Match Thread Arsenal (H) - 25 February

[filbertway]

 Brendan you constantly find new and interesting ways to amaze me. Ndidi not played for what seems like an eternity and is then thrust in against Arsenal with the captains armband.

 

Hopefully be a good game, us being at home means we should at least be looking to show some attacking intent, Arsenal will always carry a threat with their ability and Arteta as manager. 

 

4-3 either way.

[Buggsteam]

Can’t see us winning this without Maddison 

[hejammy]

Not sure where praet is going to play? Also Ndidi for Mendy? What has gone on there! A bit all over the place is this team 

[Noahfence]

0-4

[Sampson]

Tielemans was rotten when he came on last game and notoriously always takes several games to get up to speed after he’s been out so that doesn’t surprise me too much.

 

Ndidi back in for Mendy does though. Ndidi is just a shadow of his former self nowadays sadly.

KDH needs to speed up his forward passing instead of slowing down and then have to turn on the spot and then end up passing  back. 
 

Hopefully Praet can get Tete into the game.

big maddison sized hole

Nah, you're looking at it wrong, it's a praet shaped opening. Unfortunate that maddison didn't make it but we won't have him for much longer and praet could be a good answer now the front 3 look better. 

 

This is supposed to be roasts best position isn't it?

Trossard replaces Nketiah for them.

Looks to me like the 4 1 4 1 that we played under Rodgers in his first year till he turned mental. KDH and Praet at the 8s.

[UHDrive]

It appears now he's got better defensive setup he's more interested in getting the ball to the front 3 irrespective of who's playing in DM areas by playing up the wings.

Ndidi for Mendy 🤬

Ward instead of Iversen🤬

No Maddison 🤬..

...

We're fvcked!

No way are we getting anything from this game.

[Ricey]

Ndidi for Mendy and no Tielemans when Maddison is out is…brave.

4-3-3? 

Kind of, I like this interpretation ish. 

 

I purposely cut ward out cos I'd prefer rush back goalies. 

[BenTayfour]

Should've played with 5 at the back instead

Oraet replacing Naddison is sue ill sidal.

Mmmm..a little unsure where the creativity comes from with that line up?

Front 3 (possibly 4 with praet for maddison) lump it forwards. Game on

To be fair the midfield was all over the place against Man U.

The lineup is the creativity

Tongue in cheek I presume...

[Md9]

Madders ill and not injured is a plus I suppose

I agree, and even without a keeper, having Trossard Martinelli and Saka in front of Nacho will definitely help but that takes us to 13 players... anybody's mate the ref for this one?

[OntarioFox]

the sexy football show is back

[SecretPro]

Tetê masterclass incoming.

[fuchsntf]

So Praet & Ndidi, have been given the chalice…

 

If Ndidi can find his game of old, & Praet hold his own…Praet harder than Maddison,and can cover the field..We need Tete,Barnes Nacho, KDH, to step up to the plate…

Rodgers could by luck & little choice find a decent team that gives us that performance…

Harsh on Mendy, harsh on Rodgers if Ndidi doesn’t turn up…

 

I always look to the positive…absolutely no need to go looking for mr big bad negative. These are all Leicester players,who should be up for it..
