If we do start Albrighton, we need him to stop looking to cross to the front of the goal, we don't have the players to do anything other than pick up the pieces if there's a deflection. Perhaps if he targets a trailing Maddison or Mendy higher in the box more frequently we'll get a bit more joy. He assisted again today, who is he supposed to cross too? Only Vards consistently gets in the box so he's easy to crowd out need the big Wilf joining him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Albrighton didn't get an assist today, come off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh we were putting in great crosses for a big striker but we don’t have a big striker so it was a bit pointless. Our crosses need to be fast and lower to suit our strike force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 19 August 2018 Share Posted 19 August 2018 One red card and we are already looking light up top if Iheanacho fails to perform. Assume Okazaki will come on to the bench. Was happy to let Ulloa and Slimani leave but think we need an extra striker, even just as an extra option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted 19 August 2018 Share Posted 19 August 2018 Albrighton needs to play on the left or not at all for me, but it looks like thats Gray's position this season. I hope we're not considering Albrighton on the right as a long term solution he isn't even half as effective than when he's on the left. We probably can't play Ghezzal and Ricardo together though, as it's been mentioned elsewhere we're really short on wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our crosses need to be fast and lower to suit our strike force Agree with this. There is a stat somewhere which shows we had the worst crossing conversion rate in the division last season which is totally unsurprising given we play one up front who is shorter than six foot. The crosses we put in are actually good ones but pointless for the way we play. The other way we could improve is if the opposite winger joins the attack to be an option at the far post and Gray at least was making those runs. Still he’s not exactly renowned for his aerial ability so don’t expect much. I have to say it’s the one thing that confuses me about our system. The fact we put so many high crosses in must be deliberate but totally agree we should just ping them in low! I wouldn’t be surprised if this gets sorted as the season progresses though. I think the general vibe on Foxes Talk at least is that whilst we are rough around the edges this season we can at least get an idea of how the manager wants us to play. Perfecting a system takes time as evidenced by Guardiola, Klopp hell even Ranieri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 19 August 2018 Share Posted 19 August 2018 I'd be tempted to go unchanged but with Kelechi in for Vardy. I'm still not completely convinced by Albrighton on the right mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghezzal or Diabate as left-sided players would give us more balance as Gray and Albrighton are both very right-footed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKFox Posted 19 August 2018 Share Posted 19 August 2018 Redmond always looks dangerous, but thankfully Hughes has no idea how to play to his teams strengths. Ings will need to be watched as he is back amongst the goals. Their defence will always concede, but all depends how Kelechi and Maddison link up. Puel will want to do well and we should see our players have more freedom and play exciting football. Need a good performance from Gray but I think we will get the win 2-1.
