Simi Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Well as he's featured in every league game that's irrelevent. Our results were crap when he was on the bench at the start of the season, it's a massive game for Marshall. I'd have him behind the strikers with King, James and Drinkwater central and Konchesky and De Laet pushing up. Agree with this, think he is a lot more effective when playing there. De Laet and Konchesky more than capable of playing that role, better support for Nuge and Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 So, is knockaert definitely out for this game? He's said to be a major doubt, not definitely ruled out. We don't tend to risk players though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Yeh big games for Marshall and Dyer if Knocky's out. In fact, big games for all the midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 And there is the predictable miraculous recovery, If he starts tonight I'd bet heavily he was absloutley fine on Saturday. It's a funny knock that is fine for the match the week after it occured but flares up 8 days later, but 5 days later it's fine again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitlock Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 What's the point in playing him in the cup to aggravate an injury and give him time to be fit for the league? Probs was never that badly injured but he's not worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Numan Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 Cynics! . The main thing is he's fit. Lets get the points on the board, start to build a gap and put the pressure on. 2-0 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the club insulting my intelligence for one, secondly if he was fine he should of played some part if winning was the objective on Saturday, we got the one result we absloutley did not need (a replay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a funny knock that is fine for the match the week after it occured but flares up 8 days later, but 5 days later it's fine again. We've said all along he's got lots of flair, so it's not impossible to flare up quite regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 There is no need to bull shit us about it though is there. You don't know whether it is bullshit. It may well be, but If he has a knock, then it could well have needed the rest. League is more important, another knock on Saturday could have put him out today. Pearson doesn't strike me as the sort to bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 31 January 2013 Share Posted 31 January 2013 How do you mean? I don't like the club insulting my intelligence for one, secondly if he was fine he should of played some part if winning was the objective on Saturday, we got the one result we absloutley did not need (a replay) I trust the management, THIS management, more than any other in the 10 years before to make the appropriate judgement as to whom they're playing in which game. I presume they're smart enough to come to that conclusion themselves. You sound as if we've lost something along the way or as if this decision is a personal insult. It's a management decision and it hasn't done us any harm at all (as of right now). We're still in the cup and that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree if we had the faintest idea of how to play in that formation, but we don't, so I don't...(If you get my drift..... ) It will probably be 4-4-2, absolute certainty if Knockaert is fit.......

Obviously I can't know for sure but having bad ankles myself I'd say If he starts tonight there was no way he was injured Saturday Babs. Wasn't it an impact injury that put him out anyway? I don't really see how that can recover and then get worse. I apperciate the reasons for resting him, but yeah we have lost something, we did not want a replay from the Huddersfield game, it's made april an absloute nightmare of a month for fixture congestion. I also don't like peadling out fake injuries to hide the fact your resting someone to limit the backlash from some supporters when you don't get a result at Huddersfield.

Possibly. The timing around that was a bit suspect as well though. Seemed to me Pearson picked his squad and then all of a sudden AK was announcing he's injured the night before the match on Twitter.
