I thought we were past the 5 booking window? And it’s now 10?

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Feb 01, 2021 3:29 pm  

We could always play the lad we signed from Fulham at RB, Ayling to CH and Struijk in midfield but thats probably too many changes.
Shackleton and Hernandez to midfield with Poveda on the wing might work better.
Or draft Geldhart into the team.
Not so sure I agree that Bamford and Harrison was superb.
Thought in the first half they were utter sh$te.

Poveda got injured in the u23 game, so he won't play.

If Klich isn't suspended, then he'll probably play 10 with Dallas at 8. I think Klich is more of a 10 at this level anyway

yep it's reset at 19 games i believe.

i think it will be an uphill struggle for any of the bottom 3 to even get to the points total we have now. maybe fulham can still get around 30 but that's at a push. time to stop thinking about relegation at all after that win.

hopefully Raphinha is fit to play. I like Rodrigo and think we still have the best of him to come but we can cope without him for a few games by just dropping Klich back in. Raphinha really is providing that X factor though and would be a huge miss against two teams in Everton and Palace at home we are capable of beating and putting us in a really great position.

Maybe Hernandez in the 10 role or is he out of favour now?
Had we gone full strength for our next 2 games I was thinking max points.
But a couple of draws not that we do draws might be the best we can expect.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Tue Feb 02, 2021 11:30 pm  

Moved up to 11th tonight without playing

Bednarek killed my TFF team though. -12 points. Own goal conceded 6 before being sent off.. nightmare

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Feb 03, 2021 1:01 pm  

Shame we aren`t at full strength for the next 2 games as both are winnable and would almost certainly secure PL status for next year.

Could do with playing Southampton ASAP while they’ve got all their players out

Unlucky tonight and deserved a draw at least.
Shows how poor some of the teams outside the top 6 are as Everton weren`t anything special.
Thought I would see how Harrison went today and in the first half he had the ball 17 times found the man 4 times most within 10 foot, gave away a free kick and failed to find the man on 12 occasions.
We seem to concede most goals at the far post from set pieces.
Isn`t that where the LB should be defending?
Bamfords first touch for a CF is p$ss poor, Klich not at the races either and no idea what Costa and Roberts offer.
Other than that plenty of chances created but unlucky not to convert them.
