Tactical Changes

[luckyalex13]

So, I am interested in what peoples thoughts are on what the tactical changes have been since Ranieri left have been.

 

I feel that one of the main changes is that we have gone back to pressing higher up the pitch rather than the midfield dropping deep to try and cover the loss of N'Golo,

Well we aren't punting it long as much for starters, there are still some aimless balls, but we've definitely attempted to play it on the floor a bit more.

[foxy boxing]

Clearly pressing more!, obviously going back to what worked for us last season with the same players plus Ndidi. obviously not tinkering too much from that blueprint. at some point Shakes will have to come up with more than same old same old and the question is can he do it whereas Claudio couldn't!

[onekeithweller]

Putting the ball in the net.

[ARTY_FOX]

Also attacking in packs again. Giving more space to players such as Mahrez 

[TrentFox]

Trying? 

[CUJimmy]

Full backs narrower leaving less room in the channels so forcing sides to attack from out wide.  Our success from Feb onwards last year was built on being really hard to score against.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

One-touch passing and movement, actually attacking, pressing from the front, players playing close together to have options for one-twos etc

[foxinsocks]

Shinji is key.... for presing and by runnibg towards a cm in posession so thay  can play it through  . .. he the flicks it to mahrex vardy or albrighton

 

Ndidi looks solid enough fir drink to press forward

 

Fuchs is better..  no idea why 

[Sammy]

Defenders are passing back to Kasper far less, small change and could be partly down to confidence but it's made a big difference in how useful we are when we have the ball

[Guest MattP]

The one touch passing has been a joy to watch at times, the first goal against Hull was delightful. We seem to want to get the ball forward quicker on the floor, the high press also sees the opposition defence want to defend higher which gives more space for Vardy to run into.

 

There seems to be an intention rather than a hope to get the ball into the opposition box when we go forward and try to create chances, Mahrez, Albrighton and Vardy all want to get further forward.

 

When I remember that 0-0 at Middlesborough now I want to cry, we had this squad of players and went to argubly the worst side in the league and shut up shop for a draw.

And that was our best performance of 2017 in the league...

I really don't think its down to effort, I think its about understanding their roles and being happy with them.

 

[stevelcfc]

The difference in the Albrighton and Fuchs under CR and now under CS, is huge.

[Guest]

No tactic changes, they are just told to get into em and eff em up

[lgfualol]

No longer using Huth and Morgan as playmakers. I've seen Simpson and Fuchs going forward more. Flood the opposition's box more, we see Drinkwater and Albrighton rushing in rather than sitting at the half way line ready to defend. 

 

 

[yorkie1999]

Playing Pearson's team with the addition of Ndidi replacing Kante, and using the greatest escape philosophy of you've got no choice other than to stick the ball in the back of the net more times than the opposition.

[Daz93]

Winning the second balls has been the biggest thing I've noticed. We still play long, but it's not aimlessly long to a lone man up front. The midfield are pushing up to support, and we're picking up the pieces from the knock-ons/defensive headers. It means instead of the ball coming straight back at us and putting us under pressure, we keep the ball in the opposition half a lot more.

[Guest Bob Hazels shorts]

Performing with more passion and vigor as noticeably more happy as simple as that.

 

What was right about them performing heroics over the past 2 or so seasons was taken away, altered or diminished - all all? this season.

 

Being pot less is shiity and extra money is great when you already are wealthy but it doesn't create the same happiness witnessed last season.

[Thracian]

Hungry players is the biggest difference. Just one packet of crisps each since Shaky took over - if they were quick enough to nick em off the seats - means they're all lean as gazelles and sharp as razors.

[Milo]

Couple of changes are pretty clear - I assume Fuchs and Simpson were told not to cross the halfway line under CR...Fuchs especially has been much more adventurous in the last 4 games. Huth and Wes don't hoof it at every opportunity and we therefore have the midfield involved in the game.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm not Shinji's biggest fan (I know, I know...) I'd love to see a Knockaert - type player in that role.

Yeah I reckon we'd be able to get Antony if we wanted him 

[sdb]

I think the biggest tactical change is that the tactics have been communicated to those that need to carry it out. I honestly think we went 2-3 months with our players unsure of how they were supposed to be playing.

Suspect this is what was peeing him off about CR. been so obvious over the three PL games. 

[Ric Flair]

The importance of Albrighton in these last 4 games has been extraordinary. This is a player that isn't blessed with technical ability or what you'd call a game changer but he's been integral to so much of what we're good at. You could say the same for Vardy, Fuchs, Simpson, Drinkwater, Ndidi, Shinji, Mahrez and the rest but it is astounding what Albrighton has done these last 4 games.
