[Jeff]

Praet replaces Ndidi

 

[Miles Away]

Interesting bench.

Mendy and Gray on it.

Nacho and Ndidi gone completely. Assume Ndidi has a knock.

 

[Jeff]

Subs: Ward, Justin, Morgan, Gray, Albrighton, Barnes, Mendy.

 

[TommyK]

Glad Praet is in. Was hoping Choudhury would have been dropped.

 

[Skitzo]

Interesting bench.

Mendy and Gray on it.

Nacho and Ndidi gone completely. Assume Ndidi has a knock.

Nigeria have a friendly coming up, something to do with that?

 

[Miles Away]

I’m ok with it. Would have dropped one of Wilf or Hamza.

Still don’t like the shape but maybe Praet will play a bit wider.

 

[Brown Nose]

It's the team I'd have picked even if Ndidi was fit. However, given Mendy is on the bench, he must have a knock (hamstring apparently which hopefully means he gets a break and he doesn't go off with Nigeria again in the break).

Excited about Praet. I thought he linked up with Maddison really well at Chelsea. Looks a clever player.

Interesting that Gray is preferred to Iheanacho in the battle of the 'I think I'm better than I am' cup.

The Sheff Utd line up is utter shite. If our attitude is right and we compete properly, we should win this.

Hamstring according to this ...

Ndidi Doubtful for Ukraine Friendly after Suffering Hamstring Injury

Wilfred Ndidi is unlikely to add to his international caps when the Super Eagles face Ukraine in an international friendly next month and it has nothing to do with Leicester City refusing to releas…

doesn't explain why Nacho has been dropped from the squad

 

[Micky]

3-1 to the Blades. Fans boo Brendan.

That’ll be because Rodgers has preferred Gray.

 

[SilverFox]

Why do we always start so slow. We used to really press in the first 10/15 minutes of games.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

We're passing it around very nicely IMO. This is an area where there is a notable improvement in standard since Rodgers replaced Puel.

 

[Brown Nose]

More Puel-ball. Dull as can be.

Only Ricardo seems to have realised that the season has started and it's not still friendlies.

 

[bocadillo]

At a goal kick does the ball still have to go out of the penalty area before an opponent can play it?

 

[Brown Nose]

Varrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdy!!!! 0-1

 

[Jeff]

Vaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrddddyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

We've deserved it I think. Haven't really been troubled, bossed possession and have been knocking it about pretty nicely. Not created too much up to now but you can't argue it hasn't been coming...
