OadbyBlue Posted 2 September 2023 Posted 2 September 2023 Fair enough, would be harsh to drop mcateer after last week. Would’ve liked Casadei to get a start though
CaliFOXnia Posted 2 September 2023 Posted 2 September 2023 KDH can count himself more than a little fortunate to not have his backside sat next to Enzo here. I’d have liked to have seen Casadei from the start, tbh.. 4
Popular Post egg_fried_rice Posted 2 September 2023 Popular Post Posted 2 September 2023 (edited) As long as they aren't getting the cold shoulder Brendan treatment, I don't mind the dropping of players one bit. Inclusion on the bench shows Stephy hasn't totally been hung out to dry. I think it keeps standards high, and competition for places can only be a good thing. KDH can consider himself lucky to not get the same treatment. And only one keeper! Praise the lord. Edited 2 September 2023 by egg_fried_rice 5

I said earlier in the week that Mavididi and maybe KDH needed dropping, and he has dropped one of them. KDH a bit lucky IMO! I guess McAteer will start wide left instead of right, given that Maresca said that Fatawu and Yunus are competing for the left hand side position. Really looking forward to seeing what Yunus can do! Also note that Souttar is not in the squad despite not leaving, so ideas of him being brought back into the squad now the window has closed seemed wide of the mark. To early to say that for Souttar, if he doesn't feature in one of the next 4-5 squads tho I'd definitely agree. Edited 2 September 2023 by Beachyboy 1

I am too, but fans said Ndidi changed the match against Tranmere. Not just the goal AND assist but his overall play. Said it a few times already but Maresca seems to reward good performances with staying in the team, as it should be. I think there is an argument for KDH not being in the team, but I would say that outside of the final third the rest of his play is still pretty good, if you look at the stats he is in the top ranked midfielders in the Championship so far. All that said, Casadei has looked good every time he's come on so far.
OntarioFox Posted 2 September 2023 Posted 2 September 2023 Can't wait for the first goal conceded down the right wing when Fatawu is playing, so I can say 'Abdul mark closer, Abdul track back' and farm reaction points on here
Grebfromgrebland Posted 2 September 2023 Posted 2 September 2023 Wow 4 attacking players plus a goal scoring midfielder on the bench! We can't argue with that. 1

It feels like years since we've had a bench with so many players that could come on and change a game. Add this to our opposition having little strength in depth and, seemingly, less fitness, there're going to be A LOT of goals in the last 20 minutes this season! 3

Plus it'd be pretty shit to drop McAteer after a brace. Presume he goes to the right Yunus on left. Nice to have actual match winners on bench. 4

That's our secret sauce if you ask me. We also just signed another striker who isn't even in the 18 With 5 subs and 5-10 minutes of injury time, we can just throw everything at teams to force a goal. I am sure we will have the occasional slip-up, but that squad is simply too strong for this level. We have some players who's yearly wage is more than entire teams put together! 1
Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 2 September 2023 Popular Post Posted 2 September 2023 One of the worst thing under Rodgers was how easy it was to keep the shirt and play average. Competition for places is good. Madividi has also played a lot of minutes, keeping players fresh and avoiding fatigue injuries is important, something else Rodgers wasn't great at. 4 1

LCFCJohn Posted 2 September 2023 Posted 2 September 2023 Disappointed that Casadei doesn’t start given Yunus is who signed more recently so not like a settling in thing. Good otherwise. I’ve come to terms with Vestergaard until Coady returns.

It helps that the manager isn’t selecting 2 keepers and 3 full backs. Curious how we see a more match changing bench as soon as the window closes don’t you agree?
lgfualol Posted 2 September 2023 Posted 2 September 2023 That bench is so much better than before, holy shit. Agree with Mavididi being benched, it should fire him up and off the bench he will be scary. let’s go 1
whoareyaaa Posted 2 September 2023 Posted 2 September 2023 Must be Nachos longest run of games, clearly thinks good of him. Would have liked to seen Caesdei in for KDH or Nididi but not that bothered. Strong bench

Guest Kopfkino Posted 2 September 2023 Posted 2 September 2023 Still got Coady, Praet & Cannon to come into the squad. Then Albrighton & Souttar who are useful if we need numbers at some point. Plus Alves & Braybrooke to hopefully play a role at some point. Tonnes of options for this league
