The whole situation with regard to the way they play, the team selection process is all a bit mystifying. You really need to know what goes on at Seagrave during the week to even begin to understand it.
How Amartey gets above Soyuncu and Vestergaard in the pecking order is beyond me. Nothing against Daniel, bless him; he’s not lacking in height, athleticism or endeavour, but as Martin Keown made clear on Saturday, he’s not a natural central defender.
Dennis Praet: obviously not part of Rodgers’ preferred options; not sure why. Clearly a talented player, regular Belgian international and has shown up really well in pre season. Still can’t get a game. ???
Barnes: very talented but most of the time when he receives the ball, it’s behind him rather than giving him something to run on to. You only had to watch Maximin against Kyle Walker (no slouch) to see what havoc gets caused when that happens.
Ayoze: if he gets to play, it’s on the right, which doesn’t really suit him or the team. Not sure why we don’t give him a go up front alongside Vardy instead of Iheanacho or Daka.
Tielemans: brilliant to begin with but not at it at the moment. Asked to play a lot deeper during Ndidi’s absence last year, so fair enough, but that’s not the case now. Is this a repeat of what happened with him at Monaco?
Perhaps if we could see what goes on in training we might be a lot wiser!
Has Rodgers Gone?
