lifted*fox Posted 23 September 2018 Share Posted 23 September 2018 attacking-wise we look pretty set, imo. few more games to gel and we'll be a dangerous force going forward. puel just needs to get the defence sorted - consistent (without morgan, imo) and we should be looking much tighter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because unlike when we were totally dependant on Mahrez and he would have 4 people on him because everyone else was shit, these 4 can all cause equal amounts of trouble. Especially if they swap around. This along with tightening up our defence is what we need to get to the next level. We are capable of controlling the game for long periods of time, having done it in patches in every game this season, including versus Liverpool and Man U. If we can stop shipping so many stupid goals then we will already gain a lot more points over the season, and then the finishing touch will be our attack. For the last 3 seasons we've basically relied on Vardy and Mahrez to get the bulk of our goals. We've lost Mahrez but Maddison and Nacho seem to have that clinical edge to their game that players like Albrighton, Okazaki, Ghezall and Gray currently do not have. Those players are still good and can be important to the team, but they don't seem to have that killer instinct (yet). Actually having just three players who can do this could be enough (see Liverpool), but then we need the other attackers to drag players around to make space and open things up. Gray didn't score or assist against Huddersfield but he made quite a big difference in stretching the game. However, as you say if Gray, Ricardo or Ghezall could add a consistent goal threat or assist production to their game it would massively improve the team. Even if you kept one player quiet, the others would get you! Thinking about it, how many goals would you expect each of our players to get, give or take? Vardy - 20? Maddison - 10 ? Nacho - 10? Gray - 5? Ghezall - 5? Albrighton - 5? Others - 10? That would be 65 goals which is a lot more than last season (49) but 3 less than when we won the title (68). I don't think we will be anywhere near that number but will probably end up being a bit better than last season, so probably around 50-55 goals scored. But many of our players are young so give them a few seasons and that's the sort of return I'd like to see from our players and team. I don't think we will ever see Leicester hit the sort of attacking numbers that teams like vintage Man United, Man City, Arsenal and even Chelsea have pulled off, but I do think that a team that can retain possession well which has clinical finishers could and should be capable of 60+ a season. So far we've scored in every game, which is a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerrrFox Posted 24 September 2018 Share Posted 24 September 2018 We need to play a 3-4-1-2 with Maddison in behind Vardy and Ian, gives him the freedom to go and find space and have Pereira and Chilwell bombing on. Ian and Vardy look like they could develop a real partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him saying that, and Chilwell putting in the extra effort over the summer, makes me really optimistic for our current crop of youngsters coming through. Fingers crossed the injury for Gray gives him some thinking time and added impetus to put in similar effort to come back stronger, and we could have a very adept trio knocking on Southgate's door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
