No issue at all with players being rested today, Thursday is far more important.

 

Would or liked to have seen him go a bit further and rest Albrighton, Barnes and Soyuncu as well.

Not sure how much I agree with that second bit there. 

 

A loss isn't the worse thing in the world and I don't think there are many who expect us to win but the the team have worked like fvck to build up a bit of momentum, especially in regards to some defensive confidence, so a poor performance and heavy loss could be a major blow psychologically. 

Yeah I agree here, we still need a performance to continue the forward momentum… can’t take it easy and go back to the rubbish from earlier

Not a bad team in fairness and you have to remember, some like Ndidi following the African cup have had a lot of football. We can't complain one minute about certain injuries and then moan when Rodgers rests players. 

 

An in form player like Tielemans or Ndidi would be virtually undropable, but neither are firing on full cylinders for whatever reason. I think KDH and Albrighton may be pretty drained also so I wouldn't expect a full match out of either to be fair. I criticise Rodgers a lot but I think to be fair to him, he's doing his best in the circumstances on this occasion depending on tactics.

The Lyon game is an important one for their Ligue 1 season.

Yeah I’d imagine Rennes are prioritising qualifying for the champions League via the Ligue 1 over the game with us.

Defend, soak up pressure and hit on the counter. 

 

Maddison and KDH to be on their game. 

 

Iheanacho goal contribution expected?

We’ll be overran in midfield. KDH is the only one with any running power, given they’ll have the vast majority of the ball I can see a long evening.

Conceded the game before we start then by the looks

I think so

 

Rightly so too 

Yep we aren’t getting relegated and we aren’t getting Europe through position… so prioritise the cup and European spot you can get. Still not downbeat about the selection and feel we can get something today

It's good to see Iheanacho start. I understand bringing in Mendy, both due to protecting Ndidi and the fact he has been out of sorts of late, but am surprised at Tielemans being dropped

Just a case of our priority being Europe. No fan would rather us concentrate on the league now.

I sincerely hope we put in more of a shift then we did in the home game against these. One of our poorest performances all season that was.
