Pre Match Leicester Vs Burnley

[Skitzo]

presumably Fuchs will come in at CB having had another full week of Training given Brendan said he doesn't want to be using Wilf there (unless Morgan or Benkovic are fit), so the question is does Maddison start? I would meaning Praet and Mendy drop out will assume those would be the only changes Rodgers will make

 

[londonfox]

I’d keep the same starting 11.

 

[Graz]

Same 11 I think.

Doubt Maddison is ready yet, and think Ndidi/Mendy both did their jobs well.

Fuchs isn't a CB either and I wouldn't trust him in as one of two, so think it's better to keep Ndidi there. I also think he'd deal with their aerial threat better than Fuchs would.

Suspect Maddison will be off the bench again but if he's ready then bench Praet.

 

[homer]

I personally wouldn’t have Perez anywhere near the starting eleven, but we don’t have a great deal of choice

Other than him, the rest deserve another go

Rodgers pre match quotes before Sunday were about Wilf being a world class defensive midfielder and how he doesn't want to move him from there, Fuchs isn't a CB no but he'splayed there more than Wilf has and it allows Wilf back to his best position which is why I think Rodgers will do it

Ndidi started his career as a central defender, so it's not like it's completely new to him. I think he's a better central defender than Fuchs. It's a question of whether we lose more in midfield than we gain in defence. I'd start him in defence, and maybe change things during the game if we need him in midfield.

Fuchs was my presumption due to being on the bench, not sure what Benkovic's injury is or whether Wes will be fit either, I'd personally probably play Wilf there over Fuchs but I'm talking about what I think the manager will do

 

[mabrah]

I thought Ndidi was very composed and mature so I'd stick with him there in the absence of Wes/Benko. With Fuchs, you always risk a 'rush-of-blood' moment.

 

[Miles Away]

It'll be the same 11. Would be a bit mad to change it really.

 

[Payne74]

It's Burnley, we will have the larger percentage of possession and they will rely on free kicks and corners to lump it in the box, because of this I would keep the same 11 as vs WBA, Chris Wood would love Fuchs as a CB

 

[Skitzo]

Chris Woods would love Fuchs as a CB

that's great but what about Chris Wood?

 

[Graz]

that's great but what about Chris Wood?

He Wood love it too.

 

[popillius]

I think it's likely to be the same 11, although Perez might be at risk of being dropped. I've made no secret of the fact I like him and think he adds a lot to our forward play; I still think this, especially as he was the only one who bothered to turn up after lock down but he was our worst player by a long way on Sunday and we can't afford a passenger.

 

[pork pie fox]

We could do with a bit more height in the team, when it comes to facing their set pieces.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Chris Woods would love Fuchs as a CB

Chris Woods was a goalkeeper, so I doubt it

 

[tedfoxxx]

Chris Woods was a goalkeeper, so I doubt it

Brilliant.

 

[M17TT C]

Tim Howard in goal with Fuchs playing in the same team would make for some complicated shouts.....

 

[M17TT C]

Anyway, on the Burnley match - same eleven for me.

I'd be tempted to bring Gray in for Perez but after a 3 nil win and a whole week break, it would be a strange to make any changes unless forced.

 

[glyn]

Chris Woods was a goalkeeper, so I doubt it

Think he had a better first touch too.

 

[Blaarev]

Best first touch ever.
