Digne has returned so he gets his spot back and it's now on Digne to play well enough to keep it. Not sure how a player earns their place if it doesn't count when they replace an injured player.

MotoMkali Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Why 2 keepers? Because the 7 players we have will get on the pitch before Kadan Young. Therefore the only reason we'd sub young on is if Duran or Coutinho got hurt after being subbed on. Whereas if Olsen got hurt/sent off after being subbed on we'd definitely need a keeper. Whereas we could change formation in the event that Duran or Coutinho needed to come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young has just been superb this season. Yes I don’t mind him either , depending on how the game goes he might come on for a bit of extra stability later on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 People moaning about 2 keepers. F*** me, who cares. There’s still 5 other outfield players on the bench we can bring on. It’s not like we’re low on options by having 2 keepers on the bench. I don’t even think teams should be allowed 7 subs tbh. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreno is preferred to Kaden to replace Buendia. Mcginn and Cash to replace Ramsey. Coutinho and Duran to replace Bailey. Obviously Chambers, Dendoncker preferred to replace one of the CBs or Kamara or Luiz. Kadan would only get subbed on if one of those subs got hurt and we had no one else to replace. Even if they got sent off he probably wouldn't come on to replace we'd just change formation. Sinasalo comes on if Olsen gets hurt or sent off. And we'd need him to come on. Whereas with young we could just make a change in formation or tactics to compensate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be fair Sinisalo trains and probably travels with the first team to every match, therefore it’s a nice gesture to include him on the bench .

Assuming Traore and Carlos get back before the 5th of March game. Then we'd be at zero injuries so 3/4 injuries would leave us still with 5 outfield players on the bench which is as many as we can use for subs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steero113 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Leicester fans are over the moon that they are playing a 4-3-3 and happy with the personnel. They have gone full on all out attack here. Can see Kamara absolutely destroying Dewsbury-Hall in the middle of the park, they look extra light and we will overload that area. 3-1.

But we're in the position of watching an elite coach doing whatever he thinks is right, over the polar opposite which we've all become accustomed. 3 keepers on the bench this weekend? Sure thing. In other news... I'm not the biggest fan of Digne but it looks a smart move to show he's still in Don Unai's plans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Firstly, who in the comms team thought it was a good idea to let their nursery kid provide the music here? Second, watch at ten seconds. Duran almost goes into the wrong dressing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've got no problem with Digne playing or moreno being "dropped" bit of squad management, how it should be, Targett left because he didn't have a cat in hells chance of competing with Digne, it was a closed shop, emery knows better And that's even before factoring in moreno having any kind of a slight knock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'm not terribly bothered by the extra keeper. But for those that are... has Emery done this before at previous, inferior clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I wonder if the 2 keeper thing is cos Unai doesn’t trust Olsen any more but also doesn’t want for him to suffer the ignominy of being relegated to 3rd choice formally 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
