Loss of momentum when attacking

Aka, shit tactics 

I’ll expand on that.

 

Any manager with an ounce of common sense must understand that the team needs to have its match winners / goal scorers as the priority. Tactics need to be focused on this premise.

 

Alas Puel clearly doesn’t understand this and it’s totally to the team’s detriment.

The other issue is that we predominantly attack through the full backs.

 

This can give you a huge advantage in one of two ways if done right:

1) It allows you to create an overlap with the wide men to provide more crossing opportunities; or

2) It allows the wide forward players to tuck inside and support Maddison and Vardy.

 

The latter is how we started when Puel first got here, with Mahrez and Gray coming off the flanks to support Vardy. 

 

Unfortunately we’ve now found ourselves playing more of the first style (an inevitable consequence of Albrighton being in the team). This is all well and good if you’ve got both a target man and runners from midfield but we have neither. Time and again Albrighton and Chilwell/Pereira create good openings and there’s nobody to aim for.

 

Inevitably this leads to getting into good positions before one of them has to put their foot on the ball and roll it back to Wes. And we start again.

So shit tactics then.

The main problem is CM. We cannot play ndidi and mendy together simple as that. You need either 3 Cms in a 433 with one a box to box or if 442 need at least one of them to be more attacking and creative. Can’t have 2 sitters and expect to create bundles of chances.

keeper and defence we are fine but it’s the midfield which we don’t dominate and create enough.

we should try re sign drinkwater and play:

 

Kasper

Perrera Morgan Evans Chillwell

            Ndidi Drinkwater

  Albrighton Maddison Gray

                  Vardy

 

that way we have pace on wings to get up and down. A clincal striker who would get done service from madders and wingers. Maddison would get better quality from drinks etc and more flow. Lots of energy on both wings to cover as well, 4 players with engines to burn.

the problem for me is 100% in cm. mendy offers nothing, as does Iborra, as does any of our back ups. We need a creative cm and another striker to help load of Vardy  and we should be good for top 6/7. Were really not that far off. Imo a few draws with Burnley and Fulham turned into wins only and we would be right in the mix!

things arnt as bad as they seem but we do need to change the fluidity in the way the teams playing and it starts with the cm.

teams with no cms who can get up to the edge of the D will always struggle. Yeah the key is having at least 1 cm who can run with the ball. All our cms arnt capable and just offload it everytime they get it or make a useless long ball. Need to be capable of bursting forward joining attacks

When the ball goes out wide we should expect it to be put in early. ... while the defenders are still retreating.

So... when the ball goes out wide everyone must move fwd.  Fwds and mids towards the box and every one else 30m fwd so there are no gaps. 

This means more fitness.  But we attack in numbers.

Too many times the ball goes to chilwell and he has no quick ball in... so we wait and the defenders get set.........
