EastAnglianFox Posted 13 March 2022 Share Posted 13 March 2022 Lucky for us I can see us sneaking an early goal to kill the tie as we are notorious for starting on the front foot and showing intent...... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose it from here then there's very little excuses left anymore for Brendan this season. He simply has to get this right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloe_77 Posted 13 March 2022 Share Posted 13 March 2022 (edited) Whatever happens Brendan cannot try to be too smart. Needs to be a similar team that played the fixture at home. I don’t want to see Vestaguaard coming on as a failed masterclass sub Edited 13 March 2022 by Chloe_77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 13 March 2022 Share Posted 13 March 2022 Just to raise everyone's spirits, if we'd class Rennes as at least a mid table PL team on ability, we've currently taken only 2 points against the entire top 12 (10th and 11th) away from home this season. Our away form is so so bad and we will need at least 1 more goal IMO, possibly 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would just be the equivalent of being beaten up by a gang of youths in an alley and one sticking one on your balls. You've already been beaten to death anyway.

Policymakers focus is quite rightly elsewhere on much more important matters. I’d be amazed if any players can’t travel to Rennes due to Covid rules What the hell are you waffling about. Covid has KILLED 6 million world wide nothing to do with meddling. And unless you have been jabbed you ain’t getting into France and that’s nothing to do with Boris meddling.

lgfualol Posted 13 March 2022 Share Posted 13 March 2022 Get it done. Fail and the season ends pathetically. I think he'll start with a back 4 and switch to a 5 (with fofana off the bench) if we're in a good spot by the 60th min. Then it'll be puckered bumholes until the final whistle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royston. Posted 13 March 2022 Share Posted 13 March 2022 Obviously Rodgers will go defensive and I can imagine all too well the pressure that would put us under. Hope we can muster something on the odd counter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pour moi, même si vous menez, on peut en mettre 3 derrière comme on l'a fait face à Arsenal en 2019. On est bien meilleur dans le jeu qu'il y a 3 ans et Génésio ne reproduira pas l'erreur tactique de l'aller en alignant seulement 2 milieux de terrain dans l'axe. Si on joue comme on en a l'habitude à domicile, on peut renverser le match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbury Fox Posted 13 March 2022 Share Posted 13 March 2022 Based on how they play, it's going to be a total onslaught from them for the first 20 minutes, with the home crowd baying for blood and right on top of us. Who wouldn't fancy this team and manager in that kind of situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not need to make this easy for them by playing into their hands. We can play on the counter ourselves, but that would be Barnes and Daka, i am not sure Rodgers will be playing Lookman. It would be interesting to play a 4-2-3-1 with Perez on the right playing in the half space so as he is supporting Daka. Perez likes to lay the ball off with one touch so Daka needs to be on his toes all the time. Failing that, JJ playing at RB and Ricardo pushed forward for the extra pace out wide. There is no way Rodgers is going to play two up top, it is a hill he is apparently ready and willing to die on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nous n'avons pas besoin de leur faciliter la tâche en faisant le jeu de leurs mains. Nous pouvons jouer nous-mêmes au comptoir, mais ce serait Barnes et Daka, je ne suis pas sûr que Rodgers joue à Lookman. Il serait intéressant de jouer un 4-2-3-1 avec Perez à droite jouant dans le demi-espace alors qu'il soutiendrait Daka. Perez aime lancer le ballon d'une seule touche, donc Daka doit être sur ses gardes tout le temps. À défaut, JJ jouant à RB et Ricardo a avancé pour le rythme supplémentaire à l'extérieur. Il n'y a aucun moyen que Rodgers joue deux en haut, c'est une colline sur laquelle il est apparemment prêt et disposé à mourir. Pas du tout, c'était seulement 51 % à 49 % à la mi-temps mais comme Lyon était largement derrière au score, ils ont mis plus de rythme en deuxième mi-temps et pris le contrôle du ballon. Malgré les 2 buts concédés bêtements (un CSC de notre capitaine et un penalty suite à une faute de notre gardien), on a jamais été inquiété dans le jeu par une équipe aux moyens bien supérieurs aux nôtres.

Nicolo Barella Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 Albrighton and Dewsbury-Hall both looking quite leggy makes me worried as they were two of our best performers in the first leg. I can see us needing 2 goals to go through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no 'suddenly' about it. That Cup win back in May should have people realise football is about trophies and memories.

I think your right, I'd say 2 Goals required, especially if we concede early, with their intense 20 to 25 mins spells, which will likely increase with the Home Fans cheering them on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 Think we'll need to score a goal to go through, God help us if we go out here Tielemans rested yesterday so hopefully puts on a class performance. We need Daka to step up as well. None of this crap defending from set pieces either, need to get a few things right and we'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lako42 Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 I fancy them to score 4 Will be an interesting night. If we get dumped out then sack BR now and start the rebuild for next season as this one will be finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
