Shane Posted 22 September 2018 Share Posted 22 September 2018 One thing that could make this line up work is if Maddison drops deep, dictates the play and ghosts into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 22 September 2018 Share Posted 22 September 2018 This is actually quite fun. You could make a quiz show out of this. I'll have a second go: For at the back, two defensive midfielders, Ian lurking behind Vardy and Ghezzal and Maddison either of Ian, moving Maddison into his favourite inverted winger position. Farque frightened Puel so Soyuncu's dropped, Richardo called Puel gay so he's benched and Gray needs a rest because young footballers generally do. They probably needed more than one extra training session to work this one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to offer absolutely nothing coming forward, Ricardo's been very good at home this season but away he's been caught out a lot. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderbyFox Posted 22 September 2018 Share Posted 22 September 2018 I urge anyone who thinks Diabate should be in the squad to watch an U23 game, Ndukwu is a far better player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 22 September 2018 Share Posted 22 September 2018 7 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: It's all set up for 70% possession, them being camped in their half and us finding it frustratingly difficult to work any openings. It'll be passed from defender to defender, in to a midfielder, back to defender, out to a winger, jockeyed along quite slowly so the opposition can form a wall, worked inside, back outside and then eventually an aimless cross in. At least there's potentially 2 strikers rather than 1 today to try and attack any crosses, Iheanacho is a bit stronger in the air so let's hope we find a bit of space. Might as well hit them with tempo early on with the setup that we have, then add Pereira as a replacement for Ghezzal on the right to deliver the fatal blow somewhere in the second half. Let's not verbally throw this game away already before it hasn't even kicked off yet. Here's to a better match than last weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too defensive if it plays out like it looks and I'm not anti-Puel by any stretch but meh. Tired of seeing Vardy isolated up front as well. But with Iheanacho it looks like a 2 man attack to me ........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 22 September 2018 Share Posted 22 September 2018 (edited) Strange formation. I'm guessing that Amartey will stay at full back to allow Ghezzal to do his thing while Chilwell will bomb forward as he does with Maddison tucking in. It does seem like a bit like he's grasping at straws a bit though. Two deep-lying midfielders at home against a struggling side seems like a very conservative move. Edited 22 September 2018 by Paddy.

Shane Posted 22 September 2018 Share Posted 22 September 2018 4-2-2-2? Similar to how Watford line up..?? Ghezzal and Maddison in behind the front 2, with a licence to roam similar to Hughes and Pereya.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 22 September 2018 Share Posted 22 September 2018 Anyone considered that Puel makes changes to his team due to players being a bit shit? Or would you be moaning if he played the same team that was trailing 4 nil to Bournemouth? You know just because Ranieri kept the same 11 every game, it doesnt mean we should do it every season no matter what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 22 September 2018 Share Posted 22 September 2018 I’d argue that playing Nacho, Vardy and Madders shows attacking intent. Dropping Ricardo seems like saying he wants Amartey to protect Evans which after the Wolves game has merit. Playing neither Gray or Albrighton is slightly surprising. I think like some others here I worry about creativity. But if there’s any consolation i’m at the game watching shooting practice and Madders is banging them in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree Ricardo was poor defensively so I can see why he has been dropped. Pleasing he is playing Vardy and Kalechi, but why not use 352 where we have perfect balance and no players out of position. Anyway, results based if his team wins then he has got everything correct! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 22 September 2018 Share Posted 22 September 2018 19 minutes ago, UPinCarolina said: Amartey is a little more stable than Ricardo, IMO. Seems like we’ll transition to a 3 at the back going forward? Someone else mentioned this and it makes sense. I really like Armatey and feel he is sometimes hammered unfairly. For sure he is no slouch so will help out the Tortoises Twins, this as opposed to Ricardo who is normally too advanced to do this when the opponents break quickly following a breakdown of one of our offensive moves. This will hopefully work out today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
