Webbo Posted 7 April 2022 Share Posted 7 April 2022 What had Iheanacho actually done? Does anyone think he was on the brink of scoring? Taking him off didn't seem a terrible mistake to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Vardy Posted 7 April 2022 Share Posted 7 April 2022 Kelechi might have a knock, to risk Daka for 20 minutes and pick up an injury would possibly leave us with no forwards….we were the better side for the first half should have been 2 up….they changed the way they set up and it was a stalemate. Can’t think of anyone who wasn’t decent tonight, Albrighton struggled and we looked tired last 20. Wouldn’t write us off yet….interesting nobody on here mentions defensively we have improved, and set pieces are no longer the hot topic they once were… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daka has been really struggling lately and his first touch is terrible. Yep. Daka can't play with his back to goal and hold the ball up which is what is needed against a team playing as deep as PSV were tonight. Nacho can play that role and he tried Lookman in it tonight which didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixtiesFox Posted 7 April 2022 Share Posted 7 April 2022 Needed to be braver but that's not in Brendan's DNA. Poor finishing yes, but when you only create two clear cut chances at home in a European quarter final against a team that is suspect defensively you will end up surrendering the initiative in the tie. As for Rodgers' substitutions...? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will try too hard and each game becomes another chance for him to fail. He has a raw quality which needs to be honed and his eagerness to impress curtailed. You would expect him to be the one upfront on Sunday, but I would not be surprised if Nacho gets the nod again. Possession football is not a way that helps his game, and a team playing either on the counter or very direct would suit him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 8 April 2022 Share Posted 8 April 2022 Brendan does seem to have a higher percentage of players he's 'not to keen on' or 'doesn't rate him anymore' or fallen out of favor with than normal. With many that are new signings or loans to the club. What's the issue? Praet Soumare Daka Vestergaard Under (who doing great at Marseille) Perez Iheanacho (before Vardy got injured) Let's just stick to buying UK players than.....in the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most except Iheanacho were Brendan's signing's. Don't seem to have this issues with manager's like Klopp or Conte whose signing's seem to kill for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking him off didn't seem a terrible mistake to me. People were saying the same thing on Saturday away against Man U. Done nothing, "tik im off", scores 5 minutes later and MotD run a segment that night drooling over his performance. He dropped deep, linked up play with tidy feet and strength while being a strong runner. Barnes hitting the bar came from him being a one-two to play off, our other main chance was his run through. All he needs is a one moment for a goal, his rating immediately goes from a 5/10 to an 8, such is life as a striker. If he was tired, saving him whatever fair enough but those 15 minutes after taking Kels off playing with no striker was a glaring tactical fault. Its not even like a front 3 of Albrighton/Lookman/Barnes were alternating up top, Ade had been sent on to be another attacking midfielder, we had no striker on while chasing the lead at home! It was absolutely bizarre. Stranger yet PSV did the exact same thing taking Zahavi off for Doan, their striker for an attacking mid. Dutch fans questioning their decision too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergen fox Posted 8 April 2022 Share Posted 8 April 2022 8 hours ago, honeybradger said: The results have turned but the criticisms of rodgers remain the same. Too many baffling decisions, why did he take off iheanacho just to play lookman out of position up front? resulted in 15 wasted minutes when iheanacho was linking up the play effectively beforehand. Why has barnes played 90 minutes? Actually why is he nailed on every game despite having a poor season? We've benched maddison/pushed him out onto the right wing and benched iheanacho/daka just to a accommodate a player who has had 1 good month out of 8. Why is justin played at right back and castagne at left back when they both perform better at opposite sides of the pitch? I just dont understand his thought process.

Barnes not at his best, but if his shot that hit the bar goes in, he would get all the headlines…. Tielemans playing a more defensive role, with no Wilf, Mendy, and as a defensive midfielder we keep a clean sheet….decent against a side second in the Dutch league. Lookman got 20 minutes The opposition are a well organised long experienced European competiton, Finally, take those four out who would you play in their place.Daka I can understand (He will probably start Sunday) the others?

Nacho played 90 minutes at Man U, then 70 mins vs PSV, and is more than likely going to play most of the games against Palace and PSV away.
