TheStig Posted 14 February 2022 Share Posted 14 February 2022 Randers are poor. And they haven´t played competitively since December so they should be hammered. BUT its their cup final so they will work their butts off, and we are known to crumble at the slightest pressure. If we go one or two up early - a Brendan masterclass in defending a lead will last for 3 halves. 1 here and two in Randers. Cannot wait (: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza M Posted 15 February 2022 Share Posted 15 February 2022 I want to see a few rested for this. I hope Ricardo doesn't get 90 mins as fear he will be the next one limping off again at the weekend. 60 mins max. With 5 subs I expect Rodgers to use them all.

FoxesWalk Posted 15 February 2022 Share Posted 15 February 2022 We should be able to play fringe players here and still get a result. I’d start the likes of Perez and Vestergaard. Nacho can have a.m rare start, even Bertrand if he is fit. if we can’t beat this rabble we might as well wind up and start again in non league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sylofox Posted 15 February 2022 Share Posted 15 February 2022 If Brendan has lost the dressing room this game could be the tipping point a 1-1 or 0-1 should see him gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelmofox Posted 15 February 2022 Share Posted 15 February 2022 If we have any aspirations of being a regular in european competitions, we should go fairly strong here. You won't see many top European teams fielding unrecognisable teams in the 2nd phase of these competitions (certainly the successful ones). If you don't treat the tournament with some respect, then don't expect any in return. So no fecking Ward / Vesty please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that 2nd half vs West Ham showed that he hasn't lost the dressing room yet. This game is a really good opportunity to get some confidence back. I wouldn't want to rest too many for that reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVFox Posted 15 February 2022 Share Posted 15 February 2022 This competition really has to be taken seriously as our priority now. Would 10th and Europa Conference winners be a bad season?

I'd rest Ricardo and possibly drop one of Soyuncu or Amartey for being shite but other than that it should be our full strength team. Brendan Rodgers has never won a knockout European football tie at any club, that's disgusting and if he doesn't get through this then it's the end, it's got to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCCFox96 Posted 15 February 2022 Share Posted 15 February 2022 I'd be cautious with overexposing Ricardo after Justin's injury at the weekend but otherwise we might as well roll the dice with this competition. Full strength side. If we are 3 goals or so ahead I'd be happy to rotate in the second leg but lets get someway towards completing the job at home first. Given Randers haven't played competitively since December and we should have sufficient quality to dominate the game, I'd like to see us really take this to them in the home leg. Attack them like we did West Ham in the second half and give our available first team players more minutes together to work on whatever system/approach we are pushing to upturn our league form. Winning breeds confidence, something we are hideously short of right now, so let's take the opportunity to put a win on the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some momentum going for Barnes, he has to start. No way I'd risk Ricardo from the off, he can't do 3 starts in a week. Rest him and then he can start the 2nd leg if needs be.

I'd agree with that but given Justin has an injury after a spell out, I wouldn't be rushing Ricardo back. Alrbrighton to RB & Lookman up front and I'd probably pick the same. I'm not being funny though, if you're a squad player in a top half PL squad like ours, you should go out and put a mid table Danish side to the sword. We shouldn't have to play any first XI really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
