Sampson Posted 21 March 2022 Share Posted 21 March 2022 (edited) 4 hours ago, Steve Earle said: Possibly out for the rest of the season, according to Tanner. It never rains but… Disappointing to lose another player but he’s not had a great season (nor a great end to last season) and we haven’t looked any poorer whenever he’s been out this season really. If we’d heard that news 18 months ago it would’ve been gutting and we’d have felt his absence massively, probably the 2nd most player we’d really struggle to be without only to Vardy, but being without Ndidi right now doesn’t feel like a massive deal. I’m hoping he can come back next season like the player we all know he can be. Edited 21 March 2022 by Sampson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 21 March 2022 Share Posted 21 March 2022 We've got to hope Rodgers can make one of Soyuncu or Fofana a passable CDM for the ECL or that competition is out of our reach. Makes my blood boil that Jakupovic is registered for that squad and Mendy isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendy deserves more than reserve football and if he is not played here he should be allowed to move on. He was not even registered for the PL.

Really Mendy should have been included over perez, Vestergaard, hamza or soumare but it's easy to say with hindsight. I wonder how many people were complaining at the time the squad was announced? Tried to find the thread to see but had no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Ward injured and then Kasper pick up a knock you would be happy with a youth player with no experience playing in Qtr-final? KDH played DM for Luton over 20 times last season. He will cover Wilf.

Apparently, there was a move lined up near the deadline, but it didn't come off. That's why he wasn't registered in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 21 March 2022 Share Posted 21 March 2022 Re: European Squad Mendy was excluded originally has it looked he was set to move in the final week of the transfer window. We are only allowed to name 24 players in our squad has we don't have enough players from our academy to qualify (4) - ie. we have three You are allowed to change 3 players for your knockout stages. We registered Justin and Fofana. Benkovic and Bertrand were removed. Totally understandable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tickler28 Posted 21 March 2022 Share Posted 21 March 2022 (edited) The goalkeeper situation I understand re ECL squad.....hell I even get including Vestergaard as we have so many CB injury issues. The 2 I can't understand is Perez or Soumare....both completely out of favour and nobody hanging their hat on them if key players get injured. Mendy had proven he could fill in for Ndidi....Soumare had not Edited 21 March 2022 by tickler28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 21 March 2022 Share Posted 21 March 2022 Doubt he'll play again this season, maybe a risk for the ECL final, other than that though he won't. Just let him rest up, recover and go again next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 21 March 2022 Share Posted 21 March 2022 Sad for Wilf but hopefully he'll be back to somewhere near his best. Give Soumare a chance now in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDH is being pushed with game time, eventually he is going to go over the edge, we do need his drive in the team, we just do not need him to be out for too long.

Trev3939 Posted 8 May 2022 Share Posted 8 May 2022 Would we have beaten roma if he was on the pitch with his aggression and height in the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspa Posted 8 May 2022 Share Posted 8 May 2022 Height in the box would've helped, certainly... Castagne too! A better team with Wilf in it but we're talking hypotheticals vs. Roma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
