I know he was underwhelming today but I'd still rather see Madders on the right and Nacho at 10 than play Perez over Nacho.

Who would take caretaker charge for this? Kolo?

Stowell. Kolo will be gone with Rodgers 

[Larry_LCFC]

Seriously gonna lose all faith in our owners if this absolute fraud is still in charge. Completely pointless exercise giving him x amount more games. We have all seen more than enough to know he has no place here anymore and that we are heading to the championship.

 

We need a new manager, a new attitude and 3 bloody points.

I hope not. He should be following Rodgers out the door. Stowell?

They’ll beat us 0-1 with a last minute winner. Nailed 

I admire your confidence, in that we’ll hold out until then ! 

[Sly]

If he’s sacked ….

 

                          Iversen

 

              Soyuncu Evans Faes

 

Castagne     NDidi    Tielemans      Justin

 

                Maddison Iheanacho

                       

                            Vardy

[HybridFox]

If Rodgers is still here surely in his best interests to do everything to win this game. Gerrard gets the sack, Villa take Rodgers and we can get on with it

WOUT IS MASSIVE!

[st albans fox]

Back to basics 

mendy in a double pivot (with wilf due to his height at set plays) to protect the back four - yes four - the 3 was dreadful - too many bodies and no one actually doing any marking 

 

Castagne and JJ at full back 

 

the rest can be whatever it’s wants to be 

 

the only target is a clean sheet 

 

 

[Spudulike]

No use coming up with tactical masterplans. Rodgers will take another shameful performance to hasten his dismissal and huge payoff. He can then go, walk into the next lucrative job with his reputation intact given the media have swallowed the poor Brendan line. 

[Guest ttfn]

This is a great opportunity to win and for 2 reasons it means Rodgers cannot be the manager:

1) Given the atmosphere and lack of confidence I think he’s probably the worst possible person to be managing this game for us.

2) A win against one of the worst sides in the league at home cannot be a reason to give a manager who is on a terminal 12+ month decline yet more time

 

I won’t be going if Rodgers is still the manager.

Yep exactly. And if Rodgers was still in place and miraculously got a win it wouldn't change what's gone on over the last 18 months. We'd still be a mess. Fully expecting him to leave before the game though.

[sacreblueits442]

..although not a fan of the back three!!!

 

                Iversen 

Faes        Evans        Soyuncu 

               Ndidi 

Castagne  Maddison   KDH  Barnes 

         Nacho    Daka 

 

We either play with wingbacks or Barnes need to work and put in a shift. We get the majority of players where they want/need to play.

This is how we'll line up under Rafa Benitez this weekend

Can't make this

 

 

Thank **** 

[Richmondfox]

A few simple tactical changes will make a huge difference. Pressing from the front, Daka and Nacho were letting Brightons CBs walk into our half. They only starting pressing from the front in the last 10 minutes. 
 

Quickly out from the back looking to get forward. 
 

No Amartey or Wilf to be the cbs who are responsible for starting off attacks out the back. 
 

Wilf or Mendy as DM instead of Soumare. No Thomas, no Ward. 
 

Quick out the back, as we saw with Youri’s pass to Daka.  We can score when we attack quickly. Maddison and Youri need to get the ball first time and turn rather than taking an age then they are closed down, yet they still pass to them under pressure and it ends up back and side to side. 
 

if Rodger’s is still here it will be more of the same.

[Hales]

If he is still here we know exactly how it's going to go. Nothing is going to change. Get him gone Top. 10.30 I want an announcement after you have told the players and Vardy has got the party started!

[The boy Linacre]

This is a 9 pointer!!!!

Anything other than a win and we are in serious serious trouble as the gap to many above us and primarily safety is 4-6pts when we will have had 1 draw or 2 at most.  With Forest and Leeds to follow not too far after.

They have to get some confidence and some belief they can win games and perhaps keep the ball out of the net!!!

C'mon Lestah 2 or 3-1!!!

Iversen

 

Castagne - Faes - Evans - Justin

 

KDH - Ndidi - Tielemans

 

Maddison

 

Iheanacho - Daka

Has to be this for me. Swap KDH and Tielemans and it’s perfect

[LVFox]

One of the easiest team selections to me.

 

                  Iversen

     Amartey Evans Faes

Justin                        Castagne

          Tielemans   KDH

                  Maddison

       Iheanacho     Daka

 

I’ll accept Ndidi for big Dan, and Soumare for KDH.

 

Brendan will probably go Ward in goal, Thomas at lcb and Vardy in for Daka.

[lee7]

If Villa pressure us early doors and force us into mistakes then the atmosphere will turn toxic very quickly. 

Gerrard will be encouraging his players to do exactly that. 

[ARM1968]

At this point Rodgers must really be wondering what more he can do to get the boot. His tactical master strokes against the might Brighton literally tore us to shreds. Actual genius at work there.

 

If he hasn’t been sacked before Villa, then he will need to pull out all the stops to make certain. 
 

Expect another limp nob performance where we get rolled over and embarrassed. Any signs of fight will be stamped out by baffling substitutions. We will lose and you all know it.
