Beachyboy Posted 10 April 2021 Share Posted 10 April 2021 i'm very much looking forward to this one, a real good test this, but one that if we perform at 90% or above should be OK with, they seem to like a fast start and don't seem as strong in the second half recently, so going in level at HT would actually make me feel a bit more confident about this. They concede more goals in the second half and we score more goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N’Didi didn’t play in the first game so hopefully that and them missing Rice will make a big difference compared to that one. They’re in great form, enjoy playing on the counter, outplayed us in that first game and good at set pieces, so should be one of the teams that can hurt us most, but for some reason I’m more optimistic than usual about this. Can feel a Vardy masterclass incoming too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're in 3rd, 5 points clear, have just lost £67 million, need to renew a load of lucrative contracts and after throwing away an almost impossible lead the season before, yes. We need a winning mentality this time around. However hard that is for seasoned city fans (like myself). Before the season started, no, 5th would be seen as an outstanding campaign with almost zero jet spend. But the stakes are massive now and champions league revenue could significantly affect the next chapter in the clubs history. Get it done boys. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 5th at the beginning of the season would have been a good season, but I fear if there is a repeat of last season, i.e. failing to make Champions League from the position we are now in, could have a damaging effect both mentally and on player retention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 10 April 2021 Share Posted 10 April 2021 With what happened last year, to miss out on CL from our current position would be the most enormous failure of mentality by the players and management. And with at least five members of the title winning team still in and around the squad there really would be no excuses it would still be a pig, irrespective of being buried under tonnes of lipstick ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammo Posted 10 April 2021 Share Posted 10 April 2021 Brendan is still reeling out the “qualifying for European football would be a success” line. But given what happened last season and the fact that we have been in the top four ALL season, let alone the quality of the players we have in the team, who does he think he is kidding? I know he is cautious by nature and doesn’t want to invite disappointment, but personally I would prefer to hear him boldly and confidently rally the troops - players and fans alike - with a “we’re going all out for the Champions League” war cry. Who can forget Claudio’s rousing “we are going for... the Title”? Still sends chills down my spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 10 April 2021 Share Posted 10 April 2021 The Merc have suggested this team for WHU. Judging by the response there's a lot of dislike for Amartey. Is this dislike of Amartey true of most LCFC fans? Would people really prefer to sacrifice Ndidi as a DMF. Not me! Jayne Thwaites good line up but like most say amarty is to much of a liability put ndidi back in defence and bring in mendy GW Wright Jayne Thwaites Still on the 'amartey is liabilty' trip - he's actually ranked 19th in our squad for being dispossessed/game, and 21st for unsuccessful touches. He is ranked 18th for times dribbled past per game (the same as soyuncu, only vardy and evans get beat less often the amartey). And only under and albrighton commit fewer fouls per game and he has the 6th best passing %. So what exactly are you basing his 'liabilty' on? Helen Smith would u swop ricardo for amartey and bring in praet - he's was good b4 his injury - Damo Robbins Ndidi for amartey and put praet in beside tielemans. Amartey worries me every time he plays Anders Gothefors Great team! Can not imagine it could loose tomorrow! Marc Grant Soyuncu should be back if he gets a negative test,he's completed his isolation Shaun Beck Amarty seems to panic on the ball our weakest link in the back isnt soyuncu ready ? Lars Sjölund Ndidi back to defenence and in comes Praet for him. Amartey out this time David Crowther Either of the 2 suggestions above. But either way Amartey goes. Docteur Eric Ntizonyanka We will win this match Curtis Knott Take amartey off bring preat on next to madders so will have 3 centre midfielders with madders in front and pack the midfield and have a back 4 so be kinda a 433 Andrew Cornish Amartey is a worry Joes Westons Andrew Cornish has he done anything wrong this season? Andrew Cornish Joes Westons he’s been ok I just worry he can dive in from time to time hope I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More the formation for me, the sooner we can return to a back four the better. Evans and Fofana were doing great together until Soyuncu returned and Barnes/Justin injuries forced us to change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 10 April 2021 Share Posted 10 April 2021 It's not a dislike for Amartey. We just lose our way of playing when he plays because hes just a younger Danny Simpson. His lack of ability on the ball just scuppers how we play 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
