sacreblueits442 Posted 24 January 2017 Share Posted 24 January 2017 Ok! This thread is winding me up. Claudio going back to 442 is to be celebrated. Take a look at the various formations suggested and you can understand why Claudio is chopping and changing. There is nothing wrong with 442, we just need readjust to what our opponents have done to negate our attacks. Vardy needs to drop off and not play on the shoulder of the defence, Mahrez needs to release the ball earlier or hold up for over lapping full back. This constant derision of Vardy is unbelievable as he gets poor or no supply and it is he I feel sorry for. Our main problem is Claudio's constant "narrow" style which gives no cover to our defence especially the fullbacks. This pulls Wes or Huth out to give cover which creates spaces for the other team. It seems that with every formation Claudio chooses we are always "narrow" which has caused mayhem and the result being the defence being viewed as a disaster when in fact they do not get the protection they should. Nothing wrong with 442, just Claudio's way of playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jet-plane Posted 24 January 2017 Share Posted 24 January 2017 Anything less than reverting to the title winning tried and trust selection and formation will be a shock. These players have pride, and are sick and tired of being embarrassed week after week. They will demand that they have a formation in which they can properly channel their efforts and Ranieri would be mad to resist. From his Southampton post match interviews you could see his desperation to find a solution, and it's there staring him in the face. Mendy/Ndidi to replace Kante will be the only change from established title winning line-up. The rest, (despite frustrated comments on here), are still proper players if they are given roles they know and that are suited to them. City are 15/8 on Betfair. Be brave, go big, enjoy the weekend.

Benguin Posted 24 January 2017 Share Posted 24 January 2017 Must win for me. A good cup run will fix what has been a pretty disappointing season. I'd go for this: Kasper Simpson Benny Huth Chilwell Albrighton Ndidi King Gray Okazaki Ulloa Vardy, Drinkwater and Morgan all need to be benched until they look like they give a sh!t.

Aus Fox Posted 24 January 2017 Share Posted 24 January 2017 442 will spank them: Simpson Benalouane Huth Chilwell Mahrez (if back and fit) Ndidi Drinkwater Albrighton Okazaki Vardy Give the Cabbage a run around for at least 30. 4-1 win Vardy (2) Ndidi and Huth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never been asked to! Both Vardy a nd Mahrez are too predictable in their play. They clearly need to mix up their play and that is a failure of their coaches as well as Claudio. Players need to evolve as certain situations do not always present themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to start him on Friday. If however, we have another CB lined up to come in, then perhaps sticking with Morgan would be better as gives him a chance to get some confidence back and Benny who hasn't started a game in god knows how long, could be even more off the pace than Morgan. The rest of the team and formation is exactly what I would go for though. Maybe Gray for Mahrez unless Mahrez is raring to go again. Gets us back to the absolute basics and 90% of the line-up that served us so well last season. Will be 0 excuses or formation/system blame from the players if they again put in a crap performance, p.s I would play with a keeper though. Kasper my choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is about time they showed us this is anything like the truth. We have a massive game at Burnley next week. A game we simply cannot afford to lose and a game hugely more important than this one. I would fully expect a weakened team. Ranieri is desperate because he doesn't know what to do.

He was great at Everton, winning us the game and one of the better players v Chelsea. He deserves a start more than Vardy imo. Ive seen enough of Musa this season to know he's nowhere near up to it at this level. As for your comment about Vardy, it's just baffling. Vardy is a good player and we are leaving him isolated week after week with the various ridiculous team selections and formations. He proved himself last season. Should be our main striker but needs help . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
