It’s almost certain we’ll never see him back to his best. Soumare may not be a defensive midfielder, but he still needs to do his bit defensively - and he’s too lazy to do that. He’s a sauntering, casual player who regularly gifts the ball to the opposition - and that’s not what we need right now. Mendy may not be tall but he offers far more to us than Ndidi or Soumare. I’d also likely play KDH instead of Tielemans because he will give it absolutely everything, and we need players like that at the moment. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad I know, but if it's them on the team sheet I don't even think I will enter the stadium. This is the game we need the lads to step up and show they have the fight. We now have 3 cup finals and need to fight for every ball, now we see what we have. Foxes never quit and all that, let those that are going to be foxes next year start this game (and Cags of course).

I think you've been a little harsh on Soumare in my opinion, I thought of late he has covered some ground, i'd love to see the stats on distances covered because i only have what is see on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless if you are pitching Soumare as a defensive midfield or a higher up the pitch, against Liverpool you’ve gotta run and track back. Youri’s never been any good v Liverpool and Rodgers quite often wouldn’t start with him against them. Ultimately though Soumare has zero output up the front end of the pitch whereas Youri might occasionally smash a banger or split a defence Edited 13 May 2023 by CosbehFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidsworth Posted 13 May 2023 Share Posted 13 May 2023 I'm just hoping the Liverpool fans give us a nice rendition of 'you'll never walk alone' as we're gonna need as much support as possible going forward. :'-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmayne7 Posted 13 May 2023 Share Posted 13 May 2023 Sort of game that I'd have backed us to win over the past 5 years, especially when the chips are down. But the mentality is so cack I can't see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 13 May 2023 Share Posted 13 May 2023 I’d rather have KDH and Mendy in the middle than Tielemans or Soumare. Tielemans I really hope has played his last game for us. Maddison the third. Play 3 at the back please. With Riccy and Castagne as full backs. Go two up top. if we can get Evans into the side it’s a further plus point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
