Crazy Kop Corner Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 It's a big game. Win this one and I think we're on track as to where we would have expected. For me we have to start Kelechi and I'd give Lookman a go to give balance to the team. Love Albrighton but he was crap at Norwich, before he scored and visibly ran out of gas against Man City. Hope Ricki P's available too to give us a bit more going forward too. I'm optimistic - Brighton 1 Leicester City 2 COYB 2

Guest Danny Clender Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 I just hope we take the sizeable positives from the Napoli game into this. The shape and balance of the team felt the strongest this season. Iheanacho should start, he just has more to offer wherever he is on the pitch, rather than others. Daka did enough for me to show he can start, but Vardy remains number one. Soumare needs a run of games, he's got some severe class in his locker and it's kind of embarrassing having other players on the pitch when he's sat chatting with Hamza. No Evan's so, I hope it's as simple as Vestergaard + Soyuncu in the deefence .

We should have the winning of the midfield battle in this game, and hopefully Barnes (and Perez if he plays) will have gained a lot of confidence from scoring today and so we'll look more dangerous out wide. If fit, I'd like to see Ricardo back in the starting 11. Edit: Perez won't play. Just remembered he's still suspended. Maradonna doesn't play for them any more. 2
lcfcell Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 We’re unbeaten against them since their promotion so we have to lose sometime (miserable I know ) I just don’t see us winning here either 1
Cincinnati Fox Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 Sit it, deny them space, hit them on the break we win. Try and play Rodgers ball we will concede and will struggle to score 1
Farrington fox Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 It's a must win despite Brighton being a very decent side. No doubt though that Rodgers team selection will fail to inspire confidence. 1
An Sionnach Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 Ndidi and Tielemans not at their best, Maddison way out of form , Potter will play on that for sure. I expect few chances and we have to take them.

tickler28 Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 My team would be Schmeichel Ricardo Vestergaard Soyuncu Bertrand Ndidi Soumare Tielemans Lookman Vardy Barnes 2
ourla Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 (edited) I think it's an ideal game for us after the last two. Brighton are nowhere near Man City or Napoli standard. Not saying we will win but I like the fixture. Edited 17 September 2021 by ourla

honeybradger Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 (edited) Is it just me who thinks Thomas is significantly better than Bertrand? Apart from set pieces and 'experience' i dont see what Bertrand brings over Thomas, he was all over the place defensively last night, something that we've seen happen with Thomas on occasion but at least with Thomas you can argue it's inconsistency that comes with youth. On top of that Bertrand doeant overlap as well with Barnes as Thomas does, probably because he doesnt have the pace for it, his passing was quite sloppy last night as well. As things stand i think Thomas is in our best XI over Bertrand but a lot of people seem to think otherwise. Edited 17 September 2021 by honeybradger 1
Fox in the North Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 Brighton are harder to beat as they have gotten stronger over the years, but after some of the good stuff I saw last night there’s no reason why we can’t beat them.

rachhere Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 We have a good depth in our squad now and need to make better use of it. I would go: Kasper Ricardo Cags Vesty/Amartey Thomas KDH Wilf Tielemans Albrighton Vardy Lookman
Pliskin Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 I’m sorry, but judging by some of the reactions on here are we playing PSG or Brighton?
drumbeat Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 12 hours ago, TK95 said: Brendan will start Soyuncu for some reason Because he needs to play himself back into confidence? Because we've sod all in the way of options? Cags is in poor form, it's true, and is prone to rashness but he's not completely shit. He got in a number of decnet blocks and challenges, and stuff he's blamed for isn't always entirely his fault. The problem is everyone has eyes on him now and sees only his faults.
LVFox Posted 17 September 2021 Posted 17 September 2021 Changed my mind on the team I'd start after last night: Kasper Castagne Soyuncu Vestegaard Bertrand Ndidi Youri Maddison Lookman Vardy Barnes I'm guessing Ricardo isn't fit, and thought the full backs were good last night. I want to see Youri/Maddison as "8's" again rather than Youri playing deeper with Maddison as a 10. I think this can happen more now that Vestegaard is here, as his passing through the lines can get us up the pitch quicker. Ndidi then doesn't become the pivot, and is more of a midfield sweeper. That then means we need an attacking front 3, and whilst it isn't his natural position I'd much prefer Lookman over Albrighton on the right. 1

Daka needs to start. !!! We cannot be looking to keep him out of the team, he needs to be integrated and fast.
