Pre Match Leicester v Sheffield United

[popillius]

yes you do for a very simple reason, the formation would make zero sense, where exactly would they all be playing? Maddison wouldn't be part of a 2 man midfield which is pretty much the only way you could sort of make it work.

Why wouldn't he? Again, you're confusing your opinion with fact. You may not choose to play him there but I don't see it would be a problem if you wanted to play him in that role.

Schmeichel
Ricardo
Evans
Soyuncu
Chilwell
Perez
Maddison
Ndidi
Barnes
Iheanacho
Vardy

I can't see how that would be any worse than the complete horse shit we have served up of late.

If you didn't want him in a 2 you could play him in a 4-3-3:

Schmeichel
Ricardo
Evans
Soyuncu
Chilwell
Maddison
Ndidi
Barnes
Perez
Vardy
Iheanacho

Again, probably not for me this one, but it's no worse than some of Brenda's ****wittery.

because playing Maddison that deep takes him out of the areas he is most effective and worse still means we'd be completely overran defensively it simply wouldn't work, you know this, if Rodgers picked that team you'd be in the match thread raging bout how flimsy it is but carry on

Takes him out of the game? Like playing him as a wide man like Rodgers has done time after time?

I'm pleased Ricardo is back early, is that fact or just your (misguided) opinion?

 

[camberwell fox]

The more I look at it the more I like it, Maddison and Chilwell too, nice

Was just trying to show the possibiliteeees available. What I wouldn't give for Ricardo to be fit!

 

[Graz]

Apparently Chilwell, Maddison and Albrighton are all being assessed tomorrow.

Assume that means none of them will be fit

you'd assume players with injuries are always assessed the day before as usually that's when clubs name the team internally

Kasper

Justin Bennett Evans Fuchs

Mendy Ndidi Tielemans

Perez Vardy Barnes

Bennett is a complete lumbering oaf of a defender.

He has the turning circle of the titanic, his passing his terrible, and did you see his pathetic attempt at trying to tackle Solanke for his second goal?

Which is why Wolves didn’t want him, and why he hasn’t featured at all until, crazily, we entered this restart set of matches and he suddenly becomes part of the first team

Quite how he made it straight into the team after previously being completely ignored is a complete mystery

Yep, gone from 5th choice centre back behind Morgan and Fuchs, straight into 3rd choice. Baffling.

I don't disagree, though I'd quibble with "oaf" That he's selected ahead of Wes has got to be to do with what's seen on the training ground. Maybe Wes is equally 'oafish' I don't suppose, in an ideal world, either would be on the team sheet. The last transfer window didn't go well and it doesn't seem like Benko has worked out as hoped.

 

[The Old Fox]

Of course, whilst we are all making our team selections, there is one area that only Rodgers and the training staff can assess: which of our players have the bottle for this? The second half against Bournemouth was pretty traumatic: we capitulated, rather than being beaten by a Bournemouth revival. (I agree that this rather argues for the likes of Wes' to play).

 

[Payne74]

Nobody wants Bennett or Morgan in the side but at least one of the Twonks has to play.

 

[Skitzo]

well there is the option of Evans and Fuchs with Chilwell at left back but yeah at least one of Bennett or Wes will play

Matty James can play at centre back

Just saying....

too ****ing far Homer, no wonder Kelly won't give you a soapy ...

 

[homer]

He has played there, though, I’m sure

Or maybe I’ve lost it altogether

Ndidi started there in Belgium, think James last played CB at youth team level
