A point would be a great result before kick off. Hoping Jack is fired up and can produce. I completely disagree. A close run affair is exactly what we don't want. We want to be able to take both Luiz and mcginn out at about 70-80 minutes gone so they are fresh for Leeds. I would much rather it be 3-0 us (obviously) or 3-0 them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra day will also help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I am struggling to see the rationale behind a 3-0 loss being better than a draw! I would probably take a point now, although obviously I'm hoping for much more, and then move on and wallop Bielsa's mob back at VP in the next game week!

I'd rather go into Leeds undefeated than a few players got 20 mins rest and we've been pumped 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 How about just bring them off when they're tired and less effective regardless of the score. Surely a well used McGinn is better than Nakamba from kick off. And then at 70 minutes if his week is catching up with him, a fully fit Nakamba is bettet than a tired and spent McGinn (just)...maybe should have gone with Conor rather than Nakamba but you get my point.

Popular Post TheAuthority Posted October 16, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2020 Supposedly Leicester's main centre back pairing are out injured, as is Vardy and Maddison is a big doubt. If we don't equal our goal tally against Liverpool then I'll be disappointed quite honestly. We also have to tighten up at the back because we can't concede 2 every week. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We struggle v him and we could attack them much more without worrying about him on the counter attack in the semi final second leg last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember so that's one less game than SJM in last two weeks. Hourihane would be easier to maintain balance than say starting Nakamba as then we'd have to shift Doug to Box to box midfielder and I'd rather keep things as they are.

To be honest I prefer to start McGinn, then get Hourihane, Nakamba or even Ramsey. I don’t think Hourihane with Luiz are enough. Especially as Barkley is more of an attacker (which is what Hourihane shines at too). Smith need to use subs much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted October 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2020 Grealish and Barkley will be fresh. McGinn suddenly looked like he'd found his fitness again while playing for Scotland - he looked ripped Depending how the travel has effected Dougie, I'd be tempted to start the team that just beat the champions. Be ready to bring on Hourihane/Ramsay/Nakamba as the JM and DL tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like his confidence is back. Most definitely. Against Fulham and Liverpool he has contributed 3 assists and 1 goal. Feels like you can say the same of half our first team thesedays tbh . But the last 2 is the best ive seen McGinn since even before his injury. Probably Burnley game at home when he was unplayable. He’s getting back to his very best and we look at our very best when this is the case. Whod have thought we’d be looking to Liverpool to do us a favour so we can go top this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
