Nigel persons escape plan 3-5-2?

[KingKante]

Before we had the freak of nature in Kante we had to use a different system. This was Nigel's relegation escaping 3-5-2 which worked wonders in the last 9 games. It was attacking, entertaining and solid. With the players bought it I can't help but think we would suit that system to a T. Being as 4-4-2 without Kante just doesn't work.... 

[cityfanlee23]

I agree, Mahrez has massively improved his work rate tracking back aswell. Ranieri has also used 3-5-2 all over europe, he knows the system, makes you wonder whether he thinks it can work in this league though, much has changes since survival and everyone is much stronger than they were 2 years ago.

Do we really need 15 threads which all talk about the same thing?

[Fox92]

Only problem with that is we've too many attackers... Slimani, Vardy, Musa, Okazaki, Gray, Albrighton, Mahrez, Kapuska... Where are they fitting in?

Maybe we should have 352 threads? Or 442 or maybe even 451?

[lcfcben76]

Can definitely see it,

.               Kasper

        Huth Morgan Hernandez

.         Mendy/amartey drinky

albrighton     Mahrez.     Chilwell/fuchs

                Slimani   Vardy

That's not the only problem. 

 

We we only have one central midfielder that is good enough (Mendy aside due to injury - but the jury is out with him also maybe), plus we now don't have s right back.

 

I am very pro the Thais and Ranieri,  however these areas have been badly overlooked. I understand NZonzi backed out at the last minute and the strange 'Silva matter' but the season finished in May not August 30th. There was ample time to get players in - even after Kante left, and we are no doubt now on the back foot, from what should have been a position of strength.

I don't understand why, with all the games we have this season, we've got rid of both right full backs in De Laet and Moore. Simpson is now injured so we've got a center back at full back. The only other options are Wasyl (another aging center back) and Benny (is he registered??) ... Seriously don't know why we haven't invested in the defence.

[Guest CityFan 06]

I think both formations 4-3-3 and 3-5-2, could give Albrighton the chance to return to RM, with Mahrez trialling out a more central role. Albrighton was excellent for us when he came into the right wide position and it would mean he wouldn't have to keep checking back inside.

 

The second side to it though, Fuchs and Albrighton are very good down that left side having formed an understanding for a while now. But, I still can't help but think Albirghton could be even more effective at RM.

                                           Vardy

                                      

 

 

Don't like 3-5-2 but that's actually pure filth

 

[lcfcben76]

It's a formation which I think works really well if you get it right, I reckon we could pull it off. Would love to see chilwell in a left wing back position think it would really benefit him and he would provide good attacking threat and crosses too

Dont you mean Cambiasso's escape plan

[Bluetintedspecs]

I'm going to start a thread titled Kneejerk; then this and the other 300 that have appeared since yesterday can be amalgamated in one large negative shitstorm.

Why is it 'pure filth'? 

 

Mahrez won't defend on that side. If anything it needs to be Albrighton there and Mahrez more central.

It wasn't the result - I can accept losing - but again the performance was shite. I'll say when we are good, I'll say when we are bad. 

[ian_marshall]

I'd like to see us try a 4-2-3-1, with Drinky and Mendy sat in front of the back 4, Kingy or Okazaki sat in front of the central midfield 2, and then depending on the opposition, if we want an attacking emphasis Mahrez right, Gray left, or if we need to protect the full backs Albrighton right, Schlupp left.

Sorry, was I specifically talking to you? 

I used the phrase negative shitstorm , so I can see where you got drawn in 

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

One thing I definitely think is that Albrighton was better on the right under Np than he has been on the left. He does a reasonable job on left but is only there to accommodate Mahrez on the right really. 

 

He made so many more chances from the right and he really could get decent crosses in rather than predictably having to turn on to his right foot when playing on the left. 

Think he'll benefit from going back on the right and also so will likes of Slimani in the air

We can talk about it all day and night on here, but nobody knows better than the Don.

You might not have been talking to me but you seem to come across as we can't criticize. We were diabolic yesterday, they deserve all the criticism for such a poor performance.

[Wymsey]

Like Kante, Pearson has gone and can't dwell on missing him.

 

Ranieri is not daft but I think he's trying to accommodate certain players in midfield (the unfixed area) more than anything else. It may take some time.

You mean the side he's played on for 2 years?

[dylanlegend]

We certainly have the players for it, I also think the 4-2-3-1 would suit us with the players we have maybe away from home:

 

Kasper

 

Simpson

Morgan

Huth

Fuchs

 

Drinkwater

Mendy

 

Musa

Mahrez

Schlupp

 

Vardy

Not in a 352.

 

We played it under Nigel both wing backs would defend.... Albrighton was on the right.... That's my point.
