Southampton (A) - Wed 1 Dec

[NasPb]

Kel vardy for villa imo like when we smashed them 1-4 last time out a couple years back 

[adejo92]

I would probably go for something like this. Ultimately, these are professional athletes so there is no reason they can't handle these game in quick succession besides some of the older more vulnerable players. Obviously there is risk of injury too but you have to weigh up risk vs reward and i am not sure we have the depth of quality to be able to change the squad too much and still beat Southampton (I did toy with the thought of Choudhury replacing either Ndidi as to not risk him - or - Soumare just because he's been a bit sh1t)

 

I'd rather risk an injury to Thomas or Soyunchu than let Bertrand or Vestergaard anywhere near the line up.

 

Southampton will be dangerous, especially with our lack of defensive ability, so i really don't feel we can make too many changes. Maddison, on his current form, is absolutely game changing however he's just the kind of player that would pick up an injury, just from his style of play, and i think he would be a bigger miss against Villa / Napoli.

I might take some pelters for this but KDH has done nothing to suggest he's a good enough 10 to be starting there for us in the Prem. 

 

If that's the team then Perez needs to be there or Nacho.

I am a fan of KDH, but I wouldn't play him as a 10!

I would definitely stick with Kasper in goal. Who is Clicktoedit anyway?

He's been rotting in the under 23s needs some loan time in league 2 at the very least before he plays for the first team. 

 

Some very promising keepers coming out of Finland though to be fair...

[lifted*fox]

absolutely massive opportunity for us to drop bertrand and vestegaard off without any additional fuel usage or impact on the environment

I like this but I think we should probably play a goal keeper too? 

[jayfox26]

9-0 or Rodgers out. And for god sake do not play Bertrand or Vestergaard. Unless Southampton fancy giving them a game. 

[HybridFox]

Kell will be fresh for this one. Gerrimin!

If Jannick scores we're on the pitch 

If Bertrand scores we're on the pitch

I'd have Perez in the number 10 role ahead of KDH atm, KDH has plenty of energy and is happy to spray it around, but hasn't been outstanding so far and reminds me of more of a Drinkwater than a Maddison. Ayo has put in some good performances at 10 recently, seems to enjoy Soton and has that technical ability to operate in that hole in behind the 2 strikers. All else fails we have Madders to turn to if its not working, but I could still see Rodgers starting him for this game 

[RowlattsFox]

It would be interesting to see what Rodgers does here because I'm sure he would like to build momentum with the same team. I think he will start Vardy but that means there is little chance of him starting in Naples. Maddison should continue to build form. Evans is a worry too 

 

I think we will go same team and hope for the best.

Damn autocorrect, it’s Chituru Ethan Odunze but not sure I would start him

[leicesterlad1989]

Any talk of wholesale changes for this game is laughable. We've clearly lacked any form of consistency this season, whether its tactics, formation or personnel. We have won two games in a row and finally building momentum and there's talk of "resting" players. 

 

You can make cases for resting Vardy given his age and the fact we have good players to replace him. Of course if Evans isn't fit enough then same again. Aside from that we really haven't been good enough this season to warranty huge changes.

Dropping Maddison after arguably his best game of the season so far is very harsh!

I agree, that's why i wish we kept praet, but since it is what it is and tielemans is injured through him into the fire as an 8, soumare and ndidi are too defensive against Southampton 

[NasPb]

I'd go 

Kasper 

Castagne Evans soyuncu Thomas 

Ndidi kdh 

Albrighton Maddison Barnes 

Vardy

You could have corrected my 'Armstrog' typo while you were doing it.

I don't think Albrighton offers us enough anymore to start out wide. His legs have gone. 

[coolhandfox]

Limited changes we we need to get on a roll.
