There's enough quality in this squad and some very winnable games - it won't sit well with me if the europa conference is used as an excuse for not finishing top 8 considering the position we find ourselves in right now. 6 of our last 8 are very winnable and we have few injuries right now. We should be looking to finish on a minimum of 56 points in my opinion, assuming we don't lose 5/6 players to injury over the coming week or two. How he does it, I don't particularly care. We're playing some poor teams though and we have to have something to show for it. If other teams end up picking up more points and we can't catch them, then so be it. We need to be targetting 56+ points and a good showing in the semis from this point though. Edited 20 April 2022 by filbertway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Md9 Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 I think we will win tonight I don’t see us wanting to be losing to many in a row before Roma so can see us playing a strong team tonight. Let’s smash these tonight and a draw at the weekend wouldn’t be to bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton have looked hopeless this season - team of good players, but not a good team. Up until their last match, they have been staring relegation in the face, and still are, however their last match will have done them the world of good in terms of confidence and belief and i feel that they will come in to this match, , which they will see as very winnable, with all guns blazing. Okay, they beat a poor Manchester United team, but it's still a win against Manchester United. Whilst i don't doubt we are the better team overall, i just feel that Everton will have more desire, they will be more committed to 50/50's and i think they will get the better of us. I expect the likes of Richarlison & Anthony Gordon to cause us some real problems if they play. I would also be interested to see if Gray starts. He's not been first choice this season however playing a former club can sometimes bring out that bit extra from a player, especially some one with the arrogance of Gray who will do his utmost to dry and make out we have missed out on the future Pele. I'd love to see us win tonight, and we are more than capable of it, i just don't think we'll have the guts to win enough of the 50/50's. I mean I'm not a huge fan of the guy but what is this accusation based on? Although I do agree that potentially it could make an ex player try that little more against an old club, I'm not sure about calling him out to be arrogant?

If I had to start one of those guys it would be Wes, but why break them up when they’re in a good groove and synched with each other? Just play them against Everton and then rest them. And make sure KDH gets a break in one of the next two matches. I agree with you but think the more important aspect of your disagreement is familiarity, and that we should have a midweek team and a weekend team, certainly for the defence while we can, probably more difficult for midfield certainly. That way fofana and Evans are playing once a week and always together and as it is/used to be normal to play once a week there should he no excuses for rustiness and as much rest as we can afford to give them. I obviously want to win every game (and we should have at Newcastle, even with a completely different back 4, and minus the brain farts we still should have) but Roma is most important. As for resting kdh and tielemans, I'd do both tonight but if worried about not being good enough, kdh is priority and if tielemans got injured, I don't think I'd worry too much, with how poor he has been.

Evans and Fofana to start. Tielemans to be "rested." Maddison to play Central. Newcastle couldn't believe their luck when we brought him on Sunday to influence and he touched the ball about twice. Iheanacho and Daka to start. These are woeful at the back. Let's be bold and exploit it. Kasper Ricardo Fofana Evans Castagne KDH Mendy Hamza Maddison Iheanacho Daka This is pretty much my permanent team choice with tielemans for hamza and Vardy in leaving the other 2 to rotate/play based on form. Plenty of chance to use the wingers to change a game up for fresh legs or cos it's not working. Edited 20 April 2022 by gw_leics772 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Curious as to why everyone thinks we're destined to lose this after one flat performance vs Newcastle that most were very confident we'd win. We'll have a stronger team out tonight as well I'd have thought at the back and Maddison will surely start. Wr have to improve our away form, I hope Sundays defeat will spur on a desire to do so in the league before the end of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He aint bald Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Another pre conference friendly? Maybe they should cancel and charge a fiver to watch the players running and doing keepy uppys around Bradgate Park. Keeps the players sharp and is a cheaper, more entertaining day out for the fans. That said........ win that nice shiny cup and all will be forgiven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be madness to keep playing KDH, in serious danger of over playing him as it is. His biggest facet is his work rate, the more we play him 3 times a week the less useful that's going to be when he's got no recovery time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally not sure about destined to lose and I fully understand the need to manage lots of games. Just a shame for those travelling fans wanting to see ambitous football and and getting the pragmatism of the Arsenal, Man U and Newcastle games. However, it is still better than most of what I had to suffer in my travelling days.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hamza doesn't start today then surely his Leicester career is done? The fact that he hasn't factored into any rotation so far as startling, especially when we have seen how much KDH and Youri is getting played.
