weller54 Posted 15 March 2017 Share Posted 15 March 2017 Tiredness after last night is my fear.. So much effort and energy used I would imagine. We need something from this game. 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacamion Posted 15 March 2017 Share Posted 15 March 2017 There should be a bit of rotation, they can't play at that intensity every single game. Give Ulloa, King, Chilwell etc a look in. I think we'll lose, but it won't be the end of the world, even if posts in here suggest that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play them all again on Saturday, change it during the game if required, not before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyJones Posted 15 March 2017 Share Posted 15 March 2017 No footballer feels tired when you are winning. No extra time, played on a Tuesday, these guys are super fit, shouldn't be a problem. West Ham will definitely have a go and we will come under plenty of pressure. But with the defence playing with more suthority, the team suddenly scoring goals, hopeful of repeating last years 2-1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 15 March 2017 Share Posted 15 March 2017 He won't make changes but I wouldn't mind seeing Slim and Gray play if some players are not 100%. They put in a crazy amount of effort last night. Anyone see that Vardy has played as a number 10 when Slim has been on the pitch? It was the other way around with Ranieri and maybe that is something Shakespeare didn't agree with (and rightfully so imo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 15 March 2017 Share Posted 15 March 2017 Very excited, first away day at a new ground. No reason why we can't go there and grab an early goal. Same team again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted 15 March 2017 Share Posted 15 March 2017 Hopefully they're still on Bournemouth beach. Looked hapless at the back in their last game, if we keep the intensity up we'll cause them problems. Score draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 15 March 2017 Share Posted 15 March 2017 Our away form has been abysmal and last nights game is likely to have taken it's toll both physically and mentally. However, everyone at the club will be on a real high and even if we rotate, you'd think that the players coming in will be eager to show what they can do. Hopefully we see another performance like the last 3 games. We could still lose, but if we match the intensity I'll be happy and I think ultimately it will keep us in the division.

Thought it was weird as you'd expect Slim to be deeper for flick ons, but I guess we wanted Vardy to do the harrying of the defence that Shinji does in that role?

Thracian Posted 15 March 2017 Share Posted 15 March 2017 Tiredness is as much mental as physical which is why it's important to balance rest periods. But make no mistake, no-one who played last night will want to be dropped from Saturday's team. When you're winning you don't want to stop. So today will doubtless be a rest day - for body, mind and to get over any knocks that will have stiffened up overnight. Come Thursday and it will be all about getting fully focused on the game plan for West Ham and the tactics and attitudes needed to maintain our momentum. It'll be frustrating for the fringe players because, like last season, week-in, week out, there will likely be no vacancies. But those fringe guys will understand that. What they wouldn't have understood in Ranieri days was being on the sidelines when the team and individuals in their position weren't playing well, weren't scoring goals, weren't preventing goals, weren't having shots and weren't winning points. It makes for a bad atmosphere all round and for all sorts of reasons that get ever more challenging the longer the problems persist, Shakespeare's got a kind of managerial utopia right now. A team he trusts that's scoring goals, winning games and full of the confidence that comes with knowing exactly what the game plan is and believing in the ability of team-mates around them to carry it out...as he does. what the clever fringe player will be doing is keeping super fit, working on weaknesses, listening to the battle plans and being quietly determined to fit in and compliment those plans the moment they get the opportunity. It might not come for weeks but when a chance does arise it needs to be taken. But, believe me, once you're in a team like ours - a team that's shown itself capable of taking on anyone - you don't want to lose your place. All sportsmen have the same problem of being drained by the game or tournament they've just played but needing to rest, recover and refocus in time for the next one. It's the ones who aren't drained you need to feel sorry for - and who really have the problems. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long term neither can Vardy really, but for now he's useful in that position because he gives us the same workrate & intensity as Shinji. Next season hopefully Vardy/Slimani will be competing at CF and neither are required to play number 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
