I agree he wont get a start, but i think he should. We looked a much more balanced team with him on the right. Awesome that Madders is back but ffs Brenden play madders in mid.. Maybe just try it? Not like we have much to lose now is it.. 

you are correct, we did and this is the problem. Brendan doesn’t do blindingly obvious and simple. He does clueless, stupidity wrapped up as notebook genius. He might be the size of a leprechaun but he isn’t magical.

Praet deserves to start

Maddison should come in for kdh

Keep the rest the same

We know Rodgers won’t do this. He has his fixed mindset on formation and players regardless of their form. Above all he has a bad habit of putting square pegs in round holes. 

So he swaps Maddison for Praet on the right and we lose that impetus down the flank. He Replaces Daka for Vardy, keeps the rest the same despite Justin’s awful form. 

We gift Wolves a couple of goals let Costa get his first of the season and we end the day rock bottom. 

Brendan bleats that we were the better side, doesn’t use his subs, says we were tired after Thursday; he was pleased with the performance and didn’t get what we deserved!! The board do nowt!

If he drops Praet it just further highlights his dreadful man management skills.

He rarely changes a winning team and we did look more balanced on Thursday 

 

and a couple of madders’ card were completely unnecessary- a player like him should not be getting banned before December …. Perhaps he’s sending him a message too

We're probably the best team in the league to be playing next. We had our win against Forest last week. 

 

It's must win for both teams but I fear we haven't got the ability to scrap it out and score when we need to. 

Yes, but the Black Country is renown for its furnace-like October temperatures, there’s no way a Rodgers side will do anything but wilt under such heat.

Really looking forward to the game now. Away at wolves will be a tough task and they will be up for it too. I hope he keeps the same team with Praet on the right, Maddison in for KDH and Daka starting instead of Vardy this time as the rotation. Either way I have a feeling with the recent improvement in form we will have just enough. 
1-2 Leicester win incoming in a good game. Barnes and Maddison. COYB 💙🦊

Needless to say it is a huge game for us! A win will take us out of the relegation zone and hopefully allow us to kick on into the WC break albeit some tough fixtures ahead.  
 

Defensively we have been much more solid of late, and Wolves have only scored more than one goal once this season so in theory a good time to play them. I am expecting an attacking line up and back us to outscore them.

See your keeping dead wood Tielemans in still though? I agree with Praet and Thomas but would consider Soumare or Mendy before Tielemans. He's constantly giving the ball away and his lethargic performances add little. 

I se where you're coming from but he's still our playmaker and a game changer.

Especially as we're 110% certain to get drenched today :rolleyes:

Perfect excuse for Rodgers then...

 

"The wet grass hindered our passing a wee bit" 

(what, fu*king sideways and backwards passing due to Wolves not being Forest and Leeds and actually give us something to think about and we revert back to 'BrendanBall')

He certainly is, giving the ball away is likely to change things by giving the opposition the opportunity the chance to score. Against Palace, I watched him pass to the opposition 5 times in succession before a short pass found a team-mate. Yet, some people only seem to see the occasional good pass and forgive the overall contribution. The law of averages says he's occasionally going to get it right, meanwhile he also slows us down. I do think Leicester supporters have been selectively blind or indoctrinated by the media regarding his supposed champions league abilities or prowess. The proof in the pudding is that nobody even wanted him for a knock down 15-20m. Realistically, which top team would want a player so dilititry in possession and likely to put his own team under pressure at the very top level. 

 

Soumare for example, is played out of position, his real prowess being his passing and more in the middle of the pitch further up rather than being played defensively, he rarely gives the ball away. Perhaps with a fit Ndidi or Mendy merely covering the back 4, he could shine in his best role. 

 

Praet too, in our last game showed what he can add to the mix, what a waste. A choice from those 3 plus Maddison and KDH has to be the way forward for me. Rodgers bleats on about keeping possession yet continues to play the worst offender in the hope that he can make the once in a blue moon slide rule pass, meanwhile he costs us dearly imo. In any case, we should be planning for life without him because I wouldn't want him on a free here.

Fair enough - I still think Youri has a lot to offer and played well Thursday night - As they say it's a game of opinions

 

I agree we need to start planning for life without Youri but we need to get the best team on the pitch at the moment - I think that includes Youri - If you don't think it does I totally accept your view as his form has not been what it was for an extended period - I still think he's better than the alternatives.

Yes, you're absolutely right, it's all about opinions and yours is equally valid. In fairness as well, although I have a season ticket I didn't go down against Leeds as my son and I had something more important to do.

Rodgers cannot and will not adjust the team for individual game tactics. As most have said, he'll drop Praet for starters. He despises him. 

 

I'd go for some stability, just get to 70 mins not posing ffs. And ideally we walk away either a point. 

 

4132 for me 

 

Usual current back 4 and keeper (tho I'd obvs drop ward)

Mendy sitting

Madders, youri, praet 

Barnes and Daka. 

 

Vards, Kels, Perez and even Soumare likely to get game time as subs.

Youri is keen to make the belgium first 11.

I expect his effort will fall off in jan.
