The hilarious thing here, and I do have the movie reference, that it actually brings back memories ... The UEFA once suspended our key midfielder Steven Nzonzi for the Champions League game against Chelsea because he had "kicked a water bottle" at no one in particular on the way to the dressing room after the defeat to Seville... The UEFA literally would, if it is a "small team" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Lcfc Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 As others have said, this is the season right here. Failure to go through here will be massively disappointing and will be up there with the other capitulations that have occurred under Rodgers. We have to prove ourselves mentally. How good would it be for us to get through though? Imagine a quarter-final against Roma / Marseille. Would be amazing. But, it was evident last Thursday that these are a decent side. Thought they moved the ball around well and are physical - that second goal was massive but this is far from over. If we concede that early goal, then I’m very worried that we will collapse. We have to be very careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually an optimist but I can see it being 4-1 to them, either 3-1 at 90 minutes and 4-1 AET or 4-1 after 90. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OntarioFox Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 I think we'll have enough to do it tonight. 1-1 draw or squeaky-bum 1-2 loss. Keep the faith regardless. As for the comments on Leicester as a destination, it really ain't all that bad here. Some shite parts of town, but I appreciate that the efforts to tidy up the town centre and canalside are starting to bear fruit. Them doing Churchgate right now is the classic "pollishing a turd" scenario, granted, but you can't win 'em all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan's been seen in training photos, so I'm guessing he's starting. Mention of no Cags nor Veste (never mind eh?) but Evans is there. So are we to assume an Amartey/Evans paring with Fofana on the bench with Nelson? Perso, I'd have kept it boring and stayed with the developing Cags and Dan double act. Aside which, Rennes are a bit pacey and Evans isn't. Cags, for all his bomb-scariness, can get back. I think this game matters and I'd rather not be risking Evans' come back only lasting a half hour before having to patch things up.... though I guess we do have 5 subs.... OK, maybe not so bad. Maybe BR likes to keep 'em guessing? .....I think he will go 3 at the back with Wing Backs pushed on, two upfront with Daka and Nacho!!! There is a defensive element to this as well as an attacking threat to keep them (Rennes) on the backfoot. Ndidi, KDH and Maddison in the middle, for creativity, tempo and a screen for the backline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea 😂 I'm at work till 5:45ish and then a 30 minute commute home, I don't know whether to not focus on the game go about my evening as normal and pray we win or rush home watch it and be a nervous wreck for 90 minutes. either way the nerves are certainly building now!

Our only shootout this year was dreadful though, we missed 3 of 6, our keeper didn't touch one (the other team missed them) and we ended up going out to Nancy, who are rock bottom in Ligue 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it’s one thing being optimistic but you have to be realistic. How many ‘big’ games have we turned up during Rodgers’ tenure? Not many. Just hopping that the second goal from Kel will give us enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 For some reason I'm starting to feel more positive about this game. I think we'll nick a goal. Just a question of whether we can keep them to less than 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy king Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 Its funny how everyone's really worried when I think we were much better for most of the game than them. Yes they were ok, particularly first twenty but we were better for the rest of the match. They are the ones who should be scared of us, and I reckon we'll win again tonight.
