Fox92 Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 0-0 draw. And that's me hoping. I'd take a point, tough game.
Dames Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 He's going with 3 CB's for this, that is always his answer when our defence looks naff.
Popular Post SemperEadem Posted 2 September 2022 Popular Post Posted 2 September 2022 I think we have to try another striker or partnership up there now. 5
ScrumpyJack Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 Right I’ve just double doused Citalopram… Very excited to see Soumare play again, looked like he had his head in the game! Although, scared at the prospect of Ndidi at centreback again, he made himself smaller against that Ronaldo shot rather than bigger. ****, may need to triple dose.
sly1 Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 Lose this one then got to thinking of replacing Roger's
fox_up_north Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 I don't think this one makes him go, if he loses. Potter has them playing well and it's a tough away game. I'll understand the result if we lose 1-0 but I'll want to see a performance. Next Saturday is the big one.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 Fair play anyone going to this. The most obvious limp 2-0 loss with no shots on target you could imagine. 1
Blue Ed Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 If it was me I'd like to see a more balanced side than the united one. I think there were midfielders we played who like to play centrally...pick three. Ward Castagne, New Bloke, Evans, Thomas Soumare, DH Albrighton, Maddison, Barnes Daka 1
lcfc043 Posted 2 September 2022 Author Posted 2 September 2022 Vardy deserves to be dropped but I don’t think Rodge has the balls to
dmayne7 Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 So pleased I'm going to this one . He has to start Iheanacho. Vardy horribly out of form and Daka has 0 confidence right now. Would rather get 2 strikers in but if it's just the one, has to be Kel as at least he'll hold the ball up and allow us to regroup.

Ward Castagne, New Bloke, Evans, Thomas Soumare, DH Albrighton, Maddison, Barnes Daka Thank you for selecting Albrighton. Hopefully the next manager will utilise the wingers we do have (Perez, Albrighton, Barnes & Maswanhise ), instead of pretending they don’t exist.
Foxes96 Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 Surprised at the stick Justin is getting. Was on a hiding to nothing being asked to cover RB and RW all game. Was more concerned about Thomas, who is only really suited to a flat back 4, doesn’t have the athleticism to play as a wingback. Other than that, surely Faes has to come in, and have to at least try something different. Our lack of any sort of option on the right is frightening, so think we’ll have to opt for a diamond and play more direct with 2 up top. Iversen Castagne - Faes - Evans - Justin Tielemans - Soumaré - KDH Maddison Iheanacho - Daka 2
LVFox Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 I don’t even know where you start with team selection on this. Hardly anyone in any form. If it was me I’d go: Iversen Castagne Faes Evans Justin Ndidi Tielemans Maddison Praet Barnes Daka Iversen > Ward. Ward wasn’t at fault yesterday (found Rodgers comments on his distribution interesting), but I just think Iversen is the better long term option and the time to start that is now. Midfield Harsh on Soumare and KDH, but we need to get the best out of Youri, and I don’t think Soumare is athletic enough to go along side him. Maddison has to start centrally so KDH also misses out. Daka in for Vardy who is just offering nothing right now. We also really lack pace in the side apart from Barnes so Daka has to be given a go in my opinion
SB87_LCFC Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 (edited) We have to be positive, two strikers against Brighton, with Madders in the 10, he drifts inside to try get us going no point playing him out wide. Considering the wide right issue, I’ve gone slightly different. Iversen Castagne. Faes. Evans. Justin Soumare Praet. KDH Madders. Vardy. Kels Danny Ward doesn’t look confident, why not give the lad Iversen a chance. Faes has to start, love Wilf but we need to see this lad play and after last night hard to ignore Soumare. Big Tielemans fan but I think we need to see Praet play with a diamond, both he and KDH can push out if we needed them to and this gives us two up top with Madders in his natural position People slating Vardy perhaps need to look at the stats, he has had an average of 1 shot every game and only one of those was on target, we have been getting into the final third and lacked that final touch but can’t pin it all on one bloke. Yes he’s our main man, but strikers need service, if he scored every chance we had he’d be Erling Haaland. As fans we need to back the team. Im going for a 2-1 win and a much needed boost Edited 2 September 2022 by SB87_LCFC
Koke Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 These lot are gonna rip us. Their movement and passing is excellent. We're the polar opposite. 1
Clever Fox Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 This game has now become a must win. We've got to beat them otherwise the pressure really builds on everyone.

LeePhilpottsBaldSpot Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 4-3-1-2 Ward Castagne Faes Evans Justin Tielemans Ndidi Dewsbury-Hall Maddison Iheanacho Daka If we're going to persist with 4-2-3-1 Ward Castagne Faes Evans Justin Ndidi Tielemans Perez Maddison Barnes Vardy
lgfualol Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 Welbeck hatty, Rodgers calls the club shite post match, still employed for the next game. Iversen Faes Evans Soyuncu Albrighton Soumare KDH Castagne Maddison Nacho Daka
Swalker Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 It has to be Iheanacho and Vardy as a 2 for me - a partnership that has got us out of poor form before and we know it works! The challenge is what we do with Barnes because he doesn't fit the diamond system, so maybe he's the impact sub from the bench (providing Brendan remembers he has substitutes to use)
Nalis Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 When writing the line ups its a reminder of how imbalanced our squad is. Not enough space for talent in some positons and quite poor in others.
Jakemoore Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 This isn’t about Brendan in or Brendan out. If you want him out as I do, I imagine we will get our wish at some point with the way things are going and the things that he has been saying. This is a plea to all those who are making the trip down south to Brighton. Please, back the lads. Don’t boo if it’s 1-0 at HT. Don’t moan every time we play a backwards pass. No matter what is going on behind closed doors, one thing I can say with real certainty is that this squad is lacking confidence right now. They’re shot to pieces and they don’t appear to have a clue where their next win is coming from. They need our support, not our boos. It doesn’t help, it won’t help. I am hoping and praying we get a reaction on Sunday. The window is officially shut. The squad is what it is now and we must work with it. I think we all know that this team is far better than 20th. One win and we could go on a run. I will be in S1E shouting and cheering my head off. Ripping in to Brighton players and calling the ref a **** but I will not be giving our players a hard time. Lets make it an away end to remember. C’mon City!! 1
FoxyJim1987 Posted 2 September 2022 Posted 2 September 2022 Get rid of BR today or tomorrow and we get something, but if the midget is still on the touchline writing notes in his tiny pad and playing midfielders at the back then it's another sorry loss with Maddison having a free kick as our only shot on target.

Funnily enough I picked Castagne over Justin with that in mind, I was hoping he'd got better vision and passing range to spot Daka early. I don't even know if that would help....(picking the team is harder than I thought)
