Matt_Lcfc Posted 19 December 2018 Share Posted 19 December 2018 Soyuncu was pretty good last night, apart from the penalty. looks like Luiz in the way he plays out from the back. A bit too overconfident but think he has a good potential 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 19 December 2018 Share Posted 19 December 2018 i’d love to see him on the right of Morgan and Maguire on the left of a back 3... chilly and pereira bombing up... mendy. , N’didi and maddison in a sort of triangle and Vardy and someone else up front... also with those 3 coming up for set peices i think would be a real asset.

Keiriel Posted 19 December 2018 Share Posted 19 December 2018 I think a combination of Maguire/Soyuncu/Evans would work wonders, even if it meant switching to 3 at the back. Yes, I know this is a pipedream, but let me have this one! Maguire and Soyuncu would be free to play to their strengths and Evans would bring experience whilst providing defensive instructions to the other two; I've noticed that Morgan and Maguire play better with Evans, rather than each other. Also, with a back 3, Ricardo and Chilwell would be able to provide attacking width by playing as out and out wing-backs. Puel can still play with a couple of DMs, but a tweaked system might give the team more flexibility with attacking options. Seeing as this topic is about Lord Farquaard though, my opinion is that he was solid against Man City and didn't put a foot wrong, ignoring the penalty fiasco. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid penalty, especially when he'd seen the one before saved in the exact same place. Surely you’re not judging a young defender on his penalty taking abilities? I know Morgan as played well this season but I’d rather see a young lad in the team learning his game(and he’s done ok when hes played) than one who is hopefully leaving at the end of the season.

But for a 22 year old who's new in the country, league and team then that's fine with me. I hope we bench Morgan a bit more to give Soyuncu some more game time. are you for real. You put Benkovic ahead of him but have not seen him play in the EPL I'll await the Benkovic is shite comments after three games next season.

Was thinking about this earlier but I was having trouble figuring out what I'd do with Gray given we'd be playing the wing-backs as wingers essentially - he'd have to go central and drift about the entire width of the pitch, it'd kind of work if Maddison could do too but then it'd either leave the striker too isolated or Ndidi on his own mopping things up, but Maguire should turn into his England self in a 3-5-2 Kasper-- Farquaad - Wes - Mags Ric ------------------------------- Chilleh Undideh Madders ------------ -------Nacho Dim--------- Vardeh It could work quite well, and flexible you could drop Nacho for Mendy or Hamza to control play more. You've got freedom for the wingbacks, you've got numbers at the back, you've got four attacking players to cause havok - Nacho can drop, pop and link play, Maddison can float about and pull the strings, Gray can run into wide spaces and Vardy can exploit the spaces made by Gray. Can't see us changing the system so much though, maybe it's very impractical off of paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post huggybear Posted 20 December 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 20 December 2018 I think I watched a different game on Tuesday as I thought he was our MotM! He's agile, reads the game, plays it out of defence well, can beat a player and oozes confidence. I also don't agree that his passing is poor, he's one of few who actually play it into the path of the player rather than at them or behind them. He was also clearly distraught at missing the penalty (his penalty in the previous round was probably the best of all of them) - I think we have a real player on our hands here and would have no worries in him slotting in on a regular basis. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woznotwos Posted 20 December 2018 Share Posted 20 December 2018 Wasn't impressed with him when i've seen him previously but i thought he was excellent on Tuesday , in the top 4 LCFC players on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand with his hands in his pockets on the wing till the 60th minute until he comes out with something spectacular. Actually scratch that last part. Fuchs had him on toast. Aguero was quiet as hell. KDB is just amazing. Not taking anything away from Lord Faqaard, still think he played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible and fair post. Give him a run of games as opposed to 'in-out in-out shake it all about' and he will develop into a good player. No doubt he will be bombed out again this weekend. Just give him a run of games Puel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he messed up at Fulham for their goal. Just doesn't fill me with confidence when he's on the ball.........at the moment. I'm interested to see what the lad on loan at Celtic is like.

I agree with you regarding Fulham, he should have stayed on his feet. Arguably there was a quite similar incident on Tuesday and that time he got it right, so possibly he learned from the experience which is what he needs to get. It's a difficult call for a manager to make though and we would probably have differences of opinions on here and nobody would actually be wrong. Against the criticism of some, and despite the odd howler, Puel stuck with and put his faith in Chilwell and it's paid huge dividends. He does however appear to be emersing Soyuncu into the fray more gradually and presumably he has his reasons for that. If he was picked against Chelsea, which I doubt he will, it wouldn't be the end of the world for me. The same goes for Chowdhury. If they do play though we shouldn't be surprised at the odd misjudgement and make some allowances. Let's face it, not unlike De Breuyne on Tuesday, Hazard and Kante have the ability to makes monkeys out of some of Europe's best defenders let alone our kids! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah cause he couldn’t possibly make a mistake in a better league,all defenders make mistakes look at Morgan and Chilwell last season and those mistakes have made Chilwell better,he was getting slated last year,by me at times.
