Foxes96 Posted 11 May 2021 Share Posted 11 May 2021 Just now, Red Squirrel said: If Brenden asked for my input I'd go with this and a back 4 About as good as it gets on paper, lets see if they can do it on grass! Unfortunately I think it will be: Kasper Castagne - Fofana - Söyüncü Albrighton - Ndidi - Tielemans - Thomas Perez Iheanacho - Vardy which I am less enthused about. We shall see hopefully Brendan will surprise us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NasPb Posted 11 May 2021 Share Posted 11 May 2021 Id rather have ndidi in defense and mendy in midfield or even amartey there than castagne. I genuinely feel bad for the lad. He's an attacking wing back not a cb. Rodgers needs to be drug tested if he comes out with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 11 May 2021 Share Posted 11 May 2021 What a shame to waste Castagne's talents at RCB. Glad Perez starts (not a phrase often used on FT!) and slightly disappointed - but not at all surprised - that Praet doesn't. Madders likely to be a sub at Wembley then. Vardy hanging on to a starting place by the slightest of threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 11 May 2021 Share Posted 11 May 2021 There is no way he'll go to a back four at this point of the season with the games we have left. There is no way he's going to play Ndidi at the back when in the past all it's done is made us weaker in the middle. We have recently lacked aggression and energy in the middle, taking Ndidi out of that isn't going to help. I just hope Thomas is a bit braver tonight and that Vardy plays a bit wider to give him an option. Against Palace and Southampton Thomas was totally isolated and doesn't have confidence/ability yet to deal with those situations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 11 May 2021 Share Posted 11 May 2021 Also, with Castagne at RCB it effectively becomes at back four when we have the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy will drift out to the left, Perez will float around in the number 10 with Iheanacho as the ST. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuchs was awful at CB earlier in the season, hence why he's barely featured since. Chances are, if Man Utd make changes, they will sit in and play quite cautiosuly. In that case I'd sooner have Castagne on the pitch than Amartey or Fuchs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted 11 May 2021 Share Posted 11 May 2021 Why does Brendan refuse to play Fuchs now. Remember when he was playing well earlier on in the season and everyone wanted him to sign a new contract. Now he can’t get a game, very bizarre! If we’re persisting with 3atb without Evans our best 2 options are: Start Fuchs at LCB, or start Mendy and move Ndidi into the back 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming there is considerable rotation, why would those who come in be really meek? This is their chance to get in Ole’s plan for next year, or get a deal elsewhere.

United love to sit back and hit teams on the counter at the best of times. If they've got a bunch of backups playing, along with a handful of first-choice players who played on Sunday and might play again on Thursday, all the more reason to sit in and ensure the game doesn't become too stretched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 11 May 2021 Share Posted 11 May 2021 25 minutes ago, Bert said: Absolutely no chance Let's hope not, but you're probably right. Castagne - Wasted at RCB Fofana/Soy - Uncomfortable in a three Thomas - Offers very little at LWB Still lacking width at the top of the pitch and we'll see similar patterns emerging that we saw in other games. The ball being lost in dangerous positions and offering very little threat in attack. Rodgers blames players for mistakes and being passive, when in reality, his tactics force them into dangerous situations and offer us very little change to move the ball forwards quickly and attack before the opposition set. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieTodger Posted 11 May 2021 Share Posted 11 May 2021 Castagne wasted at RCB. I know it'll be dynamic with him shifting across as Albrighton gets forward, but seems unbalanced with Thomas unaided on the other side. Wish we'd stop with the team leaks as well. Absolutely pointless exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrielCaziado Posted 11 May 2021 Share Posted 11 May 2021 We’ve gone slight favs now for this game having been bet this morning. I’m assuming it’s off the back of leaked teams news. One things for sure. Had this game been tomorrow and the Liverpool match had been played last Sunday there’s no way on Earth we’d been seen to have such a good chance away to United. We need to take this slice of luck we’ve had and bury them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
