Team V Huddersfield

Next is relegated Huddersfield. Harry Maguire returns from suspension. Daniel Amartey is still injured and Marc Albrighton is still a few weeks off returning. So here is what I would go with

Schmeichel

Ricardo
Morgan
Evans
Chilwell

Ndidi
Tielemans

Gray
Maddison
Barnes

Vardy

Subs- Ward, Maguire, Fuchs, Choudhury, Mendy, Ghezzal, Iheanacho

 

Team picks itself atm. Harry will have to sit out given Wes’ form

 

Hard to think we have an England defender on the bench and a £20M defender not in the squad

 

And a £12mill or whatever out on loan....I was saying Wes is past it and yes he shouldn’t step in the way of young lads coming through but he’s earning his place atm

 

Agreed Wes keeps it. Between Maguire and Evans. Personally I think you stick with Evans after a clean sheet

 

Agreed. I much prefer this, playing a regular, strong team instead of Puel's bingo/ out of the hat team selection.

 

I think at centre half its now Evans+an other

Evans has been superb in recent months

 

BRs Northern Irish bro

Yeah wouldn't change it, not exactly the game where you need your best side on paper.

 

I think Rodgers will stick with the same side - no need to fix what isn't broken against the worst attack in the Premier League.

Wonder if it might be worth not even having Maguire on the bench so Soyunku can have a run out? - has barely played this season.

 

Looks like we may be back in with a shout for 7th, and if man city win the cup - it would be europa league I think.... poison chalice????
regardless its still unfuckingbelievable to see how far we have come from the season we dropped to league 1 ... not that long ago.

 

I don’t get that view point that I’ve seen elsewhere. People saying avoid qualifying for Europe to concentrate on next season to try and qualify for Europe? Strange logic imo anyway. Most likely in the initial rounds it’d be very small, obscure sides so you can play a side accordingly and build up as the fixtures get tougher just like a regular pre-season. If we qualify, I’d see it as basically a more competitive pre-season. If we get to the group then take it from there

 

Bad results for us last night, nothing but a win will do on Saturday. Wolves and Watford still have to play each other in the league as well as the cup so they’ll be points dropped if we do our bit

 

Looking at our fixtures

Huddersfield A is must win
Newcastle H is must win
West Ham A is must not lose

Arsenal and Chelsea at home we probably need 3/4 points from

Man City away last season aside we have always done well there. But they can lift the trophy that day so will be tough

 

BREAKING: Marc Albrighton has returned to full training with the squad.


Rodgers: "We hope to have him fit in the next two weeks, he's not available for the weekend. He’s done great to get back in, but he needs to work on his multi-directional movement and fitness with the ball.

 

Team news



Evans reportedly injured, no specified details. Maguire left at home with baby.

 

Depth we have at centre half is crazy

 

Evans has a hip injury.

 

Tielemans 1-0

Should be 2 really, Gray missing a sitter.

 

Should be game over. Missed a couple of sitters!

203 goals for vardy, level with Lineker.
