RODNEY FERNIO Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 2 minutes ago, Kopfkino said: Albrighton swinging in crosses to an isolated Vardy. Maddison not really playing anywhere. Three central midfielders stood in the centre circle. Oh it's going to be a delight. My thoughts as well … only hope is that Ricardo and Chilwell play a lot further forward but could see possible carnage in defence if this happens.

UniFox21 Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 The middle 3 is giving license for Chilwell and Ricardo to both bomb forward whilst having protection for the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniFox21 Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 On another note, radio leicester saying we'll notice Chilwell coming back is sh1t. Fuchs played 2 brilliant games for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crinklyfox Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 City lose 0-5 - Puel goes. City lose 0-2 - expected result, Puel stays (for now) So the team is loaded for defence and damage limitation. Or I may just be being cynical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we'll see a system similar to the City game. We'll try to keep it tight in defence, with looking to break quickly with Vardy, Albrighton and Maddison. Chilwell and Ricardo offering support on the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it vs Man City and Spurs. Though in both games we looked better when reverting back to 4-2-3-1! I believe Chelsea have the highest possession stats in the league though so if ever there was a game for three DMs this is probably it.

Hopefully if we can do the same we'll be good. Think our middle 3 is to also match the Chelsea system, wouldn't be surprised to see hazard man marked and jorginho targeted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paninistickers Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 I really hope everybody is right about Choudhury and I'm wrong. I'm horrified he's anywhere near the first team. Would prefer Gray over albrighton. frustrating that he is, he can run direct 30/40 yards and as such buy us some possession and territory (before, of course, the inevitable cut back in field) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 I just hope if we are battling and in this one still approaching half time we don't do our usual thing and concede giving the momentum and initiative to the big side. Haven't got enough fingers and toes to try and count the number of times we have done that in the last 3 seasons v big clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh on Gray because he was excellent midweek, but he put a proper shift in so not surprising that he's on the bench. Iborra was gash midweek, why would he deserve a start? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
