Guest LCFC_World Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 Hi all, I was just wondering does anyone know what kind of football Ranieri plays? Attacking? Possession? Also, what formation does he play? Once we know this we can start predicting the team sheet again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Walsh5 Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 God knows, he's called the tinkerman so it could be quite a few formations in a game. We won't be as attacking and attack with pace as much as we have previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 From a bit of quick background reading, looks like it will definitely be four at the back, then could be anything but I bet he starts with 4-2-3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shailen Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 He doesn't have a set one. I've seen him chop and change constantly. I hope he keeps the spine of the team we have here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 I imagine we'll look to bring in a right back and perhaps a centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he keeps the spine of the team we have here.If we want to move onwards and upwards I'm not sure how many shouldn't be replaced over the next 12 months. If we aspire to top 8 then we've only really got :Schmeichel Huth James has potential Mahrez Albrighton can do a job Schlupp if he continues to progress on the left Fuchs (?) Hard to know with the strikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSoxUK Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 Ranieri favours a 4-4-2, and has used this formation throughout his managerial career tinkering time to time, game to game, and during the game as commonly known. He played a 4-4-2 / 4-5-1 most of the time at Monaco, sometimes a 4-1-2-1-2. Labelled 'defensive' by Sneijder at Inter Milan where he played 4-4-2 mostly and was criticised at for not being more creative with his wide players. And At Roma he had a 4-3-1-2 formation which had them on a big winning streak. Against big (better) teams, he prefers a robust 4-4-2 and again tinkers with that formation based on the goings of the game, often changing to a diamond 4-1-2-1-2 when the midfield becomes overrun. - Knowing this, can we assume that the most likely formation Ranieri will use at Leicester is the 4-4-2 / 4-1-2-1-2 - and knowing how the Premier League has developed since the last time Ranieri was here with Chelsea, he must surely be aware of the almost complete rejection of the 4-4-2 system bar Manchester City - could we see our Leicester lining up as a 4-1-2-1-2 outfit? Does this limit Jeffrey Schlupp and favour Fuchs at left back? will we need a new RB? Would Kante work with this formation as the holding midfielder, or would the freedom in this position allow Cambiasso (if signed) to work his magic? Is the 3-4-3 / 3-4-1-2 dead?

Happy Fox Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 I think Schlupp will be used as a Left Winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxUK Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 Noo not 4 at the back Looks to be most likely. Fuchs - Huth - Morgan - DeLaet Hope Wasil has a stellar pre-season and can get in at CB with Huth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 It would've been interesting to see us play 3 at the back from the start of this upcoming season. Now we'll almost certainly we'll return to a back 4 which I don't have an issue with, but it will require a new right-back. I assume Fuchs was brought in to play as LWB as part of a back 5 so if we revert to 4, how strong will he be? Most comments seem to highlight his attacking ability rather than his defensive duties. Looks like the Tinkerman will be doing a lot of tinkering indeed. Though I do think long-term a flat back 4 was the more realistic option, even given our remarkable run in the last 9 games.

Col city fan Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 I'm not adverse to changing tactics during a game to gain an advantage. I just hope the players understand them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 One worry is that regardless of the astute tactical brain Ranieri has, he has to trust the players have the intelligence to take his methods on board and also be adaptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSoxUK Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 I'm not adverse to changing tactics during a game to gain an advantage. I just hope the players understand them! I think the most important training the players can do under Ranieri is understanding the game, and learning a variety of systems - intricate and simple. I feel as if Schlupp may opt-out of these lessons. No but seriously, this can only expand the players footballing brains, and hopefully Cambiasso if he stays on can help the rest learn Ranieri's ways having worked under him before.

Some of our players don't seem the brightest! Imperative now that we retain Cambiasso. He's clearly intelligent and would help some of the others to cope with the Tinker Man's tinkering. So to speak. Edit... just what Red Sox just wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if the owners and their advisers went after Ranieri due to Cambiasso referral / experience playing under him, perhaps as an incentive to sign him up and maybe a path into coaching if Ranieri survives the year. I havn't looked / seen any info on Cambiasso/Ranieri relations, so i'm unsure if they get on, like each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 13 July 2015 Share Posted 13 July 2015 Italians aren't scared of playing of 3 at the back generally so may continue with this. If we play anything else we need a new right back. Two sitting midfielders will be quite common. Cant see 2 out and out strikers. Considered starting a new thread for this but could probably go in here. How do we think the players will adapt? Which players could flourish or struggle? I can see Andy king continuing to be me reliable, sitting in midfield quite nicely. Huth shouldn't have any problems, Danny drinkwater to improve? As for struggles, everyone is under threat but particularly wes Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
