GeorgeTheFox Posted 22 February 2017 Share Posted 22 February 2017 Does anyone think Ndidi could do a job further forward? I know he naturally seems more suited to a deeper role but when he drives forwards he reminds me of Yaya Toure sometimes. Probably a silly suggestion but regardless he seems like a great find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livid Posted 23 February 2017 Share Posted 23 February 2017 We have to pack our midfield, just to try and keep the pressure off our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merging Cultures Posted 23 February 2017 Share Posted 23 February 2017 Let's not kid ourselves, it will be; KS Fuchs Morgan (c) Huth Simpson Albrighton Drinkwater Ndidi Mahrez Musa Vardy Which I won't mind IF they press and attack the ball, like they did in the second half against Seville. But if they sit back and invite pressure, then the back four will struggle again. We have stopped defending from the front. We used to force the opposition to make errors high up the pitch and then we'd attack. But now, we let them get into our half and pressure the defence. It isn't the loss of Kante that is exposing our back line, it's the fact that we are not working as a team. Musa might have not played well recently, but because he was the only one on the bench to celebrate Vardy's goal, I say we start to build a team ethic around players like him who want the TEAM to win.

desertfox2 Posted 23 February 2017 Share Posted 23 February 2017 They are a bit weak at set pieces and conceded to a lot of headers. Slim or Ulloa would cause their defense a lot of problems. Providing we don't do the usual ankle crosses to our best players in the air and lob balls to Vardy tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrefelderFox666 Posted 23 February 2017 Share Posted 23 February 2017 Remember when Ranieri said he has been let down by some players and changes will be made...yes about that. No changes yesterday. If we stay the same we are on the end of another dismal performance and loss. I would like to see some positive change: Schmeichel Amartey Huth Benalouane Chilwell/Fuchs Gray King/Drinkwater Ndidi Mahrez/Kapustka Slimani (we need him fit) Vardy We need to give players a chance who have earned it, Kapustka and Gray should be starting based on the effort and performances so far.

On the whole I agree, but I am not sure about Kapustka, his performances haven't been exactly amazing even against poor competition. Same for Benny, he has done well, against poor competition. The bar is so low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleFox Posted 23 February 2017 Share Posted 23 February 2017 My favourite bit of Foxestalk, the chance to re-live my Champ Manager days and make a little formation. I thought the team once Gray came on looked good and it is clear we need a little more pace in defence so I would go for.... Schmeichel Simpson Amartey Morgan Chilwell Mahrez Drinkwater Ndidi Albrighton Gray Vardy Still think, no matter what a lot of people say, we do need someone high energy, with high work rate on the pitch so for me either Okazaki or Albrighton need to start but we looked better last night once Gray came on and Albrighton and Mahrez were both still on the pitch. Not 100% sure quite what formation we played but Mahrez does look better on the right and Gray tends to float in from the left so a fluid-ish 451 with Mahrez, Gray, etc rotating to support Vardy seems pretty good and at least Albrighton can do the dirty work and offer Chilwell protection. I think we need Amartey on the pitch in defence and in the centre rather than at right back as it seems obvious that a lot of our problems come from the back. For all his faults I think Simpson is a solid right back and that the central pairing needs changing more urgently. Och well, we will see. Hopefully we can just manage to stay up this season as I still think we have a decent squad that will only get better as a lot of the players are still young. Come on you Foxes!

mozartfox Posted 23 February 2017 Share Posted 23 February 2017 We cannot play Huth and Morgan together. It no longer works. If CR cannot see that, I suggest a change of glasses is needed. Drop Morgan for sure and make Casper Captain. Play Chilwell and Benny and keep Simpson. Gray and Kapi for Musa and Allbrighton.

M0901 Posted 23 February 2017 Share Posted 23 February 2017 This game should be treated like the Man U home match in 2014 Go for broke, outscore the opposition. Kasper Simmo Wes Benny Chilwell Ndidi Amartey Drinky Gray Vardy Mahrez Give the front a free inter-changing role, the midfield 3 to provide decent cover This is against a fragile Liverpool side, may as well just throw the kitchen sink at them.

leicesterlad1989 Posted 23 February 2017 Share Posted 23 February 2017 Formation and personnel count for nothing if we do not get out tactics right. Ranieri needs to decide whether we are a pressing team or a team that will seat deep to soak up the pressure, not a bit of both. This lack of identity has been the story of our season. Personally I believe we should press and cause them to make mistakes. It's no secret that our back four is weak so we really need to create some chances for our attackers, hopefully similar to the Man City home game.

norwichfox Posted 23 February 2017 Share Posted 23 February 2017 Now Vardy has found the back of the net, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see him benched or dropped for the Liverpool game with sick note Groinami heading up the attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
