I think it just down to how physical Brentford are personally would have played Mendy and Wilf.

Mendy was 10/10 in the home game against Brentford last season.

Nampalys Mendy can be added to the extensive list of players that Rodgers has treated with zero respect. 

He respects no one as his heads so far up his own arse.

[nnfox]

If Iverson makes a single mistake Ward will be back in for the next game.

If we are playing out from the back today (as we usually do)  then we lose heavily

4-3-3.

 

The bench looks terribly weak.

It does indeed

 

and just so everyone realises - iverson is not shilton or banks - he isn’t even Schmeicel ……he may not be ian Walker !   but he will be better than ward and wheale …..

5 central midfielders on the bench

yeah drop mendy but Amartey keeps his place, like wtf is BR on, moronic

Soyuncu not even on the bench

pleased Iversen starts tho

2 wrong decisions outweigh 1 right one. Brendan playing selection roulette. 

[Trev3939]

This should provide a lift to the players, especially defenders who will now feel they can trust the keeper.

I'm not saying it would be my choice just guess the reasoning.

 

I'd have play Wilf and Mendy and left KDH out.

[J. James]

Iverson at least gives us a chance....of only losing by 2..

[Saxondale]

Iversen starting has made my day.

[Haywood_6]

Finally! Iversen is getting an opportunity, long overdue. But the fact Amartey is playing fills me with dread. Rodgers treatment of Soyuncu has been absolutely shocking.

[don_danbury]

marcel maduviafvha?

[Lambert09]

I honestly cheered the team news like we just scored a goal! This is absolutely massive!!!

Or not playing someone who doesn't give a toss and doesn't want to be here.

Exactly this, let’s shut the fvck up about Soyuncu he checked out ages ago. 
 

Piss poor form and shit management from BR probably lead to tough conversations internally, at which point Soyuncu completely downed tools. 
 

It’s a classic case of ‘sometimes your best games are when you DONT play’ and Soyuncu has benefitted massively from that. Don’t want him anywhere near the team 

[Muzzy_no7]

Finally drops Ward but chooses to start Amartey and Ndidi while dropping Mendy and continuing to refuse to select Soyuncu.

 

Where the hell is Evans? 

[Matt]

Iheanacho super sub to save his job once again?

Cheers for the insight Claude. I hated seeing 2 DMs, can see why you would. Try to stop the rot and get something, I just feel we need to get at them not worry about them. 

 

We need to get back to attacking football, but we are back to defensive set up to try and counter. 

Lets hope he's got something right.

I’d rather have Praet than Tete to be honest, far harder working and we’re going to need it today.

Wow, is that a typo or is Iverson playing.

 

To be fair, I'm expecting prime Buffon the way some on here have been harping on about him.

 

I know Wards sh1t, but there's no way Iverson is the saviour.

I don't think anyone has harped on about him, I just think most would literally have anyone in net than Ward. Iversen certainly isn't the long term answer but hopefully he can perform well enough to help us stay up. New keeper is the priority in the summer, unless we go down and then Iversen would be fine.

Rodgers Out 

[st albans fox]

He’s playing wilf instead of pappy to help defend set pieces 

 

Brentford are usually hot on set plays 

 

but he won’t recognise that wilf can’t play out from the back

No Ward 🎉

Rodgers out!!!

[Jattdogg]

Regardless of who is playing, we need to go all out for the 3 points.

 

Come on Leicester!

[southfox66]

I can only draw two conclusions from this team selection, Rodgers expect to lose today and be sacked by Monday.

He sprained his zip taking his tracky bottoms off last week …..
