Izzy Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 23 minutes ago, Sir Shep said: I suppose the question I have to ask, can we play Vardy, Oki and Nacho in the same team? Gray and Slim may also deserve to play as well. 442 needs to go! And Mahrez... I was going to post something similar. If only Shakey could find a way to accommodate them all and get the best out of them all together. Fvck it. Let's go balls out with a 3-1-6 formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okazaki performance almost certainly means him and Vardy up front. Liverpool are perfect for Okazaki, try and play the ball but often lose it. Gray and Mahrez should start, I know we run the risk of being over ran in a 4-4-2 but Gray offers so much more on the counter attack and right now Albrighton is in horrible form.

Still makes some dodgy decisions but he's young and imho is starting to show he can be more of a team player. Agreed, he had a strong game and defensively was better than Albrighton on top of looking like a handful going forwards. Work needs to be done on the training ground this week on the positioning side against a fluid front three because any combination of Firminho, Coutinho, Salah and Mane is tough to contain.

That's where I'll stop though, because despite his blistering pace and obvious ability on the ball, he has his head down and tries to do everything himself. Slimani actually made some good runs or opened up space nicely for Gray, but my word does he stuggle when he reaches the final third of the pitch. 18 minutes ago, Eagle10 said: I don't think Slimani struggles to hold the ball, quite the contrary. The ball didn't even reach him before Okazaki came on, that is why Leicester was playing so poorly. Dude, Slimani was atrocious with the ball. I counted about a dozen times when he would receive the ball to feet, at chest height or even at head height and he would lose it every single time. Granted, he didn't get much support, but the whole point of a big man up front is so he can use his physique to hold up the ball and lay it off once his teammates have come up the pitch. It's a recurring thing with Slimani. Despite his big frame, he's deceivingly average as a classic target man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 Still can't work out first half. Where was Amartey playing? Seriously, he was holding hands with Wes practically throughout that half. Were we supposed to be 3 at the back and Chilwell/Albrighton weren't getting the balance as WBs right or was he just constantly out of position?

ajthefox Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 Absolute fluke, how we've won that I do not know but I love beating Liverpool and this one will really grate on them no doubt. First half was absolutely dire and the second wasn't that good it just wasn't shit. Liverpool were playing predominantly teenagers and it took an injury/forced sub to win. Only players coming out of tonight with any credit are Shinji, Dragovic and Wes. Gray was ok and Hamer did nothing wrong but the rest were dross.

He can hold the ball, and link up most of the times. Today before Okazaki he wasn't doing neither mainly because the team had 25% possession or so, Liverpool was controlling the game, and Leicester was only hoofing the ball. Yes you just hit the nail on the head we were just hoofing, So we needed someone to hold the ball up. You are totally contradicting yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dames Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 Liverpool should have been out of sight by half time. Much improved second half when forced into the change. We need to build some momentum from this as the team looked very short of composure and confidence in that first half. Hopefully Shakespeare learns from this in regards to timing of subs as well as the actual personnel. Also Ulloa shouldn't play for the club again, he has nothing left to offer at this level and offering him improved terms on his 40k pw contract is nothing short of finanical negligence.

It looked like we set up as 5-3-2 when defending with Amartey and Gray taking up wingback positions, Chilwell tucking in next to Dragovic and Albrighton helping out in the middle. Very odd formation.

Babylon Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 2 minutes ago, NotTheMarketLeader said: The point being he didn't wilfully I'll make the substitution that turned the game. The Ulloa injury forced the change,up to that point his mind seemed to be a vacuum in terms of altering what was totally shocking. He chose to put Okazaki on, Wes intimated the players followed his half time instructions. The substitution could have been one minute away for all we know.

People can't lump all the blame on him and then absolve him of doing anything decent when things go well. Yes I can he choose the side and that first half was a massive mistake by the manager, it took an injury in the second half for him to Change it, plus it's a change 98% of fans would have made it wasn't genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbon Fox Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 I'm sick of Gray. He's had 'potential' for ages but he delivers no product. He's never got his head up, never delivers the killer pass, he can't shoot and he's mardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlloverthefloorYesNdidi Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 1 minute ago, Babylon said: He chose the player to come on ffs and you have no idea if that sub was 1 minute or 20 minutes from happening. We weren't going to go on much longer without changing. If you are going to completely discount every win under him or any sub that works out or any decent performance, which most seem to with their selective stats, then yeah he's proved nothing. Moan about the original selection, but trying to take all credit off him second half is just more BS. Are you saying Ulloa didnt come off injured or what? I'm not moaning about this win or taking credit from him. Feel really good we won Not overly critical of him. We did get lucky and the change was forced, thats all i'm saying. I still have no big opinion either way on Shakespeare. Happy to see how it goes. Have gotten over Arsenal now, which was the only thing that really wound me up. But it was his first match in a high pressure situation. Pleased for the win tonight anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr The Singh Posted 19 September 2017 Share Posted 19 September 2017 We should have been out of it in the first half, but I give some credit for the second half, we couldn't be any worse and we took 2 of our chances Saturday were gonna get raped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very positive and that early cross to Slimani near the end was inches off being a ridiculous goal. Much better and considering how shit Albrighton is right now, it's a no brainier he starts on saturday for me. He needs a run of games and the confidence that we have faith in him. He could be unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to be negative but I don’t think he would have made that sub of his own accord in time for us to win that well... Liverpool shocking... no tempo without Salah/Mane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
