assuming he’s not 100%) and hopefully Praet and Tavares on the bench.

Foxes96 Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 Do we know what happened to Praet saw on Instagram that he arrived for the game but wasn’t included in the squad. Hoping it’s because he wasn’t yet deemed ready for the match day squad rather than any setbacks in his rehab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who is used to going to the stadium and enjoying what that brings and the first time in recent history we get to the FA cup final and we cannot go to Wembley and see our team from the stands? I guess if you are used to watching us on TV pre lockdown then you wouldn't notice anything different. But if you're used to going to the games then you'll get it. So basically if you can't be there it's not worth bothering with? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it would be awful ("a real gut") to get to the final after all these years and not be able to be there and partake in the occasion. Not once did I say it's not worth bothering with. I would RATHER we win it next year when we can be there. I'm not going to cry myself to sleep if we do win it this year though. Plus like I said. I just always want to beat Manure.

Obviously, we'd all rather be in the Final when crowds can attend, kind of goes without saying really. But it's not really a choice is it? No guarantee we'll be anywhere near it next season or any other time come to that. We can't afford to be choosy about these things. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 Steely determination to win and have some pride is what's needed in this game. We need to be all up in their faces from kick-off from Vardy being a pest up front to N'didi breaking everything up to kasper keeping the ball out of the net. Our experienced seniors will know how big this game is and how much it will mean to all us fans to beat manu. FFS slab head is capitoning them so what more motivation do the players need?? Manu will be tired and the last thing they will want is another hard game where they have to work their socks off. Win or lose they will be absolutely drained afterwards which will affect them in the league. As long as our players do their very best and show no fear thats all I ask. COYF!

Beat them once, shows you can beat them twice. Absolutely - what is it they say about waiting for buses again? Maybe we'll take it to extremes over the next few seasons, like Liverpool's home form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense thanks, thought it seemed a bit premature given how long he’d been out. 1 hour ago, Countryfox said: I’ve heard he is very close now and Madders isn’t far behind ... .. Good news. Would be good if Praet could make the bench for the MU game, and then both him and Madders fit for the run in after the international break. Think the 3 atb could be here to stay whilst Barnes is out, and is probably the way to go against Man City as well after the Man Utd game. Gives a bit more defensive solidarity and means we can go more direct when we have no real wide options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy's best work came in that left hand corridor Schmeichel Ricardo Fofana Evans/Soy Castagne Ndidi Tielemans Albrighton Perez Vardy Iheanacho Vardy on the left wing?

dynamark Posted 17 March 2021 Share Posted 17 March 2021 I think the theory is that the wing spaces are left almost free there for vardy in particular and nacho to run into which seemed to work last week.However we need to make sure Luke shaw doesnt exploit that space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynard Posted 17 March 2021 Share Posted 17 March 2021 I don't think Praet will be anything more than on the bench for this. More likely to be involved after the international break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 17 March 2021 Share Posted 17 March 2021 Having Praet back will be a major boost for the run in. His versatility will come in very useful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 17 March 2021 Share Posted 17 March 2021 We absolutely need to keep the formation and same team as Sheffield United except maybe Ricardo if he's not fit. Vardy and Iheanacho have to start together whilst they are in the form they are and if it continues, Barnes won't be straight back in the team when he is fit. I think we could potentially still keep the formation when everyone is fit as Madders and Perez can fight it out for the 10 position and Barnes could fight with Iheanacho and Vardy to play up front. However, it was only Sheffield United and it will be interesting to see if the formation would work against better teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turlo Posted 17 March 2021 Share Posted 17 March 2021 I think Rodgers will go with 3 at the back 2 up top again. He may go with another midfielder instead of Perez so we don't get overrun in midfield and help defend against their wide players but depends how fit Praet is. The good thing is Rodgers will have a full week to prepare for this and I'm sure will be looking at how they can counter the risk of Utd overloading the wide areas against our back 3.

Leicesterpool Posted 17 March 2021 Share Posted 17 March 2021 (edited) I think it will be mix match team, I think he will rest a few and I dont think youri will play. Vardy may play the first 45 to see if he grab a goal too boost his confidence.
