Having more players makes absolutely no difference. It’s not the size it’s the quality of that size, look at Man City for example they can rest Mahrez and bring in Sterling, take out Rodri and bring in Fernandinho, Foden for Jesus etc. As we’ve seen this season when we lose or rest a top player, our team is significantly impacted in a way the top teams aren’t. West Ham are starting now to go down with the injuries we had at the end of last season and they haven’t had the domestic cup runs we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Soumare will be able to be called upon more often next season, what happens with the other 4 is anyone's guess. We've gone to great efforts to supposedly strengthen our squad as opposed our starting XI and yet people are making excuses because the squad players aren't as good as the starting XI and therefore we can never rotate as much as we'd like. We can't rotate as much as we'd like because we've usually always got half a dozen injuries and at any given time more will get injured in games and have stay on or the amount of illnesses this squad has had this year supposedly not covid is just bizarre.

It has been clear on the signing sections how we has interacted with those greatly. Last nights show at the end although not many left in the stand will have helped no end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a squad of 25 for Europe and another squad of 25 for the PL then there will be 50 players competing on the clubs behalf. As a team with a lesser budget half of both teams will be included in both squads therefore there would be, on rough calculation 38 players competing on behalf of our club, a significant difference. I still believe behind the scenes practises are the reason for our injuries and an overhaul is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is now the first Leiecester manager to reach the last eight of a European competition having qualified for Europe. He must have done something right. If we win the Europa Conference, it will be a he'll of an achievement. By that logic we just need to fall far enough to outclass all of the opposition, and BR is a great manager? Maybe win the Leicestershire senior league? 🎉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets try October when he’s got his squad overhaul that he claims is so desperately needed as our players are apparently not good enough.

We are gonna need more goalscorers for next season that's for sure... especially looking at the progress our rivals who sit just outside the top six have made this season. The right sided forward player we have longed for has to be able to net consistently. I'm also bothered if I'm honest by the void between Vardy and our other two strikers as well. Hopefully they will close the gap next season as Vardy's game time declines a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be too late then, he'd have spent all our dosh on wingers and play them at centre half or stick em in goal 🤣. We'll have the best passing game in our own penalty box! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager that not a single 1 of the clubs it was meant to aid (according to UEFA) will ever win this tournament & you could also argue out of the remaining teams Leicester is probably the team with the least amount of European experience with the remaining having Champions league or Europa ventures most seasons.

Is winning the conference the only way our European campaign can be judged as a success? Not trying to be sassy I'm genuinely curious. I'm a tepid Rodgers in type. I think he deserves the season considering the success of what has come before. Even if we finish the season with a whimper I think he deserves to start next season even if another underwhelming campaign should result in him getting sacked. Sorry - was in Rennes so not really been on here at all. Well, was mainly aimed at the Rennes tie and I stand by that given we'd won 2-0 at home, going out from there would've been a choke. It's tricky because demanding we win this whole thing... it's got some good sides left in it, but we really ought to be as well placed as anybody to win it too. Regarding what you say at the end, that all sounds well and good but I worry doing that leads to more damage going forward. I don't see him going this season now though. I think if we'd tumbled on Thursday it could've happened but I don't now - unless we're humiliated in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
