Tielemans

He needs to go , he is becoming the story and it is a circus.
The club needs him to go to generate funds
The issue is Tielemans is not that good , judging by the interest many also
think that way
He has no pace ,is careless when tackling and unless he drops his ambitions he
probably ain’t going anywhere soon.

If he drops his ambitions he’ll be looking at teams and players not up to the standard we have at lcfc.
 
I don't think Rodgers would have any hesitation in dropping Tielemans if his attitude was a problem - see Soumare, for example. But Rodgers is on record saying that he continually picks Tielemans because his attitude and professionalism are exemplary. I know he had a poor season last year by his standards, but maybe it wasn't his attitude that was the problem?

If Tielemans is still with us this season, he'll be a regular starter irrespective of whether he's signed a new contract or not.
Actually what he said was Tielemans is a player who doesn’t benefit from not playing. That doesn’t show a team player attitude to me - he is part of a squad. I’m sure at a team with more better players he’d get used to not playing every game and have to work harder to get a place.

This is the quote I was referring to:

“For me, he’s still the same guy, his professionalism is first class. That’s why I always play him. He makes passes in the team that not many can make. He fights for the team and that’s the type of person he is. He’s maybe not played to the top of his level sometimes but his commitment, his training every day, and his preparation shows he’s a top-class professional.”

Those funds generated will be spent on replacing him and will probably cost more than we get for him.
If he signs a years extension we have a great player already part of the squad who will give his all to get 'bigger' teams showing an interest again.
We'll also have Ndidi back (hopefully the one from 2020/21 not 2021/22) so Tielemans can revert to being an attacking midfielder.

I think we underestimate how much Ndidi playing (well) at CDM affects the midfield - not least because it frees up Tielemans but also breaks up oppo attacks before it gets harum scarum.
 
As far as I am concerned if he is still being used in a defensive role nothing will change
The proliferation of attacking midfielders is a cause for concern as to who you drop or what plans he has for this campaign, Tielimens strength in attacking seeking out space is paramount to our forward movement, but this is up to Brendan to sort out, as I feel Youri's role in whatever capacity needs careful thought

YT only played as DMF in certain circumstances and is a playmaker by trade.
Needing the game in front of him he will sit a bit deep, that's all.
