And now we have a three at the back and two up front that work well together. That wasn’t an option before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 28 April 2021 Share Posted 28 April 2021 I'm sorry for Harvey, As much as we miss him in a way I'm glad he's not playing this Month. As now he'll have a proper timespan to recover. Get a full pre season and be ready for the new season. The only game I would have liked to have him for is the final but that wasn't likely to happen without him playing a few cameo's before the final to help him get his confidence back. At least now we know where we stand now. Good luck with the recovery Harvey, you are missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's crystal clear that the formation we're using is the best way to get our best available players on the pitch, and while results are as good as they've been, I see no reason to mess with it. Clear as mud. There are ways to get both strikers on the pitch without using five at the back, as myself and others have expounded upon various times on other threads. BR chooses not to explore them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, but then you have to drop one of Fofana, Soyuncu or Evans. I can't blame BR for not wanting to do that. We've got 3 great CBs, 1 winger and a striker in the form of his life who has to be in a two. Why look any further than 3-4-1-2? Why should we be experimenting with formations at the business end of a very important season when things are going so well? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume next season / when all players are fit we will revert back to one up front which doesn't benefit Kelechi. or Vardy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likely wouldnt have been sharp, as been available to play and fully match fit are different things. Less headaches for the manager now but bad news for Barnes on his road to recovery.

The games we're winning - CP, Southampton - aren't really the result of strong performances. We're relying on gutting them out and Kel playing hero ball. West Ham was dominating enough but truthfully they were so lifeless that they'd have lost to most Championship sides the way they played. I think we're winning matches - against bad teams - in spite of the formation rather than because of it. We have control of most matches and make plenty of chances. I'm not sure what more you'd want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 30 April 2021 Share Posted 30 April 2021 Have we had a penalty since he got injured? We don't have anyone else that does bursting runs forward now Vardy has lost that bit of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactics now seem to be get so far up the pitch then wing backs pass it inside and hope Tielemans can find a through ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
