(In fact no crosses at all) There's no width, I appreciate the comment on not wanting crosses, but you need width to stretch and seperate the defence... otherwise you'll be hitting a brick wall all game. Just stick with what we've done and we'll be golden. 6 1
RowlattsFox Posted 22 October 2019 Posted 22 October 2019 Same team for me, lets give Barnes and Perez a run and see whether they have can take the opportunity. Both have been in and out the team so far. Praet will get another chance at some point.

The question from our point of view is quite what do we do once we are in these wide areas. If we are occupying the space to merely draw opposition players out of position, then pretty soon they will just let us sit wide whilst they they just sit in the box. Was propsoing the rather weird setup to try to get Vardy, Maddison and Perez breaking into the box from through balls and chipped passes over the defence. Anyhow, just passing the time

(In fact no crosses at all) I'd go similar, except I'd opt for closer to a 4-1-3-2/4-4-2diamond formation and drop Perez for Barnes. Barnes and Vardy are both capable of stretching the defense out to the wings which will give more space for Maddison/Tielemans to work in. Ndidi can screen the defense and whenever one of the FBs pushes on he can sit deeper. Praet can keep things ticking over nicely and if we need to switch to 4-2-2-2 to control possession for a bit then he's perfectly capable of that. Also gives Brendan an easy switch to playing out-and-out wingers with just one sub if we need it.
deanolegend1989 Posted 22 October 2019 Posted 22 October 2019 (edited) I dont quite understand why everyone seems to be wanting to change things. We are playing great football, winning every game we play our best formation. We dropped points vs Wolves because we played 2 DMs. We lost to Man utd and Liverpool because we had Maddison wide. Its as simple as this for me, We are BETTER than Southampton, believe were better than them and play to our strengths and not to combat their strengths. Kasper Ricardo Soyuncu Evans Chillwell Ndidi Tillimens Maddison Perez/Albrighton Barnes Vardy. Play that we win, simple as that..trying to get praet in the game and dislodge our balance is ridiculous. Play our best team, Maddison and Tillmens can dominate that game if you play them centrally and gives more space for Vardy. When Maddisons wide, theres less space in the centre and Maddison cant use his skills(those smart balls around the corner and quick movement). When hes on the wing, he hasnt got the pace of Barnes and the full backs can keep it away from the danger. For me its obvious, play the above team every game(bar injurys or suspesions) and we have a great chance for top 3 even top 2! IMO our best 11(the one above) in their best postions, are the 3rd best team in the league, we will do it if we dont try and be the bloody tinker man every game. Play the above team: Southampton 0-2 Leicester. Edited 22 October 2019 by deanolegend1989 2
Dahnsouff Posted 22 October 2019 Posted 22 October 2019 (edited) Some of the responses relate to the lack of product from the wingers (As highlighted by Brendan), and yes, I realise Barnes and Gray provided the assists against Burnley. However, there is no rule to say a good team cannot get better through change. Or make a right c*cking mess through unnecessary experimentation Edited 22 October 2019 by Dahnsouff 2
Master Fox Posted 22 October 2019 Posted 22 October 2019 Pérez is better off the bench. Need Dennis to start this game. 1
HighPeakFox Posted 22 October 2019 Posted 22 October 2019 I don't necessarily want change. I was just considering a way of accommodating Praet, as a few of us think he's mustard. 4

He also got a lot of praise for his performance. From glimpses so far he looks a very good player. Haven't seen this... What game was that? Belgium play 343

Belgium play 343 To be honest I was flicking through the channels rather than watching so may have been 343 but he was definitely playing rhs of midfield. Set the first goal up from there.
CosbehFox Posted 22 October 2019 Posted 22 October 2019 I have concerns about Ings and his work ethic against our pair of centre-backs. Other than that, Up the City!
Gazza M Posted 22 October 2019 Posted 22 October 2019 If we do the basics well (good concentration, closing down, winning 2nd balls) our quality will come through for a win I am sure.
smr Posted 22 October 2019 Posted 22 October 2019 We shouldn't have lost to Liverpool's first team so there's no ****ing way we're not smashing their reserves.
Spicer Posted 22 October 2019 Posted 22 October 2019 I'd probably keep the same team. Although I'd be tempted to replace Perez with Albrighton
Koke Posted 23 October 2019 Author Posted 23 October 2019 Rumour that Maddison is still struggling with an injury and may not even travel. When is Rodgers pre match presser so he can confirm?

It's not as if he had to adapt from a foreign league or being played in an unfamiliar position.

UniFox21 Posted 23 October 2019 Posted 23 October 2019 Haven't managed to spot Maddison on one of the training pictures yet, so potential that he is carrying a knock still.
