Drygon Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 As the title says, what's your opinion about that? Personally, I really hope Ranieri does so. Hopefully, the 4-0 victory against Manchester City put the criticism on 4-4-2 into the grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfanlee23 Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 It's viable IF the players play with todays effort, if they don't it's a waste of time. Still think we need to try other formations, and would love to see King infront of a midfield 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 With Drinkwater and possibly Kasper back for the Bournemouth game I'd stick with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeGuy Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 NO. Even knowing Leicester counter attack's based game, Guardiola showed an incredible arrogance by high line defending and only 3 defenders. He didn't respect Leicester and took the victory for granted no matter what. He played right in our hands. Without taking his merit away, there is no tactical genius from Ranieri here, same formation, same players since forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 Sometimes. 433 away from home for me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes_rule1978 Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 With that energy it works, hopefully we can bring that to every game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinneyHillRanger Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 No way.... Guardiola played right into our hands .... But ranieri doesn't like 3 in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 It's a system that won us the title. However, we should play the system that best fits our players or works well against out opponents. Fantastic result tonight, a key being that we got in front early. Compare this to the West Brom game when we were behind. Some teams will deliberately counter our system so sometimes we need to change. If Ndidi arrives in Jan it may help a lot with 4-4-2 which would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes_rule1978 Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 Ranieri gets paid millions to know what needs to be done, it proved right today because the players all gave it 100%, that is the most important thing in any system. Our defending and finishing was miles ahead of what it had been today, when it clicks we play some of the best football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 Not sure. It seems to be the only thing Ranieri knows and, as we've seen, it doesn't always work. Tonight, the Mancs were there for the taking and the formation worked. But it won't always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, we should be playing formation and tactics to suit the opposition, 4-4-2 is ok for certain games, but not others, as we have found out.

Richard Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 We need to adaptable. As someone said above Man City's tactics couldn't have been more suited to us Still think a 451/433 away from home will be needed in away games, which is now an option with James, Mendy and Drinkwater coming back in we finally have options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see 4-4-2 working away from home at places like Bournemouth and Stoke who we have next. Matt Elliott said on the radio he'd drop Amartey and bring Drinkwater back in for the next match, that's simply the wrong choice. King and Drinkwater has never worked properly and you need someone doing the defensive work in a 4-4-2 which Amartey at least tries to do, but away from home looks much less convincing at it.

Agree, amartey carried that midfield today, played that well, he shouldn't be dropped, and if he can play like that with drinkwater, it will free Danny up to push forward and link up with the forwards more.
