Wymsey Posted 30 October 2017 Share Posted 30 October 2017 Feel as if there are too many "Fearless" slogans going around the club before this tbh. Yes, they're brave going into Stoke-on-Trent.., but don't know how this would improve the atmosphere etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza M Posted 30 October 2017 Share Posted 30 October 2017 I am hoping that Puel may adopt some flexibility to how we set up, depending on the opposition, just so we aren't so predictable each week. I have a feeling it won't be 4-1-1 ala Claudio and Shakey, not sure it will be the same set up as yesterday either to be honest, just so we are more compact, using pace on the break, but also having possession and not hoof and run. I do think that Gray, Chilwell and Mahrez will start however. Maybe, dare I say it, 3-4-3! GK: Kasper DC: Dragovic DC: Morgan DC: Maguire ML: Chilwell MC: Iborra MC: Ndidi MR: Albrighton AML: Gray AMR: Mahrez ST: Vardy Subs: Hamer, Simpson, King, Fuchs, Okazaki, Slimani, Iheanacho.

Loves2spooge Posted 31 October 2017 Share Posted 31 October 2017 Let's play the same formation as last time but at the 60' mark , Get Gray/Mahrez out and Put Okazaki then Slimani for Vardy We will play more defensive while having two upfront ready to strike a goal , Okazaki with his speed and Slimani with his head so we would have a 1st half (Attacking full force with Vardy , Mahrez & Gray upfront) 2nd half deffensive play while still able to attack with a complete different front (Shinji , Slim & Mahrez/gray) Because what I noticed last time is that Everton was pressing upfront , but they left enough players in the back to Counter Vardy so I suggest we don't leave the opponent any chance of countering the strikers especially since we have a bunch of them and they all play differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 31 October 2017 Share Posted 31 October 2017 We’re such a streaky club, we have long spells of either being fantastic or completely wank - there’s little in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozleicester Posted 31 October 2017 Share Posted 31 October 2017 The same team ....except....Im a big Chillwell and Fuchs fan...but, i dont think that Chilly as a wing back works, and i think Fuchs best days are behind him. So, i would drop Fuchs and put Chilly at left back and restart Albrighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top ten aspirations require us to put away sides like Stoke home or away But stoke are also considering themselves in that 7 to 10 place spread. winning at the 365 is something that no team should 'expect'. all the big sides have struggled there over the years at some point. expecting to win there marks you out as a top six club, not a top ten. really looking forward to see how Puel sets us up and the tactics he employs. anything could happen !

Purl seems like the sort of manager who looks to play against the team he's playing. What I mean by that is, set up his team based on the strengths and weaknesses of whatever team he's playing that day. Which explains why he chopped and changed so much at Southampton and why he's known for getting good results. It also explains why he's seen as boring as his main concern each week is to stop the opposing team from playing their game. I think this could work for us as it will keep a lot of the players happy, knowing they will play here and there and make us unpredictable for teams to play against. ‘His main in concern each week is stop the opposing team from playing their game.’ If that’s what he does we are in trouble, and I don’t agre with it at all. That was Shakespeare’s raison d’etre, and it was a complete load of bollox. There was nothing in that game on Sunday however to suggest this; more he played to our attacking strengths, which is the way to go with the players we have.

I think there WAS enough there to suggest that. In the first half, we stopped them by playing offensively. Once the changed their system, we changed ours to a more defensive style in order to counter their change.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 31 October 2017 Share Posted 31 October 2017 Puel and Appleton, wont be reading foxestalk.Planque is having a trial for Leicester Tigers,as the next prop forward. So, I will leave it to them to the selection and tactics.The aftermath means they will be either flowered with plaudits, or Planque, will return and pull out the board, for them to walk out on.... For me, 6-8 games before I analyse any game plans or selections. Individual games are always worth the comment, but I want to sit back and enjoy 1st the simplicity of supporting them blindly, and give the new set up, space and patience , affording them the respect, that they need time to mould, and mesh their ways into the team. That means, knowing their will be hiccups along the way... Stoke, is just 1 stone along a long road, that will help to slowly show us, what "Team-Puel" can produce..

Part of me says dropping Fuchs and Simpson after keeping a clean sheet against Everton is madness BUT if this system works it could be awesome.. Gray,Vardy & Mahrez together showed glimpses of being almost unplayable..Phil Neville said on MOTD the only way to have stopped THAT goal was to have brought Gray down..reminded me of what Heskey/Collymore might have been ...WTF lets go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
