Legia Warsaw (H) Match Thread

[rachhere]

They just tweeted to say that there may be a delayed start to the match. Feeling even happier that I stayed at home as I would probably have had to have left before the end of the game to make the train. 

 

Sorry, rereading again it says 'late walk-up'. What does that mean?!

Part of me is very curious to see what would happen if we concede a goal from a set piece today and we aren't already at least 2 goals to the good.

Don't jinx it

Yes. That was my point. Its just a dangerous impression to give people when things are bad.

Worst team in the Europa league, they are second bottom in the Polish top tier having lost 9 of their last 10 matches. Absolutely no excuise whatsoever for not winning this. 

 

 

lose and questions must be asked.

I’m not washing my hair tonight to watch this -…..we had better win!

Rodgers really don’t like him does he? Baffling

 

Not really. 352 would be too negative against these and without Tielemans fit we're going to need to drop Madders deeper and get him on the ball to run the game. I'd hope this is more of a 433 than a 4231. 

 

That only really leaves one position Iheanacho can play and that's down the middle up top. Given that Rodgers and the club have very much nailed Daka's flag to the mast in this competition and made it clear he's going to get a good run at it, I'd say it would be harsher to Daka to drop him for Nacho than it is on Nacho to be left out.

 

It's probably the best team we can field without Vards and YT.

Legia have won twice in 10 games. One being us, the other a 1-0 win against a division 3 side in their domestic cup.

They are holding 1000’s of Warsaw fans down Welford Road

Uhh. Thats pretty much the line-up I wanted. Really hoping we are back to 4-1-4-1 with Ndidi shielding the defense. Go Leicester, we can do this and get some flippin joy back.

We normally  give teams like this a boost or early Christmas  present.

[Hales]

It's Daka time!

[splinterdream]

I think it's a back to basics set up, playing with full backs and wingers with 1 pacey forward, a defensive start and we'll push forward in the second half if needing a goal, we'll undoubtedly go to 2 if required or it'll be madders off kelechi on

Not sure he warrants singling out to be fair, it’s been pretty low rent across the pitch

Really? Against a team that has lost 9 of their last ten league matches!!!!! Nope. Get at them straight away.

I think for Rodgers he'll want to see a clean sheet and a more organised performance first and foremost. We go a goal down and I fear for us 

[Nalis]

4-2-3-1?

Nacho have pony since the first match. His role this season is much different than last season, BR is literally forcing him to play as a striker, whereas last season he played in a free attacking role, which gave us an advantage at every position on the opponent's side of the pitch. 

For some reason BR doesn't see it.

Rodgers has said he's too good to play U23's this season and has instead had him training with the 1st team all season. Loan move in the pipeline for January.

Doesn't help that we have 850 goalkeepers on the books either I imagine

[lifted*fox]

lets hope soumare has his running boots on.

 

watching him jog behind kante at the weekend was one of the most painful things ive endured since trapping my nob between my leg and a 40kg dumbbell in the gym 

[The Guvnor]

Lots of positivity on here tonight time to level things up.

We have been dog lately, passing and defending like a pub team, with energy levels of a geriatric darts team, and to cap it all a Manager who looks like he's lost interest and blames everyone but himself.

See I think the opposite. Last season because Vardy was so out of form, Rodgers seemed to set us up so that Vardy created the space for Iheanacho to find the space in attacking areas to score. This season its been all about Iheanacho the provider and creating space for Vardy or Daka.

[Sloth]

Just as an FYI, every time I have had the runs this season we have won. So with that being said, if I need to chomp down on some Taco Bell right quick I am willing to do that for the team
