Leicester away - Pre match

[Modo]

He can't possibly play the same team again?
I mean, I don't see anything wrong with it, but it would be a bit surprising.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

He won't - I think we'll see Keita on the bench.

 

[ibromurph]

He won't - I think we'll see Keita on the bench.

I'm not sure why can't play the same team? Why should anyone get dropped? We're in good from right now and it's only one game a week!?

 

[Bradley]

Would like to see Henderson come in, he's been influential off the bench so far. Keita the most likely to drop out and come on if we need to force things in the last 20 minutes.

 

[FoxForceFive]

No way will we play the same side again.

 

[moron]

Probably be the same team ... maybe but most likely change will be Henderson replacing Keita. Leicester have pace though in midfield. I dont think this game will be easy at all.

 

[Modo]

Sad state of affairs if that's true. 102mill on three new players. Same midfield as last season.
Great!

 

[ibromurph]

Leicester have blistering pace in midfield (out wide) and upfront.

But at the back, they're pretty one paced. Thus, as long as we have a dynamic midfield (Keita, Gini and Milner) to match them, I don't see why we should have any more problems than we did against Palace (a team with more pace at the back than Leicester).

 

[Halmeister]

Great!

Yeah, I mean we've only won every game so far. Gutted.

 

[Modo]

So Keita played last season?

 

[Halmeister]

So Keita played last season?

I meant trust the manager

Great!

Have been thinking that a lot ... but i think Gini is playing way better than he has for us and is the big difference plus Milner showing way too much energy to be dropped.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Based on Klopp's comments, I don't think he was that happy with the Brighton performance.

Don't drop anyone then. Or give Fabinho a chance, or maybe even Shaqiri.

 

[moron]

I think Shaq will start against Spurs in place of Firminio and he will definitely have a few mins against Leicester after we struggle against them for the first 50-60 mins.

I don't.

Fabinho doesn't seem like he's ready yet. He's getting the ox/robertson treatment. No need to rush him. Can't see who deserves to be dropped as we've won every game and have yet to concede a goal. But klopp wasn't happy with our pressing and intensity in the 2nd half. But who do you drop? Can only think of maybe milner and keita. Wijnaldum is playing well at the moment.

Milner has been as good as anyone in our first three games, arguably our best player.

If he's dropped it can only be due to resting him, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility. I certainly agree that we will see some changes, but then I said that before the last game too.

 

[Modo]

Why rest anyone before an international break? Especially Milner, cause he ain't going anywhere.

 

[manwithnoname]

Because resting and recuperation isn't just about "replace when entirely knackered" but ongoing (and maintained) fitness & performance levels over a long period of time.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Same team as last week. Rotation will be required after the international break / when the champions league returns

 

[Frogfish]

Haha yeah right. As if.

My money is on same team. IF there is a change I think it'll be Milner for Hendo .. but that's a big if.

 

[Brizzle]

I think we’ll start Hendo at DM and drop Gini or Keita.

Leicester are using Maddison as their focal point so having a DM monitoring him will do us well. Leicester look weak at the back and are lacking Vardy & Mahrez so I’m hopeful we can get one or two early on and nullify and later onslaught

Good point, I think Leicester will be he first game this season where we will actually have to worry about the opponent’s counter-play. Puel has them playing possession-style football, even against the likes of United. They will try to be compact, but won’t park the bus. No Vardy is a big bonus for us, but they have real quality and creativity in Maddison and Gray.

If we win this game, it will be because our attack is better and more clinical than theirs. Time for the front 3 to step up.

I don't know about that, with Zaha and the FBs at Palace, they're a pretty effective counterattacking team.

 

[binomial]

Vardy suspended for this.

It will be same team but Hendo in for Milner imo

 

[jan]

We'll batter them

 

[rurikbird]

Sure, but like I said Leicester under Puel wants to play more possession-based rather than counter-attacking football. Against United, they controlled the play for stretches. Will not be so easy against us, but I think they will try.

 

[Markeh]

Henderson for Milner like a few others have said.

Milner has been great but I thought he started to look a bit tired in the last game, a weeks rest is good but I think he should be benched every couple of games to keep him fresh.

He won’t drop Gini.

He’s super fit and he’s been very good in every game so far. He was the one everyone thought would make way, but you’ve gotta keep his confidence going by picking him until he has a dogshit game (will happen at some point).

You play well, you get rewarded by staying in the team.
