Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 Good to see there's a lot of agreement on here on certain areas. Madison is not a winger neither is Harvey. The two could interchange. In a high tempo (!) buildup Barnes will tear them a new one in that position given the chance ...and the ball Schmeicel Morgan Maguire Simpson Chilwell Hamza Ndidi. Ricardo. Barnes Maddison Vardy

We really need to improve against Lower League Teams. Cardiff, Brighton, Fulham should be 3 points per game. Nothing Less. Really needs to Change, Teams are Parking the Bus so we can't find a way through and we're lacking ideas and creativity.

Just need some consistency in the squad Barnes & Hamza both quality players who need regular first team football, we’ve given away some soft goals from defensive positions and we really need to tighten up ! CP DESPERATELY needs to do something ASAP before we drop any lower away from the European places ? Makes you think really how things are going on in the board room with the fan unrest even some players have probably vented their concerns, we’ve gone from a happy bunch of fans to a very unhappy and volatile bunch of foxes faithful just wondering when the dreaded vote of confidence will arise from the board have they just written this season off ond will make wholesale changes in the summer and may have a replacement in mind who knows?

Basically a job share to fill in for one player - Kante Always felt we were compromising our play and particularly any creativity to accommodate Mendy. N'didi has different physical attributes to Hamza and Mendy

N'did has different physical attributes to Hamza Hmm maybe. I just think Mendys all round game is better. Ndidi just doesnt look that comfortable when hes got the ball at his feet looking forward. He hasnt got a great technique with shooting either, really suprised that hasnt been coached out of him. Hes probably lost a lot of confidence though like a few others.

Hamza comes in for Mendy and we setup to attack would be the obvious way to go.

Dont really care about the stats for him, apart from having a good record for intercepting or whatever hes been largely shit, simple as that.

Drop him in deeper so he can actually get involved more, with Barnes, Albrighton and Gray or Iheanacho or whoever all linking uo behind Vardy. We absolutely must stop the obsession of playing hundreds of defensive midfielders against crap teams that are just parking the bus. Edit: to be clear, definitely not away against Wolves.

Although it seems to be consensus on here that Puel employed three DMs on Saturday that's not how I saw it. Mendy was clearly instructed to sit, Wilf to break up play and Hamza to win/bring the ball and drive forward.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 How can we compete with these? I mean if our glorious leader is saying that who are we to disagree 5-0 defeat incoming against the mighty Wolvesalona

When people say that, they don't mean that all three sat playing a holding role right in front of the defence. They mean that Hamza, Wilf and Mendy are all defensive midfielders, which they are. You could, at an absolute stretch, maybe claim Hamza is a box to box midfielder but (as much as I love the guy) you'd be being kind. If Maddison stopped being so limp and put a decent defensive shift in, though, how good would it be to see: Maddison, Hamza Albrighton, Barnes, Gray Vardy I'm not even English and I like the idea of that. Especially with current internationals Maguire and Chilwell behind them.

I honestly think that is the intention. I think Puel visualises him as Moussa Dembélé.Mk.II 18 minutes ago, Finnegan said: If Maddison stopped being so limp
Finnegan Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 Choudhary could yet develop in to a great all round midfielder, I think he's more composed on the ball and has better touch than Mendy, personally. He's becoming one of my favourite players at the moment. But I don't see him particularly roaming the final third spraying defence splitting passes at the moment. He's definitely, first and foremost, a ball winner.

Not cutting it at the moment imo Good to have the option of him and Albrighton as lively subs. Ricardo a better winger than right back imo Simpson openly bombed out too early by Puel

That's what I was thinking. Against Southampton (obviously they were bus parked with 10 men which won't always happen) him dictating play from deeper allowed Barnes to play in the 10 and I think that would really help things, if we had all that creativity on the pitch. Have Ndidi strictly as a defensive screen. Or maybe a 4-1-4-1, like Manchester City. Not away at Wolves though, yes
