I'd rather we stuck to the young guns, but if this is picking a team for a reaction, it could be 442. And I said ‘if’ this were to happen Stowell and Adam whatshisface should be binned off.

We really do need a completely new regime to break up the cliques and start our new era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xen Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 (edited) Those of you advocating for a radical change in players/formation do realise its only been 3 days since the last match, right? We'll have had - at most - 2 training sessions with at least one of those a recovery session, so we won't have had time to drill any major tactical changes. It's not like when Shakey took over and he could revert to the title-winning form - he still had all the same players and itd only been 8 months since the win. In this case the entire squad has been rebuilt and its >18months since we last played a succesful style, so anything new needs training time to implement. Changes will be limited so I'd imagine we'll push Ricardo up, Simpson behind and go with something along the lines of: Schmeichel Simpson Evans Maguire Chilwell Ndidi Tielemans Ricardo Maddison Barnes Vardy If we're feeling a little more 'exotic' perhaps the same lineup but: Schmeichel Simpson Evans Maguire Ricardo Ndidi Tielemans Chilwell Maddison Vardy Barnes Similar setup and not much different tactically other than Barnes alongside Vardy rather than out wide. Morgan could easily make his way into the squad though, which imo would not be the right choice. Edited 26 February 2019 by Xen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree. It's become increasingly clear over the past year that we need new decor on the training ground. Hopefully the off-pitch support staff all stick around, and I'd imagine they will. I'd like to see a sports psychologist brought back, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m excited tonight and I’ve forgot what it feels like I really hope everyone there is now released from the "shackles" of Puel and brings back the good atmosphere. And not just the first 10-15 minutes. Obviously would be perfect if we go 2-0 inside the opening 20 minutes. Either way, get the support back up to scratch.

Col city fan Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 We play our best side and win. The players have to be revved up for this one surely? They no longer have to play for Fraud and will be wanting to impress the new bloke Cmon City 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfoxes Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 All the players will be vying for starting places under Rodgers so can see this a pretty decent win for us tonight fingers toes crossed !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspa Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 No reason not to make a load of racket tonight lads - another beautiful day, Puel is back in François. New manager in the stands and players showing what they can do for him. Noise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie the Fox Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 With all the who doo's and what not's with Puel out and Brendan in, over the last few days i'd completely forgot we were playing tonight. Very happy, bottle of red awaiting & I'd be surprised if we didnt get a win tonight. 3-1 City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
